3.0 out of 5 stars CCNP, July 6, 2001

This review is from: CCNP Complete Virtual Trainer (CD-ROM)

Hi,

This study guide is OK, but my impression is that you can not pass the test with this alone. There is lots of errors in the study material and review-tests, especially I found the "Dial" chapter could be much better. The review tests are much more simple than the "real" test, but you can still learn your weak areas and study them further. If you are studying for CCNP and like "e-learning" this is a good supplement.

5.0 out of 5 stars The video clips are excellent, September 18, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: CCNP Complete Virtual Trainer (CD-ROM)

This is a great kit nothing else on the market offers as much as this does for the money. The Video clips through out the four courses makes understanding concepts easy without spending thousands of dollars at a school. Dont get me wrong nothing beats hands on practice at a school but if you dont have the time and money this kit is for you. Add the CCNP Virtual Lab to help you gain hands-on understanding. I highly recommened this kit and the CCNP Virtual Lab.

1.0 out of 5 stars Same ol' Todd Lammle, July 24, 2001

This review is from: CCNP Complete Virtual Trainer (CD-ROM)

I know my subject line sounds harsh but after being burned by the CCNA eTrainer I loss all faith in Todd Lammle's eTrainer material. My biggest gripe is that I rushed out on release day to pick up the (price) CCNA eTrainer only to find it riddled with bugs. I continued to check (website)hoping to find some sort of patch or addon that would fix the bugs and restore COMPLETE functionality but none was found! This is a clear case of a (...) company failing to care about customer service. If I noticed bug I am sure Sybex's quality control department saw them also but they failed to correct them because at the time there was a rush to get any sort of eTrainer material to market. That probably explain why they flew off the shelf so quickly. Despite my displeasure with the eTrainer I prefer his books over Global Knowledge, McGraw Hill etc.... I would like to see Sybex take responsibility for duping thousands of customers out of their hard earned money!!!!!

This product gets 1 star for its track record. I didn't see anythng below 1 star.
