The CCDA is only one more exam and gets you another certification. I'm sure it's possible to pass the CCNP without access to lab equipment, but you'd be doing yourself a huge disservice by attempting it. If you want to go after the CCNP exams, consider looking for a CCNP Network Academy site in your area. You'll almost always end up paying less then you would for a CCNP bootcamp, and since most CCNP academies are community colleges, you may be able to swing financial aid as well. There's an academy locator at http://cisco.netacad.net.

[7:36215] Hi I got through my CCNA yesterday and I am looking forward to taking other certifications. I had the CCDA and CCNP in mind. I am not sure though which one to take. Also, if there is a Cisco certification that deals with Security, I would like to do that. Another factor is that, I do not have the money to pay for any courses and so this is going to be self study. Woudl anyone recommend doing CCNP or any higher security certification without a course or access to a lab.. BTW has anyone taken the SSCP and if so what books did u use.. Please advice.
