Hi, You will succeed through self-study; I am now a CCDP through self-study and it has taken me some time :)
I would say that those 5-day courses are far too expensive, especially now that you have the equipment. Unless you are in hurry to get the CCNP; if you are not, just study one chapter per day. This is possible (one chapter per day), though for routing (BSCI), it may take longer if you are completely new to those routing protocols. Honestly, there is no need to spend all the money on those 5-day courses, according to me. I do not have any experience with networking and I have steadily studied until I am now a CCDP, sucessfully doing 6 exams, though I had to do Cisco Internetwork Design (CID 640-025) twice. Also, when you buy your own materials, they remain with you after the tests. Okay, self-study may be the hard way to acquire the knowledge, but by the time you are ready for a test, you really feel you have got the knowledge....this is the important thing to me. Good Luck.
