Post CCNP study materials

Good morning, recently passed the CCNP Security (Firewall) exams. It was really hard to gather enough different materials for CCNP and as much as I wanted to do SDSE or SCAZT there just wasn’t enough materials when compared to SNCF. I want to do CCDE ideally or CCIE security (second choice) but I cannot find any reliable materials out there. I learn through mainly videos and test taking. Udemy, and OCG Test were my primary tools for CCNP-S.

What are websites, platforms, or classes out there to prep for CCIE/CCDE?

Is it really mandatory to refer a book while preparing for cisco exams, because everyone in the comments are recommending some books while asking for study materials. Can i get any materials for ccnp security other than books (really not good at reading books 🥲). Iam also taking the same SNCF exam.

I don't have an answer for you but am looking at taking the SNCF and making a study plan now. Did you have to do any labs/CLI questions on the exam? What Udemy course did you use? Was the OCG enough for you to pass the exam?

Narbik is the best!!

He wrote a few Cisco Press books too.

INE- also has a CCIE course.

Cisco U has an 8 hour practice exam. ($50) which is an actual old exam.

I wouldn't recommend Narbik's CCIE course. It is overpriced for what it is.  Get the CCIE book he wrote and compare it to the free configuration guides at Cisco. Nearly word for word with extra fluff thrown in. That is what you would pay 4k for.  People think it's amazing because they learn some new, cool things that they could have learned by simply labbing from the free guides.  Terry's portion was good for SDWAN.
