The ESSENTIAL solution for lab candidates!
Overview
CCIE Routing & Switching Advanced Technologies Class is the first step in understanding CCIE level technologies and is a companion to the Advanced Technologies Lab Workbook. Each technology you need to know for the CCIE Routing & Switching lab will be described in detail using an instructor led hands on demonstration. The class consists of nearly 80 hours of in depth explanations and examples.
At your convenience, join our highly certified team of CCIE instructors for a comprehensive look at lab exam blueprint topics. The CCIE Routing & Switching Advanced Technologies Class is presented on-screen using a sequence of slides, lectures, explanations, diagrams, and live command-line viewing. This 80+ hour class is presented in an easy to follow format and allows you to choose from a variety of convenient study methods.
Learning Outcomes
The extreme level of detail covered by this course will provide you with a firm foundation in the CCIE lab blueprint topics and prepare you for practicing full-scale lab exams in our R&S Lab Workbooks.
Recommended Background
Because introductory material is not covered, candidates for this class should already have a CCNP or equivalent level-of-knowledge. This class will also benefit CCIE candidates who have attempted the actual CCIE Lab Exam without passing and feel they need to take their knowledge and understanding of such crucial topics as IGP Redistribution, BGP, IPv6, and QoS to the next level before attempting the CCIE Lab again.

80 Hours of Technology Instruction in a Two-Week Format
Week One
View technologies in week one
Week one of class includes 40+ hours of hands-on lecture on core CCIE Routing & Switching topics, and is spent exposing the fundamental principles behind the technologies covered in the CCIE R&S Lab Exam. This week is designed to provide you with foundational technical understanding, not to supply candidates with tips and tricks to pass your Lab Exam. The key to passing the CCIE Lab Exam is to fully understand how to configure, verify, and troubleshoot the technologies covered in this week in a structured manner. Attempting the CCIE Lab without a full and in-depth understanding of these technologies leaves the candidate with little to no real chance of passing the exam, as these technologies are the building blocks of the actual CCIE Lab Exam.

What Your Peers Are Saying...
When it comes to the quality, our products are second to none. The success of our students is the best proof of our leadership in the industry. See for yourself!
Amr Sabbagh - CCIE #21536
Many thanks for putting out those great products of yours as they really helped me with my training.
Workbooks and Class on Demand to help me learn and prepare for the real thing and mock labs to test my progress.
And making Workbook II for use on Dynamips really helped keep the cost down.
Many thanks to all at Internetwork Expert for their great work.
Initially I've bought only the COD. Couple of months later I have made the final four in the "Real people scholarship program" and I've got the End-to-End R&S course as a price for reaching the final.
After the COD I started on the unbelievable Workbooks 1 and then 2.
Most of the scenarios I did in Dynamips and on real equipment that I had from my work place. I could see the difference in self confidence after only 5 WB2 labs. I did my first attempt after 12 WB labs and I was short +\- 6,7 points. For my second attempt I did the whole 20 labs and guess what - I PASSED!!!
I truly believe that IEs are the best learning tool there is on the market today. I felt from the beginning that they're teaching me the technology in depth instead of teaching the tricks and cheats of the exam.
Thanks for everything Brians(X2), Petr, Anthony and Scott (the evil dude).
I have passed my CCIE R&S exam yesterday in DUBAI
Thanks very much for the excellent material (COD/workbooks)
You are the best
Internetwork Expert is the way to pass CCIE lab by strong understanding of technology and ability to configure, verify and troubleshoot them.
Thanks again.
I wanted to share that I passed the R&S lab last July 21. It was an achievement which I could only dream of obtaining if not for without your products. Throughout my preparation for the R&S lab, I had to rely heavily on Internetwork Expert's Workbooks and Class-on-Demand -- the quality of these products are EXCELLENT! And I can't wait to start using your products again when I go for my second CCIE.
Keep up the great work!
I'm very happy about my investment on Internetwork Expert. I used the self-paced program. I watch the COD 2 times. also I was very lucky, 3 days before my exam the VOL1 Ver 5 for IP services and system management released. its a real GEM and is a MUST.
The other special unique specification of Internetwork Expert is its people. the people whom take care of students, especially Mr Anthony who helped me a lot.
Internetwork expert was recommended to me by a friend and I recommend to everyone who would like to get it in the first attempt.
I want to inform you that I've passed the R&S lab exam on friday 6 feb on my first attempt.
I used IE Volume 1, Volume 2, Mock labs, Poly labs, Rack rentals and dynamips.
I started to prepare for the lab on January 2007 and 3 weeks before my lab I prepared 12-13 hours/day( doing labs, reading doccd and watching video materials at home without any pressure or disturbance).
I considered the lab at a rate of 7.5- 8 comparing with the difficulty of the IE Labs.
2 of the Open Ended questions was not so easy and made me think verry carefully about what they want from me and the other 2 questions were verry easy if you know the staff.
The diagrams from IE are very nice comparing with the diagrams from lab and I make my own diagram with colours/pencils.
I finished the lab in 5 hours and 30 minutes and I had enogh time to recheck all tasks twice and I found two faults and I corrected them.
I want to say that IE COD materials were great and helped me a lot(I watched 4-5 times all materials) .
I've done VOL2 1-20 labs 3 times (2 times using dynamips and one time using IE Rack Rentals) ,Mock Labs 1-7 -2 times (the average score was between 80-90 %) and Vol1.v5 1 time using dynamips and read it 2 more times.
I used also Open Lecture series (Video Materials) -watched them one time.
I could't made it for the first time without IE materials.
I passed my R&S Lab in Brussels on Friday 25th April on my 2nd attempt.
Your Lab Workbook is excellent and really covers all technologies. I also found the Advanced Technologies Class and R&S Class-on-Demand excellent resources when starting out on the long lab journey.
I used IE's product for open ended question and gone through the document links to find detail about each question that not only helped me in understanding the question but also improved my theoretical knowledge. For open ended questions; I will recommend Anthony Sequeira's book (CCIE quick reference guide)
I am thankful to Brian Dennis/McGahan, Scott Morris, Petr and Anthony for being my teachers in this journey.
I am dedicating my CCIE number to my Country (Pakistan) and to my parents- the balance in my life.
I used your class-on-demand and bought time on your racks. Your COD's allowed me to start on my preparations for the lab after passing the written. I thank Brian Dennis and Brian McGahan for their straight forward approach to teaching with the show outputs being very key. Your workbooks allowed me to know all the possibilities and ways to achieve a result the Cisco way. Your outline on Dynamips allowed me to simulate different scenarios that I didn't understand so I could master them. Your blogs are excellent. Keep up the good work. Thanks Guys
