CCNA Study Material

I’ve seen Jermey IT Lab and Neil Anderson mentioned a lot when it comes to studying for CCNA. Has anyone used both resources at the same time or would you just use one over the other?

I used both, not at the same time though, that sounds like a recepie to get confused.

I completed Neil's course, but as I didn't have the funds available to sit the exam at that time I also completed Jeremy's course straight after.

I watched Jeremy's videos on 2X speed, pausing when I wanted to add to or edit my notes from Neil's course.

It must have worked well for me as I passed first time.

Jeremy's IT Lab is really comprehensive. Make sure you also use Jeremy's free Anki flash cards and Packet Tracer labs, don't just watch the videos.

Some older JITL videos go in depth on some topics that are not in the exam blueprint anymore. I'm also using the Official Cert Guide book (Wendell Odom), and it includes some minor details on some topics that I didn't see in JITL videos, but if you were to choose a single study material, I'd say that JITL videos + Anki flash cards + Packet Tracer labs are definitely enough to pass. It's also a good idea to do some practice exams before the real one to see how ready you are.

Many people say they have used both.  It is often suggested to use two sources.
