In the meantime, just scroll down to see the latest videos we've posted, and visit our Cisco certification tutorial page as well as our YouTube Cisco Certification Video Training channel!

It's been said that good things come to those who wait.

The wait is almost over.

Launching in December 2009 - Our CCNA / CCNP On-Demand Mastermind Webinar and Cisco Success Coaching service.

(Quite a mouthful, right?)

Thanks to a nasty little flu bug (thankfully, not THAT flu bug!) that pretty much knocked a few of us off our feet, it's going to be just a few more weeks until this new site launches.

Now, I'm not the most patient person in the world myself. I know how many of you are waiting for the CCNA Mastermind Webinar to go to On-Demand format.

So I'd be tapping my foot impatiently, just as you are right now.

I'm also my own harshest critic. No matter how good something is, I always think it can be better.

But frankly - even I'm having a hard time figuring out how we can make this better:

Over 100 free Cisco certification videos on every topic from STP to OSPF.

Literally, this new site will offer over 10 hours of free Video Practice Exams, tutorials, and success tips for earning your CCNA and CCNP - and then making the most of your certifications in creating your personal and professional future.

My 25+ Hour CCNA Mastermind Webinar presented in On-Demand format, so you can watch this world-famous, highly-effective CCNA Webinar on your schedule, when you're ready... all with high-quality video and sound, with CCNP Webinars to follow in 2010.

Personal CCNA and CCNP Success Coaching from The Computer Certification Bulldog, Chris Bryant, CCIE #12933.

Four LIVE CCNA and CCNP training sessions every single month, all taught by yours truly, along with LIVE chats and study support.   I'll run these live sessions at different times every Tuesday, so no matter where you are in the world, you'll have the opportunity to attend a live session.

(You will never see "Instructor X" teaching any of my courses. I teach them all, 100% of the time.)

Every month, one lucky student will win a free online hour of LIVE training from me .. a $200 value!   And the winner gets to pick the topic!

And at a cost that makes world-class Cisco certification training available to everyone.
I'd have to say that's worth just one more slight delay.

So while many of you enjoy a little time off the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday, we'll be plugging away at creating this exciting new CCNA and CCNP training opportunity - and in the first half of December, Bulldog Blog readers will have the first chance to sign up.

In the meantime, scroll down in the blog for plenty of free Cisco tutorials and training videos... and be ready to seize this opportunity.

Questions, comments, or suggestions?   Just email me at chris@thebryantadvantage.com ... and I'll see you at the Mastermind Webinar.

Hiya Bulldogs!

Here's a brand-new Cisco CCNA / CCNP Video Practice Exam for you!

As you'll see, this video involves route redistribution, but since there's a 10-minute time limit on videos to be posted on YouTube, I had to preconfigure the route redistribution.

For those of you who want / need to learn more about this sometimes tricky subject, I've posted a three-part series on route redistribution that I created earlier this year.

I strongly recommend you watch the entire three-part series.... and see just why one YouTube reviewer said the series is "better than any book trying to show this!"

You'll see no such configuration in my On-Demand CCNA And CCNP Webinar service, which launches in just a few short weeks - along with 100 free videos on this incredible new site!

More details to come right here in the Bulldog Blog very soon.

And I mean VERY soon.

Enjoy all of these videos, and I'll see you later today with a new set of Cisco practice exam questions!

2009-11-13T08:50:00.000-05:00

Happy Friday the 13th, Bulldogs! :)

Before we get to today's free CCNA and CCNP certification training videos, I want to thank all of you for helping us hit milestones on two of the Internet's biggest video and article sharing sites!

We just passed the 500,000-view mark on our Cisco tutorials on EzineArticles.com:

And our YouTube Cisco Certification Video Training channel now has over 1100 subscribers and 225,000 views (and that's just on YouTube - our videos are on dozens of video sharing sites and blogs!)

While the ezinearticles site is great, it has one limitation - I can't post images with my tutorials there. For that reason, I suggest you visit our Cisco certification tutorial page over on the main Bryant Advantage website.

2009's been a big year for The Bryant Advantage - and we're not done yet! Our long-awaited On-Demand Certification Webinar site opens in just a few weeks, and you'll be able to watch over 100 free Cisco certification videos - and my famous CCNA Mastermind Webinar will also be available in On-Demand format!

That Webinar service will also include LIVE online training sessions with yours truly, as well as personal mentoring - it's a truly interactive study experience that allows you to attend Webinar sessions on YOUR schedule.

There's one thing it won't do, though - cost you thousands of dollars. :)

More details on this exclusive service very soon - and in 2010, this On-Demand service will expand to offer you CCNP and Server 2008 certification Webinars in this exclusive new format!

Thanks to every single one of you for visiting these sites and supporting The Bryant Advantage. We wouldn't be here without you - and 2010 will be the best year yet for both TBA and for you!

Now scroll down in the blog and check out the latest two Cisco certification videos - now available in HD! I'll have two more for you later today!

Hiya Bulldogs!

Yours truly just about has his voice back, so I'll have at least two new Cisco certification training videos for you today - and you'll be able to easily access all 100+ of our free CCNA and CCNP videos when our new On-Demand Webinar site launches later this month!

And thanks to the literally hundreds of you who sent "get well" emails - I actually feel great, but as those of you who attended yesterday afternoon's free CCNA EtherChannel Webinar can attest to, I certainly sounded rough!

Anyhoo, the voice seems to be just fine, so I'll catch up on the videos I owe you Bulldogs later today!

In the meantime, just scroll down and enjoy the newly refreshed Cisco tutorials and articles, which all now include video content - and I'll see you later today with those new videos and a new set of Cisco practice exam questions, too!
