no training is required by cisco to try and pass any exam. you can try
the same exam many and many times, without any restriction.
the question is "what's your goal?".

do you just want to put it on your CV? you just need to know the student
guide ... 
instead, if you want to be a "cisco expert", buy some old and used
router and switch and work, work, work, try, test and work on them.

A certification without any competence is completely useless, from my
point of view.
