Hi everyone,

I’m currently preparing for the CCNP certification and wanted to start a discussion on the best ways to study and practice effectively. The CCNP is a challenging certification that requires a solid understanding of networking concepts, hands-on experience, and the ability to troubleshoot complex scenarios.

For those who have passed or are also studying, what resources do you find most helpful? Are you using official Cisco materials, third-party courses, or lab simulations? How do you approach balancing theory with practical experience, especially for topics like routing, switching, and automation?

Additionally, how do you tackle the exam labs? Any strategies for managing time effectively and troubleshooting under pressure?

Let’s share our experiences, study methods, and tips to help each other succeed! Looking forward to your insights.
