Join How to Network

Anybody can pass their Cisco Exams and have a successful IT career...if they know how...

 

To IT people who want to learn real world Cisco networking techniques, quickly and easily pass exams with a 96% success rate and have a successful career as a Cisco expert....

 

My name is Paul Browning and I am the CEO of Reality Press, the company behind HowToNetwork.Net. I worked as a police officer in the UK for 12 years before making a career change into IT. Passing the Cisco CCNA was what did it for me because with that qualification, even though I had no experience, employers could see that I was motivated.

When I started out in my studies I bought every Cisco book out there. They all confused me with useless jargon and nothing I learned was applied to the real world of Cisco networking. I somehow landed a job with the Cisco tech support department in the UK and then really learned how to install and maintain Cisco networks.

To tell you the truth, I am a very slow learner and I have to have things explained to me in very simple language and a few times over before they start to sink in.


While others at Cisco were flying through exams every few weeks it took me a long time to study for and pass my CCNP. I tell you that because if I can pass my Cisco exams then I can say with confidence that anyone can!

Most of what I learned at Cisco I have never read in any books! It was as if the authors of every Cisco book presumed the readers were already a Cisco engineer and didn't need to know the basics or how to actually apply what you learn to a live network.

Cisco made my entire team redundant in 2002 but while I was there I had started to do some freelance teaching and I had written the first draft of 'CCNA Simplified - Your Complete Guide to Passing the CCNA' which many say is the best CCNA book they have ever read.

To tell the truth, if you had told me in 2001 that I would have been writing my own Cisco manual and selling it all over the world I would have laughed.

In order to teach Cisco courses I had to go over the material again and again and then work on the equipment in the labs long after everyone else had gone home. The good news is that when I came to write about Cisco networking I could do it in a way which pretty much anyone can understand, even a complete novice. I don't even presume you have even seen a router before.

How the Site Started

Many students began writing to me saying that they needed a really easy to understand resource with lots of videos, labs with walk throughs and somebody on hand to ask if they were stuck or just needed some advice.

Armed with that information I began work on howtonetwork.net and a year later it was ready to launch. The site has helped a large number of people just like you to pass their Cisco exams and make a success of their IT careers. CCNP and security modules have all been added during 2010 as well as voice.

The Real Cost of Cisco Training

Cisco training is big business and over the past few years several companies have sprung up offering you all sorts of products and services. You can throw your money away on a classroom course, buy a video course, waste your hard earned cash on practice exams (with no support if you get stuck). You can buy books, flash cards or sign up to an expensive correspondence course but you will usually be left high and dry if you have any questions.

Here is what you can expect to pay compared to membership to howtonetwork.net

  Study Costs for a typical Cisco Course   HowtoNetwork
Study guides and manuals - $97 and upwards Included online
Home rack - $800 upwards Live rack access FREE
Router Simulators - $200 upwards LIVE equipment FREE
Training Videos e.g CBT Nuggets - $399  FREE
Practice Exam e.g Boson - $149 each!! Over 50exams FREE
Flash Study Cards - from $50 All decks FREE
  TOTAL = $1300 upwards!!   Only $29.97 per month

What's more - with web based training, the notes and materials can be updated in a few hours. Once you buy books or software, it is usually out of date a few months later when Cisco change their exam emphasis or bank of questions.

The typical howtonetwork.net student takes 3 months to pass your Cisco CCNA. When you pass you can choose to stick around for your CCNP or any of the other speciality exams we feature such as Voice, Security or even leave the site altogether owing nothing.
