Hi Bulldogs! Just a quick note to let you know that we'll be releasing information about our upcoming CCNP 2010 offerings starting Monday, including a video look at each of the new exams - Route, Switch, and Troubleshoot.   (I refuse to cap every letter of those.) We're going to offer our new CCNP material in several new formats - including hard copies, Kindle versions, Sony Ebook versions, streaming video courses, *and* our brand-new line of Bulldog Boot Camp CBTs! Hmm. Guess I just released a little of that information early! But be here Monday anyway.  I'll make it worth your while! In the meantime, you've got more than enough time to take the current exams!   Here's a video that tells you everything you need to know regarding the current and upcoming CCNP tracks, including which exams to take NOW: CCNP July 2010 Changes And just click the banners below for more information on our CCNP Guaranteed Pass promotion - you do NOT want to miss this.

"Value Added" is my favorite phrase. After you read this, it'll be yours.   Like many of you, I was relaxing and enjoying the NCAA basketball tourney this weekend with a group of friends. These friends all run their own businesses, as I do, and inevitably the conversation turns to giving our customers more value for their money. When I discussed the popularity of my CCNA Mastermind On-Demand Webinar, and how I was looking forward to the CCNP On-Demand material coming out this summer (along with Kindle and Sony Ebook versions), they agreed that it was a good value. Not as good as it could be, though, according to one of them. Naturally I took the high road and got offended.  I founded The Bryant Advantage on the simple rule of giving all of you Bulldogs as much clear and concise information as I can - and charging a more-than-reasonable price. We've been here for almost five years, and getting bigger and better all the time - so I'd say we've r

Add 30 Points Or More To Your CCNA Or CCNP Score - In Three Minutes! Here's an exclusive Three-Minute Tutorial on the VLAN.DAT file - and even if you think you know all about the importance of this file and how to manipulate it, spend 3 minutes and watch it anyway.    It'll be worth your while. :) And if you don't know about this file, this will be a truly valuable three minutes!  Let's get started! BTW, in some browsers the video embedded in the blog may be cut off slightly on the right-hand side.   If that's the case, just double-click the video to watch it from our YouTube Cisco Certification Video Channel, or just follow this link: CCNA / CCNP Training Video:  VLAN.DAT File Enjoy!

First, thanks for helping us hit yet another YouTube milestone - we just passed the 350,000-view mark on our YouTube Cisco Certification Channel , and we're closing in on 1700 subscribers! Later today, I'm starting a unique series of videos that I'm sure you'll enjoy - in this series we'll be hitting one particular point, gotcha, or detail for three minutes.   I know you're busy and it's good to have some shorter videos to watch when you only have a few minutes, so we're going to start creating some of those for you today - and I'll post the first one right here on the Bulldog Blog. Now I have a favor to ask. I have a lot of good ideas - but I can't have all of them. I want to know what you'd like to see on our Cisco Certification Video Channel. It's no secret that we're launching a new site in May to bring you even more powerf
