Got my CCNA!

I finally finished studying, passed the test on December 3rd and got my certification. I got this cool badge two days later that verifies that you have the certification.
My Acclaim CCNA Badge

For learning my way through ICND 1 & 2. I used David Bombal’s Udemy Course, CBT Nuggets, Physical Hardware Lab, and multiple colleagues that assisted me along the way. I also used the “CCNA in 60 Days” Book and Practice Tests, but I only really recommend them as supplementary content.

I am so glad to finally be done. In the future I’ll probably study the new CCNA topics since they drastically changed it.

Edit: I decided to update this post with some of the diagrams that I drew up for my notes while studying.
