Hi there,
With so many different types of training out there, such as books,
instructor-led classes, sample tests and videos, which one is right for you?
Books seem to be the cheapest option, but they could be very expensive in terms
of time and also they can be hard to follow unless you give enormous time to
summaries and make notes. Instructor-led classes are a good option and are
easy-to-follow, but they can be very expensive and you can be left behind if you
don't follow homework and projects.

Training videos are a good option but you need to use them with sample tests. It
is hard to learn only with practice exam sample tests. They normally determine
if you know the material or not, are you ready for the actual exam, and are
better used to test the knowledge you have than for actually learning.

Which all leads to the method of preparation, whichever method you choose books,
instructor-led or training videos, just clear in your mind that each one of them
are enough to get you pass. So once you have this clear this in your mind, then
how you prepare with them is the key to success. With official guidance book how
you summaries the content into manageable units, with instructor-led training
and videos how you follow the steps which suits your learning style is the key
to success.

Some students have this misconception that if they just buy the books or take
admission or get training videos and buy practice exams tests then they will get
them pass. All the books and material in the world cant get you pass unless you
are ready to give time for preparation. It is very difficult to find time for it
unless you say goodbye to TV and ready to spend time especially evenings and
weekends just for your certification preparation.

You get ready to pass the certification exams the moment you say goodbye to TV
for weeks, spend time especially weekends and money on books, training videos
and practice exam tests and make a simple schedule and stick to it.

After going through books or instructor-led training or video you need to
practice again and again the sample tests questions and answers. They will
determine if you know the material or not, are you ready to pass or not.
