There is a reason Cisco certs are not considered "Paper Mill Certs" and tha=
t you have to recertify every few years to keep up with new equipment and t=
echnologies.
That is what our community DOESN'T need, Cisco certs that are looked upon l=
ike lot of the other manufacturer certification courses.
Do the CBTNuggets route and try a hands on exam and see how far it will get=
you.

GNS3 is completely insufficient for CCNP-level training and labs. You will =
need actual equipment. Fortunately, it has gotten a lot cheaper over the pa=
st few years and you don't need the latest and greatest. Check out Wendell =
Odom's website for tips.
Also we have a CBTNuggets account at my company and I was unimpressed with =
their Cisco coverage, but that may be a matter of taste.
Just my $0.02...as a CCNA working towards MY CCNP.
