Nearly everyone in the industry uses dumps. Its not ethical, but its a necessity especially when starting out. Once one has the fundamentals locked in, and with time accrues experience, the dumps become less necessary. Having said that, its vital to understand the basic concepts, and fundamental certs such as the CCNA and MCSE are very instructive because once you grasp the basics, moving on to other vendor equipment becomes a lot easier. So, to the guys asking:
-Master the fundamentals (you could self study, or attend classes). Try not to take shortcuts because it will definitely catch up with you at some point. CCNA is great for fundamentals.
-Choose a speciality
-Once there gain some experience. You could do so while studying for CCNA/JNCA
-Move on to more advanced courses. Professional level.
-Accumulate a lot of experience. A CCIE is no walk in the park.
But remember this: These certs are no longer as valuable as they once were, plus they are only valid for a couple of years.
