How to pass the CCNA 200-301 | Are you doing it the WRONG, 😳 TRADITIONAL, or [SMART] way?

did you know there are three ways and how you can get your Cisco CCNA or any other IT certification well now you know better there are three ways and let me tell you something the way that you go through the way that you approach am you getting your Cisco CCNA or any other certification matters a lot and how you end up or not getting the job that you want or probably for you to get your first job in IIT this is what I'm gonna ask you for you to go to the entire video and for you to take note that way once you go through the entire video you know better you know what to do or what not to do and you have a better idea and how to go through an approach that process that you are about to or that you are going through right now for you to get your Cisco CCNA or any other certification so again three ways on how to do it number one the wrong way and I hope this is not you because I see many people out there they have a ton of I teach certifications but they have a low paying job they don't have that job that they want or a high paying job that will give them obviously more income and more opportunities for them to grow and that because they go and do this the wrong way number two and that's that traditional way and I call that the right way that me I used to do many years back when I don't know any better but now they are there is the smart way and that's exactly the way that I go through every time that I decided I need to get certified that's exactly what I do I go based on me doing it the smart way as well as all of my students and now you will know better this way you can compare you know this is something that I've been doing but now that I know better I'm not gonna do that no more this is why probably I'm stuck oh wow this is a good thing for me to do you know I never thought of it so now that I know better well let me go and do that okay so once again take note so let's go through that wrong way and by the way this is based on me having a ton of conversations with a ton of people in the IT community you know I've been teaching for the last three years so I've been talking to a lot of people because obviously I want to know what's holding them back you know and one obviously I want to know how they think and how they approach and go through and get certified that's how I ended up going through and finding this information okay so many of them database they go paste on well let me get the book ok I see many people getting the book well let me get a book that way I can feel better about myself that I'm doing something about it you know I got a physical thing for me to look at saying I'm doing something about it now that I have some time well let me kind of go to the book now that I have it right so I when I get certified and by the way let me take a picture and post it on social media that says I'm doing something about it when probably you are not so ok let's go through the book and at one point you get bored or probably overwhelmed frustrated too much information and the book that for me it's probably completely new or to the I don't know if this is something that I really have to know for me to pass a test but I think I do because it's in the book man this is too much you see that happened to me by the way and it's happening to many people and that's because they get that book at us first resource and studying the content now they'd be like ok you know let me go and do what many people do you know let me go through a few videos so many videos online problems YouTube and see another way for me to learn the topics so I'm gonna do this based on going through videos so again that's probably good but the way that you go and do that you may be doing that wrong and you know a lot about that once we go to option number three okay now I see that many people memorize the questions to pass the exam well if I see many people doing that because that's exactly what I see online do you have that questions or do you know where can I find the questions and that's exactly what they do you don't want to feel behind and obviously you want to feel that you accomplished something right so you probably end up or many people do go get the questions memorize the questions take the test passed and they think oh now I'm certified again people that go and do this that's exactly why they don't have a high paying job in nineteen now the last thing that I see everyone doing is they focus a hundred percent to pass that test what that means is this okay I'm gonna get my CCNA so let me go all in let me focus I need to pass the test okay I'm gonna go through this topic I'm gonna do this lap I'm gonna go through this video because I need to pass the test I need to get my CCNA and that's exactly the only thing they focus on for the next few months you don't do that you don't do that because then you are like everyone else and I will tell you more about it taste once we go through option three okay about this one now let's go through option to that traditional way and this is what I call in that theme that I used to do myself many years back when I didn't know any better is doing it the right way and that means okay I'm gonna buy I'm gonna get you know and go through our full training video course that's exactly what I'm gonna do and obviously there are a ton out there right so let me get one let me go through all of it okay this is good and probably case you end up getting the book too but you're going through an entire video training course but you're doing this wrong again and I will tell you why why once you get to option three okay but that's exactly what I used to do okay now the other thing they do they use too many resources if I go online right now and I see what resources I have for me to study the CCNA they are hundreds out there so at one point and I need you to listen to this because that's something that's happening to many people that happened to me and plot is happening to you that you go through that process and be like okay I'm learning this you know from these videos I'm doing some hands-on based on the labs this is good okay Oh someone advised me to download that PDF or you know going based on that resource okay let me go and get it and then you go through it and be like oh my god I bother I knew this but now I see that I don't man I need to go back and can I go through this again and then this is something that you go over and over again so now it's not just weeks probably it's months and you are not feeling ready confident and a bump la a bump on you probably thinking you know this is not for me I think I'm dumb you know what let me just going memorize our questions you know let me just do that you know I try my best but you know I don't I don't think I get it but that's because you are all over the place going through so many resources out there you do not have a detailed plan of action and how you're going to execute that you get in in this case let's say you're Cisco CCNA or any other certification that you are working on right now okay so do not go through and based on having too many resources and I will go through it and a better way once we go to once we get to option 3 now another thing is do hands-on labs that's good but you probably turn it wrong and this is wrong that you're probably going through one video and that person probably is teaching you how to configure a billion an ether channel how to do a static routing or probably how to set up and configure OSPF so you're listening right and then you're doing what they're explaining to you what they're teaching you and yes you probably went on for maybe an hour and doing that and you feel that you accomplished something but if you really think about it and this I know this because I asked these questions many people is that okay can you explain that to me and what happened what you end up doing or why did you end up doing that or if I take that command what will that have well what will happen they have no idea what to say oh so if I take that command I think it's not gonna work obviously it's not gonna work for tell me why I don't know I just end up what these guys told me to do and I did it any work yeah but you make no sense of it you just basically copy and paste you turn it the wrong way you just following someone a scenario that it's not your a scenario that's not your doing more on how to learn what you are learning at a moment you need to process that information a lot better not just based on that with their teaching that to you okay so yes many people wouldn't do that wrong you can probably go and do a big lab right based on what you have learned from this person and kind of copy and paste or he's doing that I'm gonna do that but then when I come up to you and ask you what can you tell me exactly why did you do that or can you tell me if I take that comment out or can you explain me how can we get another of that one thing that you did what will happen or how will you do that no idea so are you really learning the right way probably not now the other thing too I see and this is everyone again they focus a hundred percent to pass the test okay I'm gonna go through these videos I'm going to go through that book to probably I'm gonna do these hints and laps and my only focus is I need to pass a test I need to pass the test I need to pass the test so I'm learning going through the content going through everything I have to go through and thinking that pin focus and that I need to pass a test run when you think that way you're ready loose because now you like everyone else many of them not able to get a job now here probably you may memorize the questions or now maybe maybe not some people do some people don't but most people do okay they end up and memorized the questions again some people do some people don't put most people they end up doing that okay well now let's go through it that smart way and this is where I need you to take notes and this is where I need you for you to compare based on option one and option two and based on what you're doing right now and if you're not doing any of the things that I'm gonna go through right now that's time for you to do something about it right now because it works and this is exactly what's gonna differentiate you from everyone else in the market you're doing what I'm about to walk you through that's exactly what's gonna differentiate you from everyone else in the market but first I had to go through option 1 and 2 because I know probably you're doing some of those things and how you approach and how you go through and you getting certified ok so let's go through and exactly what you need to do number one don't focus only and pass in the exam what does that mean okay that's exactly why I got the book I need to get my CCNA we need to get my MCS a we need to get my CCP we need to get my AWS you know practitioner certification I need to get that certification obviously like that's the reason why I'm getting that book I'm going through those videos and this research I'm doing this labs what else well let me ask you why do you want to get certified probably because you want to get a better job in IT job they will pay you more because you want to move up that will give you more opportunities maybe because you finally want to want to get into doing something a lot better there has more value right so why not think of it that way let's say I'm getting the job when you go and get the job you have to do what do you have to apply and then you have to go through that job interview process and when you go through that there will be a few people asking you technical questions right so how can you answer a question based on something that you have learned throughout the process and you can certify well okay I study the topics really good yes that's good and that's the reason why you come up with a technical definition like everyone else nothing is special about you you sound like everyone else you're not unique there's no way that I can remember you because that's not just you there are other probably 10 people going through the same process so how I'm gonna remember you if you answer every technical question the same way that everyone else does by giving a technical definition so when I go through this process right I do not focus only on passing the test how can I use this information that I'm learning for me to be able to sell to other people to educate other people about it to present this information about it or frum it probably for me to get back at my job and you have that access or it's one of my responsibilities to do something about it you see but you just change in that way of thinking everything is going to change on how you study okay also they a study to create stories to tell doing it the smart way that's because you're going to study to create a stories to tell well I just went through on that difference between a in a switch well how can I tell that and a story would you be able to do that like right now if I come up to you and I ask you what's the difference between a router and a switch and I'm asking you a very basic question a very basic question then I know you know but can you tell me that the inference oh yes quality of course switches work on the layer to avoid same arrow ah the data link layer and routers work on the layer 3 of the OSI model the network layer and routers to divide broadcast and networks IP addresses switches frames and MAC addresses that's exactly what most people will say the same thing some type of a technical definition you didn't tell me a story and I can go on and on and on hours to teach you this that's how many students without a bachelor's degree without any experience in IT and only their CCNA are able to get a job in IT why not you I'm telling you exactly what we to take the time to process the information that you are going through that you are learning in a way that you can tell a stories about it focused on a few resources before I'm gonna go and get certified I know exactly what I'm gonna go through I know exactly there are resources that I'm gonna go through and I do not focus and anything else even though probably someone is gonna reach out to me a call if you have a like-new I already have everything planned out for the next six seven weeks I know exactly what I'm gonna go through week one and week two all the way to week six seven I know exactly what I'm gonna go through and study because I didn't a research based on that resources I need it okay so you can I'm not all over the place I have a few what does that mean that first when I'm gonna go and get certified if if if I have some hints on I have some knowledge I'm gonna go through two full video training courses so I reach out to two vendors and I go through both now if that's a topic all of them completely new to me and I don't have probably hints and I'm gonna go through three full video courses I'm gonna go and reach out to get three vendors they teach that one clarification not two three if most of the topics are new to me now - if some of the topics have no the job and I have some experience with then I will go through - okay so let's say CCNA completely new to you to go through three different resources okay the other ones that I will go through is just going through if I have the book the PDF just go through base and doing some more research about what I have learned previously through the videos in the labs okay now about the labs do a lot of hands-on labs well what's the difference between option to Jorge like most people do hands-on labs as well what's the difference and how you do it or just students do it well let me tell you okay when I create a lab that's Bay's now and want someone else taught me and a video I'm like okay I get it you went through these videos based on how to set up villains okay I get it so now let me create my own scenario based on this well the manager came to me and asked you know Jorge we're going to send you to manage this new site that we acquire you know they have about 80 end-users so we're gonna give you an IP and you're gonna go and configure all of them the first thing that you're gonna do you're gonna configure that small network with port security based on our estándares policies and the billions that we're gonna basically give you to do okay they're gonna be seven billions and this is how they're gonna communicate from one to another all of it go and do that and then I go do that you see I'm creating my own story and I go paste and I know based on what this guy told me oh this is how your neighbor appealin oh this is how you create a pivot or this is how you basically change the native VLAN of the switch like no you do not learn anything you just basically copy kind of taste information you don't do that you create a stories that's the difference okay and I do that based on seven days all on I'm doing this so I don't do that hands-on without starting going too I do that separately okay now go through questions I do not go through questions to memorize questions I go through questions for me to study more that's exactly what I do I go through questions not for me to memorize questions for me to study more that's a way that you need to think of it because you memorizing questions will get you nowhere you're gonna have a ton of IT traffic Asians and you're gonna look really dumb want someone ask you something probably very basic that you cannot answer because people can tell if that's something that you just got out of the book or that's something that you probably have some concern and that you are fully I'm you fully understand basically that topic behind it people can tell okay and you memorizing the questions will get you nowhere they will you have a ton of people reaching out to you because you have maybe 3/4 certifications and that said no high paying job for you and you end up just like okay I'm just gonna get this entry-level position and I I didn't see it like there are many people like thousands probably thousands that work and an entry-level position and they have their CCNA certification like that drives me crazy that can tell that you do it you end up doing it completely wrong okay so the last thing I'm going to ask you to do is obviously for you to join network engineer Academy membership site so that I can teach you all of this obviously and more details but so far you know better than most people on how to go through and approach the process there are three ways right the wrong way the right way and that smart way so better use the smart way because that's how you're gonna end up getting that job that you want or probably for you getting the first job in 19 you have to go and being an thinking different and the process and how you approach and learn those topics that you have to learn okay so now go and do that take care and I will talk to you soon you [Applause] you
