[Skunkworks] CISCO Advice

Hi guys. I am a newbie in the IT field taking a 4 week CCNA course at New Horizon. I am looking for some supplementary Cisco materials. Any recommendations? Secondly, has anyone done the 604 - 802 exam? How would you compare it to the alternative of sitting for two papers, ICND 1 and ICND 2? Does the splitting make them easier? Finally, does anyone know of any Kenyan CCIE? Better still are they on skunkworks?
