CCIE Rack Rentals - Powered by GradedLabs

Overview

Through our partnership with GradedLabs.com Internetwork Expert now offers simplified scheduling and advanced management control of CCIE Routing & Switching, CCIE Voice, CCIE Security, and CCIE Service Provider Rack Rentals that support all of our Self-Paced and Instructor-Led product lines.

Simplified Scheduling

Through the enhanced GradedLabs.com Rack Rental Scheduler you can now purchase “tokens” that can be redeemed for rack rentals or graded mock lab exams for all available CCIE tracks. As CCIE Routing & Switching, CCIE Voice, CCIE Security, and CCIE Service Provider Rack Rental sessions or Mock Labs are scheduled tokens are simply deducted from your account. Furthermore all scheduled Rack Rentals or Mock Labs can be rescheduled or canceled on your own 3 or more days prior to that session and tokens will be automatically credited back to your account. This system will allow you much more flexibility to schedule your own rack sessions while looking at a real-time inventory of our available racks.

Additionally this system allows you to book rack sessions that are currently in progress for a discounted rate. With this feature you can get immediate access to the study resources that you need 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

If you would like to watch a brief tutorial about scheduling rack sessions using our new token system please watch the "Using the GradedLabs.com Rack Scheduling System" instructional video.

For information on how to access the rack after you have purchased a session please view our "Accessing the Racks" tutorial.
