I ‘crushed’ the CCNA exam thanks to Neil’s course, and went from being a mail courier to my first tech job as a network lab engineer working for Cisco.”

“100% Satisfied with the course…I honestly can’t think of anything that I can mention to make this course any better because it is already perfect….the downloadable slides and the answer keys to labs, the tempo of his speaking and everything is 100% excellent for me.”
– Ali Tajvidi
Remember when you had a homework assignment for school? And you did the homework the night before it had to be handed in.
The fact is we all leave things until the last minute, and often we wouldn’t do them at all if there wasn’t a deadline there to give us a push.
Doing that homework was good for your future self, and so is this course. I KNOW it’s going to get you a better job and better pay, so I’m giving you the extra bump to get started.
“After experiencing at least four other CCNA instructors/courses Neil’s CCNA course is by far the best. This course just puts it all into action in a clear and concise way.
One of the best things I like is how much of a complete course this is. He provides instructions on how to setup your lab environment with many practice labs, sample study plans and extra guidance and resources.
But to me the real cherry on top is Neil’s active involvement. He is quick at responding to questions and really has a genuine care to help us all succeed.”
– John Artinian
Accountability is built into the course to ensure you remain on track. You’ll receive a suggested timetable of video tutorials, quizzes and lab exercises to complete every week.
You have access to the course forever so it’s always there if you need more time, but I want to give you the knowledge, hands-on skills and exam practice to get your CCNA and prepare you for a real world networking role as quickly as possible.
“I found Neil’s course and quickly realized that it was designed to help candidates not only pass the exam, but also to understand how networks function in the real world.
Six weeks later I passed the CCNA exam, and I am now a Technical Consultant at a Telecommunication Service Provider.”
– Abdulai Fadiga
None of the topics are hard to understand, but you do need to spend the time to learn them. The harsh truth is that most people are too lazy to learn the skills that will take their career to the next level.
I make the topics easy to understand, whether you already have years of experience or are starting as a complete beginner. I’m with you every step of the way, and if you have any questions just ask, I love to help.
I promise you will learn everything you need to pass the exam.
I’m giving you everything you need to get the job you want, now you just have to watch the course.
Staff members don’t sit in the cloud, they sit in a corporate office or work from home. Companies using cloud services need network connections between their cloud servers, their offices and their staff, the same as if those servers were in the company’s own data center.
Cloud has made enterprise class data centers more affordable to more companies, and they all need qualified network engineers to support them. Demand for network engineers is at its highest ever:
Network Engineer Job Vacancy Trend. ITJobsWatch.co.uk
Every year since I started the doom-mongers have said that whatever this year’s latest technology is will kill our job, yet here we are still earning the big bucks. Every new IT technology since networks have existed has increased the need for network engineers.
And if you go on to specialize in cloud, networking is one of the core skills you’ll need.
“Breaks everything down and is easy to follow. Also, the format of the course is great because he goes through the entire explanation of the subject then has the lab and with the provided documents it makes it great for retaining information.”
– Brian Briggs
“Explanations are precise and concise. This is the best material on networking in general and on the CCNA. It is very good for those who are new to networking as well as those who are advanced and even experts.”
– Elikem Affram

“Impressive amount of detail in every explanation – I have some years of active networking experience and am still finding myself compelled to sit through to learn more efficient methods.
I wanted a test study guide, and I actually got a much more solid fundamental understanding of networking.”
– Tyler Grimmett
The CCNA is the most in-demand networking certification today and opens the door to your career in IT. Here are the benefits you’ll attain after taking the course and passing the exam:
“I’m very satisfied with the presentation of the material, every question that comes to mind is answered. Having a lab demo after the lecture is really helpful as well as the study notes to refer to. I’m very glad I chose this course for my CCNA training.”
– Vytas Banionis
Hi, I’m Neil Anderson. My main focus since 2007 has been development and delivery of technical training for large enterprise and service provider customers such as Cisco, NetApp, Verizon and IBM. I train the engineers who design and implement the largest Cloud and Data Center deployments throughout Asia Pacific and the rest of the world.
Prior to focusing on training I worked in the field for over 10 years in a variety of network engineering roles. I love sharing my knowledge and can’t wait to help you take your career to the next level.

Yes, it starts off with the basics of networking and takes you all the way through to CCNA level knowledge and skills.
It's self-paced training - you can watch the videos and do the lab exercises whenever and wherever is best for you.
You have access to the course forever - your enrolment never expires.
To complete the course in 6 weeks you'll need to study for around 2 hours per day - the same time it takes to watch a movie.

6 weeks is a suggested time frame to get the knowledge and hands-on skills you need to pass the CCNA exam as quickly as possible. You can take as long as you need to work through the course material though - it's not a problem if you want to go at a slower pace or if something comes up during your studies.
Yes, you can install the Teachable app on your tablet or mobile (or using an emulator on your PC) to download the videos and quizzes and watch them offline. All of the study notes, Anki flashcards and lab exercises are provided as downloadable PDFs, Anki packages and Packet Tracer projects.
Yes, you will receive a verifiable course certificate upon course completion.
The CCNA 200-301 exam, the latest version.
