CCIE Routing & Switching Open Lecture Series

Product Overview

Internetwork Expert’s CCIE Routing & Switching Open Lecture Series is an ongoing online course — keeping in line with our revolutionary CCIE RS 4.0 Program model — which provides candidates continuing live interaction with the industry’s most experienced CCIE authors and instructors. The dynamic format of this series ensures that candidates always have an outlet for getting their questions answered in real-time throughout the lifetime of their preparation.

Drop into Class Anytime

With the Open Lecture Series candidates can drop into any class session at any time to interact with our instructors in real-time. Two 1-to-2-hour sessions on average are scheduled periodically on pre-defined topics. This means that if your lab preparation takes 8 months, you could potentially attend over 100 days of class, as opposed to a traditional 5-day brick-and-mortar class. In addition to pre-defined topics on the schedule, additional open instructor hours are also included.

Open Instructor Hours

With open instructor hours candidates can join a session to discuss any topic of their choice, much like how a professor’s office hours work in a traditional university. This means that if you’re having trouble understanding Catalyst QoS, our instructors can walk you step-by-step through the topic — just ask!

Class-on-Demand Included

Best of all, any session that candidates want to go back and review, or were unable to attend, is immediately available in electronic Class-on-Demand format following the conclusion of a class session. These Class-on-Demand modules are available in a self-paced online format, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week!

Industry Leading Instructors

Open Lecture Series Class-on-Demand Edition

Internetwork Expert’s CCIE Routing & Switching Open Lecture Series — Class-on-Demand Edition — offers candidates the exact same content found in the Live Edition, but it is available in a self-paced online format, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week!

Added Flexibility

Although the Open Lecture Series is most beneficial in the Live Edition, which provides candidates continuing synchronous real-time communication with our instructors, the Class-on-Demand Edition is targeted towards candidates who are unable to attend the live sessions due to scheduling conflicts. Note that all Live Edition purchases automatically include the Class-on-Demand Edition as well.

Continuously Evolving Content

Unlike the other one-week or two-week Class-on-Demand offerings that we have, the Open Lecture Series Class-on-Demand is a continuously growing and evolving series. Two-to-three Live Edition sessions are scheduled per week on pre-defined topics, along with additional open instructor hours. All of these sessions are immediately available in Class-on-Demand format following the conclusion of the class session. This means that the Open Lecture Series has no upper limit on the amount of content that is included, and will grow to thousands of hours as the series progresses.

Short Targeted Sessions

Best of all, each of the sessions is indexed in detail, meaning that you can watch a 30 minute session on BGP Confederations or Legacy Frame Relay Traffic Shaping, without having to sort through other topics that are unnecessary for you.
