I have just passed my CCIE R&S in Brussels today from my first attempt and I would like to thank you for your fantastic products. My special thanks would be to Brian Dennis and Brian McGahan. Guys you are legend! Keep up good work.
I have been using your workbook labs (volume I,II,III) during my preparation for the last 6 months and here we go - success! I will be continuing using your products for other CCIE tracks.

Introduction
Volume I - Advanced Technology Labs is the hands on practice companion to the Advanced Technologies Class, and is the first step in CCIE lab preparation. Each lab is designed to walk you through the technology, and provide in depth explanations of the necessary configurations.
CCIE R&S Lab Workbook Volume I consists of nearly 600 (six hundred!) hands-on individually focused advanced technology labs that present topics in an easy to follow, goal-oriented step-by-step approach. Every scenario features detailed breakdowns and thorough verifications to assist you in getting 100% understanding of the particular technology. By isolating each topic on its own you are able to see, firsthand, the various ways to configure each technology. By understanding these fundamental technologies, you will then be able to predict advanced and sometimes subtle interactions when configuring multiple technologies together.
Update Policy
New labs are continuously added as part of our CCIE RS 4.0 approach to our products. All material is kept up to date, and is always updated with additional material to ensure you have every resource available to you. These labs explore each of the fundamental technologies covered in the CCIE R&S Lab exam. Each of these new labs will be made available electronically and free of charge to customers who have purchased previous versions of Lab Workbook Volume I. This method ensures that the material covered in this Lab Workbook is as up-to-date as possible with the current CCIE R&S Lab exam specification.
Authors
The workbook has been designed and supported by a team of highly-skilled and industry recognized CCIE instructors, each having many years of in-production and training experience. In short, our instructor names speak for themselves!

expert products (Vol1 and Vol2) helped me a lot in getting it on my
first attempt. Volume 5 is an excellent product eventhough only a
part of it was available during January-2009.
I have been using Volume I & II workbooks extensively while preparing for the lab and I have been reading all the posts on your blog.
I also had the opportunity to use volume I version 5.0 beta workbook and I must say it is an impressive source of knowledge in R&S field that can even be used as a quick reference for daily work.
Thanks a lot to the IE team!
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.
8 months using your workbooks (Volume I, II & III) and indeed these are great stuff to help you prepare for the real lab. All the content are excellent from the 4 hours lab focused on developing your speed and accuracy at the Core technologies to the 8 hours full lab on which I had identified my weaknesses. CCIE was a great journey and I am looking forward on getting another one (SP) using again your materials. Thanks and more power to the IE team!
5th. So thanks to INE and the online community for the help and
material. I started my Lab studies this year at the beginning of Feb
2009 (after passing the written in December) and took 5 weeks leave
from work just before the lab (was only doing 15 hours per week
before this).
With regards to the Lab I pretty much followed the Blueprint and then
used workbook 2 V4 the dynamips version and workbook 3 with the rack
rentals. Also a few mock exams one of which I did well on, the other
2 I tanked (although the rack session did die for 2 hours on one).
I have pretty much been doing labs on weekends and then doing more
technology focussed study on evenings since then.
In the last 5 weeks I did 3 mock exams and maybe 6 or 7 workbook labs
and the last 2 weeks I was mostly reading. I read Doyle RS vol 1 and 2
the cert guide and various missing pieces from the online docs. I
can honestly say for me most of the open ended questions were very
straighforward if you know your stuff, really for me the reading
didn't really add to the OEQ's (but please read), it did however add
to my confidence and strengthen my configuration skills and speed.
Ps... I also did the cisco ccie assessor labs 2 (these are worthwile
as they do give you a good insight into what you are trying to achieve
and the cisco wording).
I have read allot of blogs about doing multiple workbooks and labs
however I would say you need a well balanced approach based around
theory and labbing. I did not hammer the labs at all and I would say
the last 2 weeks I have probably done less than 20 hours of labbing
and spent the rest of the time reading.
With regards to the Lab I must have slept about 3 hours before and I
really struggled when I got in. The battle is more against yourself
rather than the lab itself.
One thing I don't want to miss is context, i have had about 12 years
experience in networking.
Thanks again everyone..
Just wanted to tell you that I passed my CCIE R&S lab on 26th August at Brussels. Your Internetwork Expert Workbook vol 1 and 2 products were the foundation of all my lab preparations and I really don't think I would have passed without them.
Happy to let you know that I passed my CCIE R&S lab yesterday at Bangalore.
I had used your COD, R&Sv4.1's Vol I, II , III and Blog, extensively. The content is excellent and very reasonably priced. Thanks for upholding such quality, consistently.
I have no difficulty recommending your material, or using it for my future studies.
The Lab Workbooks helped me understand and learn new subjects and overall I could not have done it without them. Thank you.
I have passed my CCIE R&S exam in Brussels on my first attempt.I can say that your products were my best friends during my study.I am very happy and excited.You are growing true Internetwork Experts. I used your Advanced Technologies Class on Demandm ,Workbook Vol1,Vol2,Vol3,Rack Rentals,Bootcamp Class on Demand,a nd every Mock Labs.
Every CCIE candidate should buy these products.My CCIE level about %20 before I used your products.At the end of the Mock Labs My level was %90,and I knew that I was going to pass.I learned lots of things from Advanced Technologies Class.Not only for the exam but also for the real world .It was a wonderful journey took about 2 years for me.Of course I am going to choose IE again in my SP
track.
Many many thanks to every team ,but especially to Brian Dennis and
Brian McGahan for great teaching.
I have been using your workbook labs (volume I,II,III) during my preparation for the last 6 months and here we go - success! I will be continuing using your products for other CCIE tracks.
I did my written exam in July 2007 but i had to take a break to study for a linux certification so i didn't start studying for my CCIE labs until 2008 January.
My first four months of studies were with IE COD and IE volume 1, Then i attended boot camp in Dubai which was a real eye opener for me.Started work with the workbooks and for my full labs i used IE vol 2.
I will like to use this opportunity to thank all those who have been helpful to me in my journey my class mates in Narbik bootcamp (Sadki, Pitt, Vignesh, Femi, Dawood, george, Badal, yap, dapasina) , I want to thank narbik for the wonderfull bootcamp and support. Thank all u guys that have been answering my questions in GS Scott moris, the other Scott,Jared, e.t.c u guys are the best. To my study partners in Nigeria,i wish u all the best especially with the mobile center comming up soon in Lagos Nigeria.U guys will come good.
This are the list of materials i Used:
1.Narbiks Soup and Nuts.
2.Narbiks Advanced Routing and Switching Workbook.(5 volumes)
3.IE COD.
4.IE vol 1
5.IE vol 2.
6.Scotts Moris audio lectures.Hope there is one for SP.
As for the open ended question, I don't think u need to prepare any differently. It's just a way of checking your level of prep .Easy questions really but watch the wordings though may also want to know that you are only allowed to fail a maximum of one.
I will have to hibernate now for a month. Can't wait to start reading something else.SP.
and R&S Mock Labs to check if I am ready on not.
I am very pleased to let you know that I finally passed my CCIE R&S exam in Sydney on December 18, 2008.
I have been using your R&S Lab Workbook Volume II & III extensively in my preparations and purchased four of your Mock Labs. All of your products I have been using are of excellent quality and have proven to be instrumental in obtaining my CCIE certification!
So, once again a BIG
Thank You to the IE team!
