Using a CCNA book is a popular choice these days of studying for the difficult CCNA exam. There is a large variety of CCNA books available on the market. However, there are many CCNA boot camps, classroom based instructor-led training as well as CCNA video training. Many people choose their exam preparation method based on their budget and learning style. Here are 4 advantages of using a CCNA book to study for your exam:

1. Cost effective

Using a CCNA book is by far the most cost effective means of studying for your exam. A good CCNA book will usually not cost more than $50. In comparison, a Cisco approved classroom course at a training centre typically costs a few thousand dollars. If you are on a budget, using a CCNA book definitely provides the most bang for the buck.

2. Coverage Of All Objectives

Each time the CCNA exam has been updated by Cisco (you can check the latest version at the Cisco website), the CCNA book publishers will revise the book to include the new objectives, and remove those that are no longer relevant. Some books even have bonus material now, for example, videos and other sample exams. This ensures that you have the most comprehensive coverage of all current exam materials for the CCNA exam.

3. Technically Accurate

The writers of CCNA books are typically highly qualified and certified. The best CCNA books are written by certified and qualified CCIEs, many of whom have years of experience working in the IT networking industry. The CCIE is currently the highest level of certification accorded by Cisco for technical excellence. For this reason, you can be assured that the book written to a high technical standard.

These include books have provide deep coverage of the material, as well as the exam review type of books which are good for a quick revision before the CCNA exam. Books containing sample tests are also widely available, as are books that contain lab scenarios. I can say that there is a book for every aspect of the exam.
