CCNA Training - Help Required

[rscosworth]

Guys,

I would like to do the Cisco CCNA training course.

I have considered doing a classroom type course at a local college or university but due to my current shift plan this would not be possible until much later in the year.

I have decided to have a bash at a home study course but im lost as to which providor to go with - if any.

Does anyone have any worthwhile links in the UK where i can purchase the required material or can reccomend me what to get?

I would also like to know the following;
* How long does the course take
* What equiptment should i purchase
* Where/How do i sit the test

I will no doubt think of other questions along the way but this should do for now.

Thanks
