Hello,
Today, I finally passed the R&S v4 exam in San Jose. I'd like to thank the instructors at Internetwork Expert for their excellent workbooks and classes. I'd also like to thank all of the other candidates for posting their encouraging stories and technical advice. I couldn't have done it without you folks. I'd also like to thank my family, coworkers, and friends for putting up with me while I pursued this. This was my fourth attempt and my third version 4 attempt.
Here is a brief synopsis of my experience and strategy.
For my preparation, I spent a year and half working on the CCIE InternetworkExpert Self Paced packaged. In the beginning I used dynamips and rack rentals, but I eventually built a lab with a coworker using 1841 routers and 3750 switches. I would plug away working on the lab exercises in my spare time. I'd put in 15-20 hours a week in my lab. I worked through the volume 1 and 2 labs several times. I also enjoyed all of the audio and video products. The core knowledge simulation was great too. CiscoPress books, the DOC Website, and the RFCs all were useful. Also, don't forget to check your libraries. Most of the CiscoPress books I read, I found at my library. Save some of your cash and visit your library. Finally, don't give up. We all know it sucks to fail, but I swear if you keep at it and don't give up you will pass.
Good luck to you guys!

Finally... I passed the CCIE Security exam. 3rd time's a charm ;) What a journey this has been. I have been dreaming about CCIE since 2001, but began serious study in June 2007. A year later, I passed the written and finally yesterday (3/9) on my 3rd try I passed the lab. My first attempt was v2 and I just barely failed and I wasn't able to schedule another attempt before the v3 change so I put study on hold for a couple months, then began to learn the v3 things, which was really more than I was expecting. I of course at that time wanted to be done and pass, but, deep down I was ok with it because I really enjoy learning these technologies and the v3 change forced me to master them, which is a very good thing for the real world because I use these technologies daily now at work. Almost a year later I attempted again and thought for sure I passed, but ended up failing both OEQ and the lab! I was totally shocked on the lab part because I was able to complete all the tasks, however, functionality is only half the battle, technicalities is the other half and I learned that lesson the hard way. I knew this all along, but, with the stresses of the lab on full force I was more concerned with functionality. "Its working! Next task!" No good.. So, my motto for the 3rd attempt was to stay calm, and read into the task looking for these technicalities. Measure twice cut once attitude. I finished with 2 hours left, ran through the lab 2 more times, rebooting the rack, all was well so I left. Leaving the lab, I was more concerned with OEQ rather than the configuration portion, very similar to my 2nd attempt. I seem to instantly know the answer to 2 of the 4, and am forced to make educated guesses on the other 2. I don't know if this is just me, or if other people are having this experience, but it is quite a feeling to have $1400 on the line and your pass/fail coming down to "did I get at least 3 right???" Boy am I glad this is over hehe, for now.
I have an amazing family and awesome friends, all who supported me as I went through this process. My wife and kids especially felt the pain. As I spent my 20+ hours a week in my office on top of my normal work schedule I missed a lot of nights and weekends with them, all worth it, but without their support there is no way I could have done this. I look forward to being a full-time Dad and Husband again!
I will definitely be coming back to INE when I am ready to start preparation for R/S, and eventually CCDE (years off). The INE material is by far the best and I look forward to learning more! Special thanks to Keith Barker who has been my instructor and mentor throughout this journey. You are the best Keith!

Thank you INE team for all of your training materials which prepared
me for the R&S v4.0 lab. As many others have stated, you are THE
BEST in the business. After a break from studying, I will be back
here to begin training for the SP track. I used the following INE
products:
Advanced Technologies Class on Demand
Advanced Troubleshooting Class on Demand
Core Knowledge Simulation
Workbooks I, II, and IV
Mock Labs
I wish all of the CCIE candidates the best of luck. I hope one day
you will also be able to look with great pride at the long list of
CCIEs on this website and see your name listed. It's the best
feeling in the world!

I took the exam last Friday in RTP and received the news today. This was also my first attempt!!!!
My studies were made up of Reading the SRND section by section and understanding the technology as well as going through Vol 1 workbook and understanding the questions and the task.
Once I was able to do the task and meet the requirements I then moved onto full labs and trying to put it all together.
The week before my lab I completed my last and final full mock lab that Sat. After that no more labbing, I felt I could do the lab so the rest of the week I would do specific topics just to stay sharp but not any full labs. Going back to my sport days you practice, practice, practice then rest before you match, game or event. I did the same with the lab and I feel that paid off pretty good.
I was worried about the OEQ, but like everyone has stated. If you really prepare for the exam the OEQ are easy. I would like to thank Josh Finke, and Mark Snow, for all the study material and advice as well as my study partner "Twann Atkins". So be on the lookout for their success stories coming soon.

"More than impressed with the talent at INE and their contribution as trusted advisors to my success in achieving this certification. I had the opportunity to spend a week at the bootcamp in Reno and solidify the gaps in my knowledge before facing the actual lab. Being able to throw questions back at live bodies while in the midst of mock-lab tasks is priceless as those 'pesky' questions usually surface when studying and your phone-a-friends are out drinking.
Much thanks to Josh for his time, insight and patience and for having the tenacity to take students under his wing and provide the necessary resources to strengthen their understanding of core technologies.
Cathartic experience for sure. Now time for a little break, a little make-up family time, then on to Security!"

It is finally time for me to write my own success story. I cant believe how long it has been and how overwhelming it has been, I really hope you all find my story to be quite unique in some sense or the other.
So to give you a little background on myself. My name is Hadi Esper, I am Lebanese, and 23 years old. I have been studying for my CCIE ever since I touched my first CCNA book (2.5 years ago). I guess my journey is somehow accelerated, you’ll learn why in a few minutes.
I must start with one thing first. I have taken the time to write this post mostly because I feel like I owe it to the INE team and all other members of the INE forums, without your support, I could have never reached where I did. I must also confess, over the whole preparation period, I have been a “taker” and not a “giver”. I would say I was a taker from the forums because I never had time to log on and answer any else’s questions, I only logged on when I had trouble and needed help. So from now on, I promise to make my contribution to the forums as a thank you to everyone who helped me even when I was difficult or in-experienced sometimes. I have also been a huge “taker” from the sales team, whom I always asked for discounts and discounts.. well mostly because preparation was a little difficult for me financially. So you ask how I am going to give back? Hehehe.. well.. I still have 516 tokens in my account, and if the INE team is okay with it, I would be happy to donate them to someone who is currently preparing for the lab and is basically in my shoes (the past me). To be honest, I don’t know who or how to choose.. I was thinking of making some kind of competition, but I don’t want to make it difficult for anyone.. I just want to make someones life just a tiny bit easier.. so experts.. feel free to suggest a decision criteria ..
Alright, so now is the part where I explain how I prepared for my CCIE.. I started my preparation back when I was in university. I am a graduate of the electrical and computer engineering school (July 2008). I started my preparation around January 2008, that’s when I bought a very comprehensive book “CCNA study Guide” by todd lammle. Now one thing I want to stress to any candidate.. when you are preparing for the CCNA, your goal should not be to pass the CCNA exam.. your goal should be to gain CCIE level knowledge part of which happens to be CCNA, CCNP or whatever.. so what I am saying is, even if your studying a CCNA book, do it like your studying for the CCIE. I remember buying some useless router emulator for 150$ .. ow man do I regret that.. just get GNS3.. and start practicing everything you learn in your CCNA and CCNP books. When I took my CCNA exam .. which had some simulation questions, I was at a CCNP level in configuring routing protocols and therefore the CCNA exam simulations were a piece of cake.. and similarly with the CCNP, I had practiced routing switching, qos .. etc.. so much.. that I felt I was above the CCNP level before even taking the tests… why ? because you should be studying to get the CCIE not to pass a CCNA/CCNP test…
Alright so back to my timeline.. I prepared for my CCNA while I was still in university.. it was also a cool experience because I took a graduate level lab at that time where we would spend about 6 hours a week configuring cisco routers and a couple of linux servers.. after I graduated college in 20 days, I was recruited by Cisco as part of a graduate training program where I sat for official certified training (not INE at that time… but INe is the best.. more later..hehehe).. I took ICND-1 and 2.. I passed my CCNA exam.. I took BCMSN,BSCI,ONT,ISCW.. I passed all those tests as well… I passed the CCNA from the first try .. mostly because I was so well prepared since I read the todd lammle book page for page.. CCNP was a struggle .. especially that the courses were so crammed.. each certification was a 9 hour a day for 5 days course.. but during that whole CCNA/CCNP phase.. my life was all study.. I woke up at 8 everyday .. took my class from 9-5.. then stayed at the offices to study from 5pm to 11 or 12pm.. I did that for about 4 months straight.. and that’s how I got to be a CCNP by November 2008.

I have good news....I passed the CCIE R&S lab on my first attempt. I took the lab on the 27th November 2009 and was initially told that I had failed. I was pretty sure I was very close to a pass so I knuckled down and started studying for my next attempt confident that I would nail it the next time. To my surprise on the 5th January Cisco e-mailed me to inform me that my lab had been re-marked as part of a 'review' and that they had changed my score to a PASS. I didn't believe it at first but once I'd received my number (#25821) I knew it was true!!
I put much of my success down to the solid technical grounding that your R&S Volume 1 workbook and Advanced Technology Class VoD gave me. They are truly excellent products. I also used your Volume 4 Troubleshooting Workbook without which I am sure I would have failed that portion of the lab.

I was able to pass the new Version 4.0 of the lab using INE study materials. I had built my lab on the version 3.0 specifications and then found out halfway through my studying they were going to change to the new 4.0 format. I ran through all of the version 3.0 labs, and then reviewed the version 4.0 labs. Since I didn't have the necessary equipment to run the 4.0 labs, I would read through the requirements then run through my head how I would do the lab and scour over Cisco documentation. After figuring out how I would do it, I then reviewed the solutions guide and made notes of the different methods that were in the solutions.
I attempted the CCIE lab on December 21st and was able to pass the new Version 4.0 lab on my first try.

I just wanted to let you know that I got my CCIE R&S number yesterday in Brussels. My number is 25510.
I started in early 2007 with the INE workbooks, complete set. At that time, it was still version 4.0. In the meantime version 5 came out. I also used a lot of rack time from INE in 12 hours sessions that started at 6:00AM until 17:30 local time due to the time zone difference. Then we moved to our own rack in the company premises and allowed me to work on it anytime and from anywhere, whenever I had time for this. I stopped counting how many weekends, vacation days I spent on this rack using the INE workbooks.
The last 6 weeks for me were doing the INE R&S WB Volume1 version 5. This is a great source of information, very well written, with lots of details. I cannot recommend it strongly enough! Peter's 400 pages CoS section (but not only) is simply amazing.
I must say that all INE materials that I worked with is simply awesome!!!
I would like to thank INE for their products and great instructors. And I am glad to see that the team is growing with new expert names.
Brians were great to listen on the CoD. I had to listen CoD 3 times in order to get ALL the details they talk about.
Especially Scott, you were simply great during the boot camp last November in Reno!! Anthony was also special !!
All this helped me during my preparation.
Thank you again and all the best for you guys !

I passed the R&S lab in Sydney today on my third attempt. I started preparing for it about a year ago using the IE workbooks volumes 1 and 2 and would recommend them to anyone. The Volume 1 material particularly is excellent and certainly helped me to understand all the possible variations of each technology that are possible in the actual exam. On my first two attempts I realize now that I wasn't quite ready but this time I absolutely nailed it with about 2 hours spare at the end to verify everything.
My advice to anyone preparing for the R&S exam is don't give up if you fail once or even twice, keep working at it and practice, practice, practice until most configurations become second nature.
That way you'll have plenty of time in the exam to think about anything non-standard and then be able to verify everything you've done.

I used the products included in the RS CCIE 2.0 program, following the suggested learning tiers. I also went to the 2 week all inclusive RS bootcamp, during the bootcamp I was scoring 70-90 on the Mock Labs of week 2.
Thanks to:
Brian and Brian for the awesome ATC videos.
Scott and Anthony for leading such a great bootcamp, had a blast and learned a lot.
Petr for such detailed blog posts.
Everyone who helped make the Volume 1v5 workbook, great job.
Good luck to those who are preparing for an exam!

Hi Everybody
Passed my CCIE R&S lab exam, first attempt on 19-Aug-2009 in Dubai. I would like to thank INE team for their guidance throughout the stressful journey.
The forums and discussions were excellent guide and these are for free and that's INE means they don't just sell their materials only but give candidates the extra info that they need to know for the lab exam. I used INE dynamips edition ver 4.0 and these workbooks gave me all the knowledge I needed to know for the lab exam. I would highly recommend these products for anyone taking the lab exam. I was preparing for the exam for almost a year. One thing for sure these INE lab workbooks are though but that's what made the real lab for me look so simple and straight forward.
Once again thank you INE. Thank you Brian, Brian McGahan, Petr and Scott.

I want to thanks the whole INE team for training me through this
difficult time...
I used all the material with the CCIE 2.0 program and managed to pass
the lab in 7 months with intense training. The new volume 5.0 material
is by far the best I have seen. Open lecture really prepared me on
verification and information for the latest blueprint!! thank you and
I will be back for SP.

I passed my CCIE RS lab on July 31st, 2009 in RTP. The four IE Mock
Labs I took made a real difference. The most important thing about
them is that you get a lot of feedback from the graders, and you
actually get to feel the areas you need to improve further. Some of
them are more challenging than the actual lab, and - although some
may argue - better designed and written than the actual lab. :)
The guys at IE really know the technologies and their subtleties and
do a wonderful job of putting their knowledge into high-quality
training material. The free resources on the IE website and the IE
blog are simply superb. The documents about Catalyst QoS... a
lifesaver.
Thank you guys. I'll be back for SP. :)

After months of dedicating my life to the CCIE RS lab, I'm happy to
report that I now own number 25025. The Internetwork Expert
workbooks, videos, and mock labs played a huge part in getting me
here. I watched all of the Advanced Technology videos, worked
through Workbook I (v4.1), most of Workbook II (v5), a good chunk of
Workbook III (v4.1), and four mock labs. By the time I sat for the
test, I felt overprepared. Thanks Scott and the Brians!

Hi IE team,
I almost passed the first time in June, but Cisco decided to give me
a second challenge. So I went back to Brussels yesterday ... and
passed my CCIE RS #25004
For the preparation, I've read :
- Cisco CCIE Certification Guide
- Routing TCP/IP Vol I,II
- Cisco QoS Exam Certification Guides
- and Cisco Doc CD for everything
I practiced 7 IE MockLab the last 3 months and also used Core
Knowledge Simulation.
I must say that IE products really help me to point out what I have
to read and pratice deeply.
Thanks guys for all your great job. I will definitely go with IE for
my next track.
All the best to IE team and keep up the good work.

Dear InternetworkExpert Team,
I have returned from Brussels yesterday and today got my score - PASS
at first attempt on Jul 27, 2009!
During the preparations I have used IEWB Volume I and II version 4.1
and 5.0 - they are excellent and in-depth written.
I find your Audio Book a very valuable resource - great to listen
during mythic spare time and while driving :-)
The Core Knowledge Questions are good as well.
So, I have leveraged almost everything, even the Polymorphic labs. It
was a great half-a-year marathon.
Last but not least - I have spent numerous evenings with Advanced
Technologies CoD - a very good material to structuralize the theory
and start the CCIE preparations with.
Did I forget something? :-)
Special kudos to Petr - his blog entries are enlightening. Keep up
the good job!
Keep it going, Gentlemen.

Hello IE Team,
I would like to thank you for the effort to make my dream possible,finally and after 1 and half Year of hard work and study i done with my CCIE (RS) last week, COD 10 days and Workbook 1 and 2 make the difference on my experience and change my way on my real world hand on implementation.
My advice is "Learn TO Know" not to be a CCIE, don't rush on your study start from Basic up to advance.
Sky is the limit.

IE,
Thank you for all of the great materials that are both challenging
and informative. After a long 3 years of preparation I have passed my
RS Lab.
The IE 12 day boot camp was an eye opener for me. I would recommend
anyone take this after you think you are ready. It will show you
where your shortfalls are. Then once you have those corrected you
will be ready.
The best advice I can give anyone is, don't give up.

I would definitely use your products for other tracks in the near future and recommend it as well to prospective candidates. Great going guys.

The reality of it is still sinking it, but it's official: I am now
CCIE RS 24917 after my first attempt!
Without question, my success is greatly due to the materials
available from Internetwork Expert. I went through all of the Class
on Demands, Workbooks 1, 2, and 3, and the Core knowledge simulator.
My schedule was short and aggressive, exactly 4 months from start
till my lab date on July 20, 2009. On average, I studied 3 hours a
night during the work week, and 6 - 8 hours on the weekends. Due to
the time committed, and the high quality of the Internetwork Expert
materials, I didn't find the lab as technically challenging as I
expected. The study materials put me at a technical level that was
above and beyond what I encountered in the lab, and it became more an
issue of time management and lab strategy.
My thanks again to the Internetwork Expert team. Over the past
four months, I bounced between praising and cursing the Internetwork
Expert name. The end result is that thestudy materials pushed me to
reach a level of technical proficiency that has made me realize this:
I was a CCIE before I walked into the lab- the lab was more a
necessary formality.

restless until the email from Cisco.

Hi Friends,
Just want to tell you that 24888 has been claimed as of July 16, 2009 (RTP). No no...she is mine :)
Great thanks goes to team INE: Anthony S., Brian M and Brian D., Scott M, Peter L., Mike B., River H. You guys have built a very solid organization (from Sales to support to technical material).
This journey has been a long one for me. ON/OFF and some brute force approach initially. Then I changed approach and and was determined to go from bottom up. Passing was no more the only requirement. Emphasis on understanding "all" the technology behind issues. Can I solve it with other methods kind of asking....Also, my latest job role demanded the expertise (it is tech support if you are curious)
OEQ: Do not underestimate them!!! Like Anthony said, take sweet time, back-n-forth, upside-down...etc with them. You have no chance to ask for clarification. Proctor Howard is awesome. A very polite profession person. He tries to ease up your tension (specially during lunch ) with funnies...etc.
Now I have to erase some voices from my brain (Scott's "it depends", Brian M "good morning every one" ). Peter L, you are one genius I (hope to get a copy of your future book). Anthony, your advise has been very inspirational and kept me going when I am tired and weak.
Took the exam one day before my first child and son B-Day on Friday July 17. Took his picture to lab (showed it to Proctor who told me show him both sides when done). Looked at the pic during the long eight hours.
One more thing: read the whole thing cover-to-cover before you start. It was nerve racking, as the clock ticks w/out you clicking on the key board. But per Anthony's advice, if it helps you un-stress, answer one or two "low hugging fruits" as Brian M calls'em.
Go luck to all. Heading for SP. Hope my friends at INE will hook me up with a deal :)
Best Regards,

Hi IE,
I passed the lab earlier this week on Monday 13th of july 2009. It
was my 3rd attempt and i must say that the IE materials went a long
way in helping me pass. I was able to fully understand the
technologies and it was not just a case of brute force.
I would like to say a big thank you for the great materials that you
have and will definitely go with IE for my CCDE journey.

I always use to read the success story of almost every CCIE on this form to evaluate myself that how I am going and where I am standing to get motivation from them. But today its mine day to write something here. I passed my written exam in March 2008 and thought to move forward towards the lab. But I never knew that how to start and from where to start. I google it and found internetwork expert community as a best resource. I read the note of Brian Dennis "how to become CCIE" that really put me on right track. I planned my study according to that. Started with Advance Technology (R&S) labs, and gone through that twice, then I started volume-2 on 1st lab it took me 3 days with 8 hours working on very 1st lab and I came to know that CCIE is all about dedication. So, I decided to move steadily with motivation towards my goal. I found my self that whenever I repeat the lab I always found new thing or anything that I left unintentional in previous try. I practised as per Brian Denis recommendation 1,2-4,5,7, etc. and practised them over again and again. That improved my grip on technology and CLI typing speed. Gone through CoD over and over and again that's fruitful to you and what I found was to note the important points in CoD (CoD is like golden words that is full of knowledge). That worked and helped me to get prepare for the big day. It took almost 18 months for me to clear the lab with dedicated 8-9 hours study per day.
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 passed the routing and switching first time in Brussels on June
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..

Hi,
I am Khurram Noor from Pakistan and I am CCIE#24419. I used IE Vol4&5/ For video training and used IE Class on demand. I mostly relied heavily on IE labs and used all others for references and cross checks.Thanks to Internetwork Expert for all the workbooks, Dennis,McGahan and Anthony you people are the real experts. The Vol5 of IE is great and full of new challenges they were really helpful for me and I hope they will be as much helpful for others as well.

I would like to thank everyone at Internetwork Expert for their great
products that helped me to achieved my CCIE.
I used Vol 1, 2 & 3 Workbooks, Mock Labs, Audio Lectures and also the Core Knowledge Simulation.
I would especially like to say that the work that has been done on
Volume 1 Version 5 is outstanding. There is so much detail for each
task. This update to Vol 1 really helped me to fill in the gaps.
I would recommend Internetwork Expert products to anyone who wants to pursue a CCIE.
Thanks

I started my CCIE journey for about 2 years studying to written exam
after I gathered some extensive experience while being CCNP
certified. May 2008 I passed my written exam and since then
everything has changed - all candidates know how many time and private live must be sacrified for intensive studies on road to CCIE.
After about 11 months of doing labs and trying out technologies, reading DocCD and self organized training I failed in march 2009 on my first attempt in Brussels. It wasn't disappointment for me because I had really good feeling about the exam and Score Report confirmed that - I was very close to pass. Never say die ;) Although I took in the
meantime some mocklabs there were another weaknesses which I had to work on, and after that in may 2009 I passed my lab in Brussels on second attempt.
Regarding my preparations I would strongly recommend all CCIE RS
candidates to use IEWB Workbooks as they are "technology" and "why" oriented - the purpose is really to teach the student to think and
prepare for exam with understanding of covered topics. And that is
the coolest thing on that study materials. On the other site -
knowing documentation is essential.
To summarize the story - usage of good workbooks combined with hard self-motivated training and study approach (this one from IE/Brians is in my opinion the best) will lead every candidate to success not only by passing the exam but also later on the daily job.
Kind regards,
after I gathered some extensive experience while being CCNP
certified. May 2008 I passed my written exam and since then
everything has changed - all candidates know how many time and private live must be sacrified for intensive studies on road to CCIE.
After about 11 months of doing labs and trying out technologies, reading DocCD and self organized training I failed in march 2009 on my first attempt in Brussels. It wasn't disappointment for me because I had really good feeling about the exam and Score Report confirmed that - I was very close to pass. Never say die ;) Although I took in the
meantime some mocklabs there were another weaknesses which I had to work on, and after that in may 2009 I passed my lab in Brussels on second attempt.
Regarding my preparations I would strongly recommend all CCIE RS
candidates to use IEWB Workbooks as they are "technology" and "why" oriented - the purpose is really to teach the student to think and
prepare for exam with understanding of covered topics. And that is
the coolest thing on that study materials. On the other site -

Thank you for your excellent products. I passed the CCIE Routing and
Switching Lab on 4/27/09 in San Jose, CA. Your mock lab showed me
what my weak areas were and I also learned a lot from your free
v-seminar on multicast. Thank you very much and keep up the good
work!

Wooooooooww!!
I can't believe it yet! I must be dreaming. I swear that I'm dreaming.
For the past 4 nights (2 days before the exam and 2 days after) I
couldn't sleep more than 5h per night, I was just way too nervous.
I just received the email from Cisco... "Congratulations on passing
the CCIE Routing and Switching Lab!" and now I must be CCIE Number
24224, at least if they say so 'cause I still can believe it.
Special thanks go to Bogdan Sass (CCIE 22221) who made me believe this
is achieveable even by a mere mortal like me.
At this moment I'm only thinking that I want to get the voice track as
soon as possible, but there a small side of me that whispers, "just
wait a little bit, enjoy what you have right now, don't dive so quick
into another one"! :)

Hi,
I thought I'd write back and let you know that I sat and passed my CCIE R&S lab exam in Sydney on Friday.
The INE workbook products were great and I utilized Workbook II mostly for my preparation. I took the approach of using them as a learning tool, taking the time to read and understand the underlying topic / technology and how it needed to be applied to meet the requirements of the question.
I would definitely recommend these workbooks to others and plan on pursuing the Security track with the assistance of INE in the future.

I used your workbook and remote labs for my CCIE Lab preparations.
The materials are great, covering wide range of topics that appear on
the lab. Remote labs are very similar to the real LAB equipment, so I
recommend it to anyone preparing for the exam. Passing the lab in the
first attempt is quite an achievement, and I've made it thanks to You
guys!

I've started to learn cisco stuff in 1999. I't was fast at beginning,
I've made CCNP/DP/SP/IP and then... I've changed job and I didn't have time to learn to any cert.
Last year I've decided to change job again and to any job that let me fulfill my CCIE dream. And here I am. Half year later with my CCIE R/S number.
Thanks to Anthony and Scott (12 bootcamp), I've finally manage it. This structured approach really works.

Hello IE - I past the CCIE R&S lab exam on 13-Mar-2009 (Friday the 13th of all days). CCIE # 23838. Many thanks to IE's experts and support which were vital resources during my studies. Your material presents the technologies extremely well. The COD and volume I workbook provided the foundation and volume II added the practical application of the technologies in the lab environment. The IEOC is a valuable resource and a technology data mine for all those studying any CCIE track and those whom are accomplished.
Thanks again
Thanks again

I have waited for the opportunity to write this email. I passed my CCIE R&S Lab yesterday in Lagos (Mobile Lab) at second attempt.
I wish to thank the team at InternetworkExpert for putting together great materials for CCIE candidates. I purchased and used the Class On Demand, Audio and Lab
Breakdown. InternetworkExpert materials is a MUST for every CCIE candidate. This helped me in Knowing the Technology.
My advice is: Know the Technology and Do as many labs as possible especially InternetworkExpert 7,8,9,10,11 and back.

I just passed my CCIE on 3/11/2009! Internetwork Experts was an amazing resource in my studies to pass the CCIE. I began studying at the beginning of January 2009 doing labs 3 times a week through the first week of March and passed on my first attempt! The materials covered in the practice labs were invaluable to preparing me for the exam.
I think what helped the most was taking the extra effort to research every topic I didn't understand as completely as possible and focus more on making sure I'd seen each configuration at least once and understood the answers and topic. It was not so much getting it right the first time, but getting it right the second time that counted. All three workbooks were phenomenal!

I am so happy right now I can't stand it! I am happy for the validation that this pass brings for all these months of hard work. I am happy because I will finally get to spend some time with my friends and family. But... I am most happy that I can stop studying all the time!
I want to thank IE so much for everything. You guys are truly an amazing team! You have an amazing product and a real dedication and passion for this stuff. It was truly an honor!
I took my written exam right about the middle of August. I began studying for the written at the beginning of May, so I have been at this for about 10 or 11 months. I took my first attempt about a month ago and came pretty close but obviously didn't pass. I was really worried about the short answer questions because they hadn't been implemented yet on my last attempt. Fear of the unknown! I have to say that they were a bit of a let down. The questions I got did not seem difficult to me. I didn't spend more than 5 minutes answering them.
I spent the last 2 weeks studying nothing but theory. I read Anthony's CCIE R & S Quick Reference sheets, I read several of the core chapters from Odom's book and I read the Summary pages for all the core technologies from the Cisco Site. I felt overly prepared and I was. The exam felt like a breeze this time but it also felt like a breeze last time. I really felt like I didn't have any questions on the technologies this time though, where last time I did feel that way in a couple areas. I think that studying the theory over the last couple weeks really helped fill in a few areas that I didn't realize I was weak in. I really moaned and groaned about the theory questions when they were anounced but I think it may have actually been beneficial for me.
Anyway, good luck to all you guys who have a date coming up! You will probably see me back here in a few months getting ready for the Security track.

I was waiting for this day to write my PASS mail to groupstudy.
I gave my exam on 9th February and guess what I failed. After leaving the examination hall I was sure that I will pass this exam.
On the same day around 10, I got the mail from Cisco , in which I failed and I was shocked by looking the result .I got zero in one of the technology but rest of them are fine.
I first thought of re-read my exam, but then I went through some blog where everybody was negative about re-read.
After that day, I used to go to Cisco site to check my result twice a day and also for checking the date available for my second attempt.
Because after that week also, I was not able to decide whether to go for re-read or to go for second attempt
In the mean time I finish up my IE vol ver 5 and started reading book on QoS an BGP, just preparing for my second attempt.
Later that week when I was going through my result in Cisco, I decided to go for re-read and I clicked on re-read.
Yesterday morning when I was going through my mail, I received the congratulation mail from Cisco and here I am part of CCIE family.
I like to thank all people in this Group and my wife for her support while I was preparing for this and especially in that last week, when I failed the exam.
Here are some of tip from my side
IE ver 5 is awesome, do it at least once or twice depending on how much time you have.
Do not worry about open-ended question.
Make habit of sitting for 8 hour and doing lab and if you don't able to answer anything in your practice lab, try to search in that Cisco URL does not lookup the answers in middle of the lab.
Apart from your knowledge, I thing your result also depend upon, your speed and how well you are familiar with Cisco URL.
I was able to finish my exam in 5 hour and I spent three hour in verification and testing results.
Best of luck.

Hi,
Very happy to let you folks know that I cleared my CCIE security lab today in bangalore. It was my first CCIE and my second attempt. I would like to congratulate IE on the wonderful products, IE-SC Vol1 and IE-SC Vol2.
To start out with, after my initial preparation, I used Vol1. It covered numerous technology based case studies. The one on VPN was simply broad and indepth covering a lot of areas. Even all the others like IPS, Firewall were excellent. These gave me a very concrete foundation after my initial studies. After that I went for Vol2.
I liked Vol2 a lot. There is a very good mix of technologies and I found the IE labs to have greater content, building of scenarios on top of previous ones, plenty of constraints etc. So they really load you up if you do all 10 labs. Some of the labs forces one not to use the standard approach of setting things up, instead using a lateral/alternate approach. As weird and strange these questions and answers sounded to me, it opened up new possibilities and ways of looking at things. Some of the questions I got for my second attempt were not easy to interpret or just simply seemed impossible on the first reading. But using a thought process picked up by using these Vol2 labs I figured out the answers. When I got the answers I wasnt 100% sure if they were correct by cisco criteria. But this much I know; if those answers turned out to be wrong I would have lost enough points to fail. So they had to be correct.
Once again thank you very much. I wouldnt think of another product for my next track.

I purchased the R&S Workbooks I, II, & III combo package last July.
By October I was able to scrounge enough equipment to making a working solution for your design. I then began non-stop lab work (with a full-time job). I am fortunate to have access to a few co-workers/friends that are already CCIEs, to discuss things with. I sat for the lab on February 9th and received a FAIL grade. I doubted some of the results I got and after a few days of deep thought, I requested a re-read. I received the results this morning with the grade changed to PASS! Just wanted to say thanks for building such a great product.

I selected IE for my prep training and materials for my 2nd attempt at the security CCIE lab. The boot-camp training was great and I also utilized the advanced technologies class-on-demand. But I believe the most significant factor that affected my outcome was taking the IE suggested CCIE lab strategy to heart.
Thanks again, and see you next fall when I start the process again for my R&S exam.

I've just received lab exam result. It's PASS. On my third attempt.
Many people say this but I can repeat this all time - without IE materials I wouldn't have come so close to this certification level.
It took about two years to achieve it.
I used primarily Dynamips and IE-RS-WB II, polymorphic labs. Also, 10 days before the exam I took a mock lab, which put all my knowledge and strengths together. I would recommend IE to all canididates and people who wants just to keep all knowledge up to date.
Again thanks, keep going!

I just wanted to say a massive thanks for your help in getting me through the CCIE lab - I passed on 25th Feb!!
Without the CoD's, Bootcamp, Rack rentals and Mock Labs, I wouldn't have been anywhere near ready.
All of the IE material helped me to understand not only the technology but the also study approach and lab strategy needed to pass.
I had several lab attempts before using IE and I just wished I had invested in the study materials a long time ago.
Thanks again!

I purchased the full Security CCIE Internetwork Expert study kit with bootcamp only 5 short months ago. By dedicating most evenings and weekends to get through all the material and attend the bootcamp, I was able to go from zero to CCIE in five months and pass on the first attempt.
I look forward to using the route/switch material if I choose to go for a second!

This has been one of the greatest challenges of my life to date. The level of commitment required is phenomenal and one can only realize this at the end of the journey (which incidentally is the best feeling ever.....2 weeks on and I'm still on cloud nine!)
That being said this would have been far more difficult without the help of Internetwork Expert. Their study materials beat the competition hands down and have been an integral part in helping me focus my efforts in the correct areas. I thoroughly recommend their Mock Labs in the final stages.
Best of luck to anyone reading this that is yet to take the exam.....it's well worth all the effort!
......now where did I leave my social life.....

On February 19th, I passed the Routing & Switching lab exam on my first attempt at the RTP testing location. First off, I'd like to thank everybody at Internetwork Expert's for putting together such well developed study materials. In less than 4 months I was able to learn and troubleshoot all the topics from the CCIE blueprint. Once the lab exam came around I felt confident with all the topics.
Besides earning the certified status, I feel I've definitely learned an incredible amount about advanced networking and how to methodically solve problems, which will be extremely valuable for my future in the networking industry. Now I have to check which track is next on my list!
.... I'll be back!

Hey Guys - I passed the Routing & Switching Lab exam on Feb 4th after working extensively with your materials, including workbook volumes 1-3 and the Advanced Technologies CoD. All of your material is top notch, but the Volume I version 5 workbook was particularly helpful, and in my opinion is some of the best training material on the market. Keep up the great work - look forward to the Service Provider workbooks.

I passed the R&S lab in San Jose on my 2nd attempt using IE's lab products and rack rentals. Needless to say IE has some amazing instructors, workbook and CoDs for anyone want to study CCIE lab.
Before my first attempt I was lucky to sign up with the new Poly-Lab Assessment beta program. From the assessment lab I can see grade report and how the script grades the lab. It gives me a good idea how the actual lab is graded. I agree with IE's statement: "This is the best tool to measure your training progress in the industry today". I hope there will be same product for the other tracks soon!
Before my first attempt I was lucky to sign up with the new Poly-Lab Assessment beta program. From the assessment lab I can see grade report and how the script grades the lab. It gives me a good idea how the actual lab is graded. I agree with IE's statement: "This is the best tool to measure your training progress in the industry today". I hope there will be same product for the other tracks soon!

I just wanted to share with you that I passed the R&S lab yesterday in RTP. I want to extend a huge thank you to the whole IE team, your products played an instrumental role in getting my number. I will be sure to recommend your products to other CCIE candidates.

I've got my number on my second attempt, and I must say that IEs gave me everything I needed for succeeding.
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 passed my CCIE R&S Lab Exam in Tokyo on Monday 16 Feb, luckily that was my first attempt.
For preparation I used your IEWB-RS-DYN Vol2, Mock labs 2-4, Dynamips, some Cisco Press books, and CCO. It took me about 10 months to prepare.
Strongly recommend everyone use IEWB, it's tougher than the real Lab so you would've been well prepared if you went through all the WB Labs.

I passed my CCIE Lab examination on the 16th of February 2009. Couldnt believe it. The labs were straight forward but i had doubts about my answers to one of the open end questions. Had me anxious until I got home (12 hours flight).
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.

I started my preparation using some routers I bought from ebay and other and some random support from an vendors. I failed once at the lab.
Then I discovered IE Workbook and Online Bootcamp. This drastically changed my learning curved and made me realized that I had been wasting my time before.
IE has a wonderful WB which helps you get above the crowd and reach a the right level to pass the CCIE Lab and go beyond.
Any one, CCIE candidate or not should, use these IE materials as guide in the networking industry.

Hello,
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.

After 21 months of tough studying and lots of late nights and two unsuccessful Lab attempts, I finally climbed the mountain on Feb 5th 2009 at RTP. Being a single father of two rowdy boys, studying was tough and lack of sleep was the norm. However, I found your mock labs essential in my studying. The feedback I received from the proctors was critical to my developing the necessary understanding and for calming me down. The technical knowledge is of course a requirement for success, but so is staying calm and working quickly, not in a hurry. There is a big difference between them and if you don't know that, then you're not ready. I wasn't for a long time, but I am now.
So thank you all very much for you're work producing excellent study materials. I plan on returning to pursue my next track, but not for year or so! My boys and I need a vacation!!

I'd like to sincerely say thanks for your excellent products and excellent instructors. I can truly say that after thoroughly going through each of the technologies, that your practice / mock labs were exactly what I needed before taking the actual CCIE lab. They greatly helped me work on testing strategy and identifying areas to work on.
They were all uniquely challenging and should highly be considered by all CCIE candidates.

In mid 2007 I passed the CCIE R/S written exam and began studying for the lab shortly thereafter. I followed Internetwork Exper's recommended method of first extensively studying the technologies, and then working on practice labs. Shortly before my first lab attempt I took three Internetwork Expert mock labs to have an independent review of what areas I needed to focus on.
I would highly recommend the Internetwork Expert mock labs to everyone; having a simulation of the real exam and having personal feedback is invaluable!
Thank you for the great products and the great service you offer to all CCIE candidates.

I utilized the Internetwork Expert CoD and 12-day Bootcamp to strengthen my failings on the lab.
Although I did not pass the lab on my first attempt following the bootcamp, the materials provided in WBII and WBII honed my skills. This led to my passing the CCIE R&S Lab on 27 Jan 2009. Thank you so very much Internetwork Expert.

I feel so great after passing my CCIE (R&S) from Dubai. I feel so relieved after so much hard study and preparation for almost 10 Months. IE was the best support and the confidence that i can achieve this number. The Online Racks were really helpful, and i was able to clear out all my doubts. I spent most of my time practicing rather than studying theory. I followed the guidelines of IE and finally i got the number.
Thanks Guys, I'll be back with Next track of CCIE.

I came into the telecommunications industry during the summer of 2008. When I first started working, all I heard was how respected is having a CCIE certification and the dedication and focused you needed in order to achieve it. At that moment I put a mission on myself to achieve this certification in 6 months, something that others considered impossible since I had little to no experience. However, I began my journey by achieving the CCNA and CCNP certifications. At this point I started working with the internetwork expert materials and resources. I followed many of the suggestions I heard from other people that have achieved their CCIE certification thanks to internetwork expert and their approach towards all the material.
Thanks to internetwork expert and their step-by-step learning curriculum I was able to not be overwhelmed with the amount of material while still being able to prepare for my test. I was studying around 14 hours a day for 3 months straight 7 days a week, all this time was spent using internetwork expert directly or indirectly. For this reason, I think it would've been impossible to complete my mission without internetwork expert and their great resources, materials, services, and staff. Thanks for all your help and for providing people like me the chance to achieve such a great milestone that not only affects me personally but also motivates other people to achieve it.

I'd like to thank you and all at Internetwork Expert for your invaluable help on my CCIE journey. I took your bootcamp in Sept. 08 and made extensive use of your Advanced Technology Class and Lab Workbooks to finally pass the Security Lab in San Jose on Jan 21 2009.
Besides the wealth of knowledge I gained from the camp and class it was great just to see your approach to problem areas and advice on lab strategy etc, it took a lot of stress off before I sat the real thing and definitely helped my time management (your voice kept playing in my head every time I started spending too long on one task). Also the lab workbook kept my knowledge tested and expectations in check, no matter how ready I thought I was there was always something in there that would bring me back down to earth.
Like just about everyone on the CCIE track I've built up a lot of resources in lab equipment, books, CBTs etc. but I can easily say that the Internetwork Expert components were the single most influential in helping me pass.
Kudos and thanks again. I'll be back someday for R&S....

The most unique part of my story is probably that the day I passed the CCIE lab had actually closed due to inclement weather. I had never heard of the lab being closed and needless to say this was a situation I had not prepared for. Luckily I did not check my email and showed up anyway along with 3 other candidates. Bobby and Howard the proctors at RTP were nice enough to drive in through the snow and the lab was opened. Other candidates were then notified and I think all but one or two was able to sit.

I would like to let you know that I passed the CCIE RS exam yesterday in Brussels on my first attempt. It was an incredible good feeling to see my five digits this morning.
For preparation I used your Audio and Video Classes and the Workbooks I,II and III (all version 4.1).
I must say that your products helped me a lot in understanding the technologies and in practicing. I am sure that without it I would have a hard time in passing the lab exam, especially not on the first attempt.
So let me say a big Thank You to the whole IE team for putting so much efforts into your products.
Thanks and Best Regards

Passed R&S on my first attempt. I firmly believe that it was almost impossible without IE.
IE is special in that its material actually TEACHES you. Unlike others, there is no cramming, lists of gotchas, watch outs and as Brian Dennis says, no stupid router tricks.
I have attended a boot camp from an instructor and used lab workbooks from some other vendors. Although they are good but nothing matches IE in quality and continuous improvement. If you have only one choice, its InternetworkExpert.
The CoD modules are thorough, explain the technology in great detail and do not cut on time. All backed up by excellent articles on the blog and clear & concise answers to the questions. I don't know if any other vendor has such excellent blogs where there are ONLY TECHNICAL discussions without any vendor war involved.
Brians, Scott, Peter and Anthony are all eager to help you LEARN the technology and that's what has created a lot of respect for them.
Thanks guys for your excellent support. To all R&S candidates, I will highly recommend IE.
Do not go for your exam without attempting the Mock Labs first. They look simple and easy but really shock you when you get a 54 while expecting 80s.
IE will be my definite choice for my next track.

I'll definitely be using IE for any future CCIE tracks.

My story is pretty short and sweet. I have always been a user and "expert" at Cisco technologies and product line. I consider myself a very intelligent individual and thought that there was a secret to passing the CCIE lab. There is. The secret is taking the time to learn all of the material and utilize Internetwork Expert classes and graded mock labs. Point blank!!

I want to thank InternetworkExpert for their excellent training materials. I have used R&S Workbook Volume I, II & III, as well as the Advanced Technologies Class on Demand, the 5 Day Bootcamp Class on Demand, Mock Labs 5, 6, & 2. I found the Lab Strategy video especially helpful for time management during the Lab Exam. I was able to use the last 2-3 hours to verify the configurations, and to look up a few technologies that I was not completely familiar with.

I signed up for their mock labs and I bet they are best ones available in the industry.
With the detailed feedback on the evaluation of my mock lab,I was able to fine tune my weak areas before appearing for the real exam.
Also the Rack-Rentals provided by IEWB really helped me get a extensive hands-on experience on all the technologies needed to clear the examination.

After multiple attempts at the security lab spanning a period of three years, I finally took the boot camp from Internetwork Expert (Brian). He will not tell you the answers for the lab exam, however, he will help you think the task through so you can answer any task that you encounter.
I also picked up some excellent tips for exam day strategy. I used the Class on Demand, mini labs and mock labs to learn the technologies. I have seen many vendors' books and practice labs. The IE products and support are some of the best available. I will use Internetwork Expert for my next IE. Thanks for making such a great product!

Thanks to Internetwork Experts, I am pleased to announce that I finally passed my CCIE R&S on January 8, 2009 in San Jose, CA. I used your labs I and II along with your 80 hour on-demand CCIE R&S class.
I started out using a competitor's lab workbook. After failing on my first attempt, an associate introduced me to Internetwork Experts. After I purchased your labs, I said that these guys know what they are talking about. Also, your 80 R&S class which I took on line was not only essential for this certification, but for the real world!
I have already passed along the favor to two of my colleagues who have purchased the R&S Workbook and On-demand class.

Me and my twin brother worked on our CCIE Lab exam R&S from 2 years, studying and preparing from Internetwork Expert, by using the below amazing materials:
- Video Training
- Workbooks Volume I,II, and III as well
I think we are the only twins who got the CCIE Lab exam together :-)

I passed my R&S Lab exam on Tuesday Dec 23, 2008. It was my 2nd attempt. I had passed my written in April 2007, also in 2nd attempt!
'The Journey' started in Jan 2003. It was a long road and a rough ride, sometimes side-tracked by other priorities or commitments. But I finally reached there.
Why did I choose IT as a career track?
As I was completing my High School in the year 2000, I knew that Computers & IT is an area of immense growth potential. I was aware that Oracle, as an ERP and MIS solution, was being implemented in my fathers workplace (a large air-conditioner manufacturer) and the expert IT professionals were being paid to the tune of USD 400 an hour to get the job done. So yes, as a 17-year-old guy, I pretty much knew what I was going to do in future professionally.
How did this decision lead to Network Engineering as a career?
After High School, I got admitted to Pakistan prestigious institute, The University of Karachi, in its revered Department of Computer Science. My peers were gold-medalists, A-1 graders, high-achievers from the various big high schools, so the pressure was immense. To stay afloat among such good peers, I had to work very hard. Frankly I was led to the decision of taking up Computer Networking as a career because I couldn't otherwise stand out from the crowd of beyond-cool Computer Programmers in my Graduate class.
What resources did I use to prepare?
I took the long road, doing my CCNA in the year 2005, CCNP in 2007 and finally CCIE. I would still recommend this long road because although CCNA or CCNP may not be industry certifications any more but these certs definitely lay the right foundation. I used several resources from time to time, including: Books: Routing TCP IP
Vol.1+2 (Jeff Doyle), BCMSN (David Hucaby), CCIE Official Exam Cert Guide (Wendell Odom), Workbooks: IEWB Vol.2 (InternetworkExpert.com), Narbik Kocharians Adv Tech Workbook, OOnline Classes: Class-on-Demand

I passed the CCIE Lab on December 18th 2008 in San Jose. I enjoyed working through the class on demand and workbooks and would recommend them to anyone wanting to broaden their horizon and attain the CCIE cert. Being able to go through material and classes numerous times allows the more complex scenarios to be understood and retained. I have been working on this cert for a number of years and it is great feeling to have finally reached the CCIE plateau.
Thanks
Thanks

My CCIE number consists of five digits and for each of them I want to thanks each of your instructors, who taught me a lot of networking through the workbooks and online resources.
My special thanks goes to Petr, for his pursuit on answering my inexhaustible QoS questions.

Hello IE Team,
I just found out that I passed the CCIE R&S lab on my first try! I can't say enough about the support and knowledge of the entire staff. The Brians, Scott, Anthony and Petr are awesome trainers even though I haven't met them in person I felt that I has their support through the forums and email. I only used Internetwork Expert for my preperation and I wouldn't have passed with it. You have gained a customer for life. Thanks again.

Hi IE team,
I passed my CCIE R&S lab at my second attempt yesterday in Sydney.
A BIG THANK-YOU to 2xBrians, Scott and Petr and all the team. You and your products (CoD, Workbooks, Mock Labs) are simply THE BEST.
The CoD and Workbook Vol1 really give me understanding of technologies. Vol3 is a great resource to practice core technologies, and to improve my speed. I listened/practiced them multiple times! I would like to take this opportunity to personally thank Scott and Petr for your help answering questions I posted on (...) mailing list as well.
I would definitely recommend IE products to all my friends who would like to pursuit CCIE certifications.

After my first two failed attempts, I finally decided to use something to help me improve my "non-experience"... I tried a few others but definitely, Internetwork Expert workbooks are really amazing and Dynamips solution is a real good low cost alternative to real hardware study lab!
I came back to Brussels two days ago and succeeded to pass my R&S exam.
Thanks for your solutions, products, blog and especially for your philosophy!
I'm not going to stop in a so good way now, maybe I'm going to start CCIE SP or Security...

I had first took the CCIE R&S lab when I was 20 years old and failed.
It was so confusing at the time, I was unsure on how to prepare. A couple of years later I heard about Internetwork Expert's products.
I used the Class on Demand to gain a deeper understanding of the topics and the Lab Workbook II to practice. After going through both thoroughly I was able to pass my lab on my 2nd "REAL" attempt. I new all of the answers the first time, I just did not have my speed down.
On my passing attempt, I was done 2 hours early and was able to go back and verify again that my configurations were working as the lab required. Now at 24 I finally have my number and look forward to using Internetwork Experts products on other tracks. I could not have done it without the products!

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.

Hy at all. I've successfully passed R&S lab exam in Bruselles on November-20-2008. A great thank to Internetwork Expert Group for their High Quality Products, furnished to me at a CLP (Pres) in Italy. I consider Lab Workbook and Technology Labs the best gymnasium to pass lab exam. I've appreciated their clarity and help topics. All of these, integrated with a good lab, is the key to successfully understand all arguments and to increase configurations and troubleshooting speed, necessary to pass the lab. Good Luck at all with IE4!!!

On November 18, 2008 I passed my CCIE R&S on my second attempt. This would not have been possible without the help of Internetwork Expert.
I would like to that both Brian McGahan and Brian Dennis. I used Advanced Technologies Class on Demand, Workbooks 1 and 2, plus attended the CCIE R&S boot camp lead by Brian McGahan in May 2008, of which met and exceeded my expectations and brought me that much closer to my CCIE number.
Another big plus was the support. By the support staff and both Brians! Not only is the reply/response time fast, but you are always made to feel as a professional!
I just purchased the CCIE Security package, and I am sure I will enjoy the same success as I did with the R&S track from Internetwork Expert.
Thanks again Brian McGahan and Brian Dennis!

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.

I got CCIE passed yesterday.
It was so easy to me since I did your practice material many many times. I did Internetwork Expert Workbook Volume 1, then Internetwork Expert Workbook Volume 2 Lab 1-20 twice, Internetwork Expert Workbook 3 Core lab twice.
I used my Dynamips, but lent a rack for a week for the switching technology at last. The lab exam was so easy to me than I expect 'cause I already know what they asking.
Now I think I am more higher level than CCIE that Cisco calls.
Thank you Internetwork Expert again, and wish to have a good luck with all of you.

I passed the CCIE R&S last October 22, 2008 in Sydney. I prepared for
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!

The material is designed to challenge and I felt thoroughly prepared going into the lab, and even happier when I left.
I will certainly be using IE again when I do my next lab - once I've had a break!
Thank you so much.

In august 2007 I was busy with my CCSP training program when a colleague asked me to join him to do CCIE Security. I was not interested at first, thinking that CCIE was a bit too much for me.
But I thought that it would be a great practice for me. A lot of experience in the technique and having some fun. Not at all to get the number. So I started by getting my written. This took about 2 months, because I already had 3 of my 5 CCSP certificates. End September 2007 I started practicing with the Internetwork Expert study material. At the beginning once a week, but when time passed more every week.
In the end, just before my exam I had 2 weeks off and did 10 hours+ per day. My speed was building every day. The first lab I did in 3 days, but in the end I did it in 5 hours. This was the base of a successful first attempt at 13th of October 2008. Now I have my number!!!!

I passed the CCIE Lab Exam on the 4th of October, however I attempted the Lab on the 10th of September, strange?!! This is because I failed and then requested a reread and PASSED! I am so glad I requested the reread, otherwise I would have been practicing for the Lab right now! and guess what? I needed 9 marks based on the score report I got to pass, that was shocking...
I would like to thank Internetwork Expert for the excellent practicing material you have, it does not only has what all you need to pass the CCIE, but also it enables you gain great knowledge and experience in your career life, and I BELIEVE that your labs specially your Mock Labs are much more realistic and benefits all CCIEs much more than the real exam Lab, personally I am very happy that I bought 4 of your Mock Labs as I learned A LOT from them.
Finally I would like to thank my family for supporting me to get this far, and all of my friends that helped me in my preparation for the CCIE.

I passed my CCIE R&S lab on my first attempt in San Jose, thanks to your great products. Your workbooks were very structured with clear explanations of various technologies and concepts. Your mock labs definitely were ego-busters and really helped exposed my strengths and weaknesses. Understanding what the CCIE lab was really all about was a great first step as I started this journey. I now firmly believe that there is really no fancy trick to passing the lab except a deep understanding of the technologies, their applications and proper troubleshooting/verification techniques.
Thanks again, Internetwork Expert for helping me through this amazing journey and I definitely recommend your products to anyone who is willing to put their time and work into it.

Hi Guys, Passed my R&S Lab exam today on my first attempt. Your workbooks and COD were the major contributing factors to my success. Without them, I would have had some serious gaps in my preparation. I can highly recommend your materials to any potential CCIE candidates. Many thanks.

I would like to take a moment to thank the Internetwork Expert team especially the 2 Brians and Alissa. I passed my R&S lab this past Friday in San Jose, CA on my second attempt.
The materials offered by Internetwork Expert is second to none. Without the materials and advices, my preparation time could easily have doubled or even tripled. The systematic approach and detailed explanation from Advanced Technologies Class on Demand have made the technologies so much easier to learn and understand. All the workbooks are written with great care and offers a feel for the real exam. Security is coming up next and see you soon Internetwork Expert.

Internetwork Expert was instrumental in my preparation for the CCIE Routing and Switching lab exam. The materials were informative and very representative of what was involved in the actual lab exam.
I also had the pleasure of attending the 5-day boot camp with Brian McGahan, who in addition to being one of the fastest typers in the universe, was also very knowledgeable and gave great advice for the day of the lab.
Thank you to Internetwork Expert!

I would like to say thank you to the entire Internetwork Team. I passed my CCIE R&S this past Thursday on my first attempt. I definitely couldn't have done it on my own without your products and classes. A very good friend of mine passed his CCIE with your end-to-end self-paced program and highly recommended it to me. I am very happy I took his advice. I really liked the Class-On-Demand and Lab Workbooks. I also took your mock lab class earlier this year and that was extremely beneficial as well.
With all the labs, including the mock labs, I probably did about 35 different labs and about a dozen of those I did twice. When I did the real lab I felt like it was nothing really new because I had already done so many before that. The way I looked at it, while it takes many people multiple times to pass, I already had about 50 realistic labs as practice for it - many of those harder than what the real lab would be.
It worked for me and I would recommend it to anyone who is pursuing their CCIE. The entire IE team including the two Brians and the support staff are great. Both the Brians bring a wealth of knowledge from both the lab and real-world perspective and they cover the different topics very well. They teach you about all the topics and you really do learn about them as opposed to learning just how to pass the lab. As for the support staff, I have talked with Alissa and Mike and they were both extremely helpful. You guys are great.
I am going to take some time off from studying and doing labs but if I do decide to pursue another track I will definitely come back to Internetwork Expert. Thanks guys for all your help!!!

Thank for having an extremely good product that had helped me through my final days of CCIE training. Your 8 hour Volume 2 labs were my primary training for the last month or
So and gave me a great replica of the flow of the exam. It also helped me prepare myself for the process that I would follow in the real lab. Your Core Labs and Mock Labs were my gauge of readiness leading up to the real exam. Your bringing on of Scott Morris to the crew I think solidified an already solid group of Internetwork Experts and I respect his opinion very much. Please continue to put out products that challenge and push us.

I really like working with Internetwork Expert products. As I now know the labs measure really good to the CCIE lab. I went to the 12 day bootcamp with the fantastic instructors Scott Morris and Brian McGahan in Reno. The bootcamp really helped me to reach the able-to-pass level and the mocklab week really trained me in a good exam strategy style so I got a good routine in making 8 hour long exams.
I started with networking in October 2006 when I bought a CCNA book just out of global interest, before that I was an MCSE and worked with servers and did some programming.
After I got my CCNA I got a full-time job in networking and went on with CCNP and when I finished that I immediately started my CCIE study and within 10 months I got my number in first attempt at the age of 21! And I definitely know that I found my passion!

I bought the IE workbooks after a friend recommended them over a year ago. I didn't pass on the first time, but that was not the fault of the workbooks. I didn't even finish all 20 labs, and thought I could still wing it. Needless to say, it wasn't what I expected. I went back and hit the books hard, bought rack time -- and went through all 20 labs multiple times.
Thanks to the easy to use rack time, and eventually the dynamips labs, I passed finally. It definitely was because of Internetwork Expert. Thanks guys!

My story is very simple.
I had big doubts on becoming CCIE. And I was not sure in myself up until the time that I first talk to Michael Bishop. He re-assured me that Internetwork Expert has an excellent training package and with hard work on my part I will succeed. Everything was true. I ordered the program and studied hard. The quality of the materials are excellent - everything is there - theory, practice labs, verifications. I also attended to boot camp where I got the chance to meet Brian Dennis, Petr Lapukhov and other members of the Internetwork Expert team. I thank all of them because they played a major role in my success, especially to the super genius Petr - for his enormous dedication and help.

Internetwork Expert,
What a journey this year has been. I have been close to making a serious attempt at the CCIE R&S lab exam for the last couple of years but never felt like I was really ready. I used 'other' training materials from your competitors as well as training classes from Cisco authorized training partners but none of them prepared me for the lab exam like IE's products did.
There are no shortcuts when it comes to passing the lab exam - hard work, self-sacrifice, study, and practice, practice, practice are the key. You provide a mountain of material to master and as you have said before - if everyone makes the effort, they will be rewarded by passing the lab exam as a by-product of their understanding of the technologies and how they operate together - not because they can deal with scenarios they have seen before in practice lab after practice lab. The real exam was a perfect example of this - it will test the limits of your fundamental knowledge, so come prepared and be confident in what you have learned.
I passed my CCIE R&S lab in RTP on my first attempt and would be honored to be added to 'the list'!
Sincerely,

I've begun my preparations for the lab in January and purchased a package of workbooks Vol1 and 2 plus Class-on-Demand subscription.
Later I decided to add to this workbook Vol 3. I've done almost all of the Mock Labs. I've attempted the first lab exam in June, but failed. Without wasting time I continued working on the labs, doing again Vol 2 and 3, and then putting emphasis on the topics I felt weak in from Vol 1. I continued listening to the CoD lectures, finding reminders and explanations to different nuances I missed earlier. Working on the full-size labs improved my time management during the lab, while concentrating on

I am CCIE 21784. After passing my written exam I needed to find a product that would fit my needs of not having a hard-wired rack. I came across Internetwork Expert's Dynamips product. This product was amazing. I could work on my labs anytime anywhere. I did read all the recommended reading list but these books were just for theory. Dynamips bridged the gap between theory and practical and played an integral role in my success.

Just wanted to let you know that I passed my CCIE R&S Lab yesterday (CCIE 21709 is my number). A path to my success is shown below as I believe you may like to know about success stories and study plans.
I have been working with Cisco Networking equipment since year 2000 and started at the bottom working with relatively simple low-end ISDN routers (Does anyone remember the Cisco 700 series routers :o)). Over the next 7-years I followed the standard certification path of attaining CCNA,CCNP and CCIP, but like so many others I couldn't really commit the time to studying for CCIE due to that fact I was to busy at work.
In January this year I decided that for once in my life I would put myself first and I took the CCIE written exam. At the end of February I had received my Internetworkexpert workbooks and put a training plan in place...
...All of the hard work above paid off and I attained my CCIE R&S number this morning. I thought the exam was tough, but fair (not as tough as IE Labs).
I cant say enough about the Internetworkexpert material and approach to studying. My studying was based on the Internetworkexpert CCIE end-to-end program and I believe the structured approach was key in me passing the exam.
A very special thanks to Brian Dennis and Petr Lapukhov who were my instructors on the bootcamp in April and the Mock Lab week in June. Their experience and knowledge was very valuable to me. I didn't have the opportunity to meet Brian and Scott but know they are both equally valuable assets to the IE team. Thanks also to Michael Bishop who was my IE Sales advisor who was very helpful in setting up my IE CCIE end-to-end program.
Thanks a lot and good luck to you all.

My story is very simple;).I started 10 month ago to prepare for the CCIE lab. By that time I was already CCNP and I had a good background in Switching as I'm mostly working with this part of the technology.
At the beginning I was a bit confused with what should I start but a friend of me proposed me to try the Internetwork Expert because they have a Workbook with the labs which can be tested completely with Dynamips.
I've bought the book and start working....and working,..and study...and.....
Basically there is no other secret out there than practice + understanding the technology.

I started to prepare for the CCIE in November, 2007. I used Lab Workbook 2. My first attempt was on 17th December 2007. I hadn't done more than 10 labs at the time and of course, I failed:) After completing the whole book and the Lab Workbook III (only core part) i did a second attempt (failed) and a third (one month later) which i passed. Thank you for the nice preparation guides, they are really helpful. If i chose to go for a second track, I will definitely use your products!

Thank you to the Brian's for developing great products that make you learn the technology and not just memorize commands. The workbook volume 2 labs and mock labs were crucial to my success. I used these exclusively for preparation for both attempts. I also used the IE blog site which is a great resource. These products are amazing and a must have!

I felt incredibly prepared and confident going in to the exam thanks to the expert training by Brian McGahan and Brian Dennis. I knew as soon as I walked out of the lab that I had passed. Please keep up the great work, and I look forward to choosing Internetwork Expert again when I start the CCIE Security track!

I have successfully passed the CCIE RS lab at 31st July, Brussels. It was my first attempt. For my final preparation I have used your lab workbooks and rack rentals. Your prep materials are really great! Thank you and keep on the good work.

My story basically consist of 6 month of practice and 6 month working with Workbook 2. I took ALL MOCK labs and felt pretty confident before my first (failed) attempt. However , Internetwork Expert stuff , especially Mike and Petr Lapukhov help me to concentrate and finally pass my second attempt after 30 days.
Petr looked at my particular situation and give me advice , which finally made vital point in my success. I am still under impression of his level of expertise and I really value his advice.

Hello IE Team,
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 graduated from university last year. I had a new goal after I graduated, that was the CCIE R&S. I started my CCIE R&S journey with watching the CoD videos. It took me about 10 days to finish all videos with note taking. Then I started Workbook I. It took me about 1 month to finish all the minilabs in it. After that I started working on Workbook volume II. It took me another month to finish most of it. The third month i went back to study WorkBook I because I felt its importance in emphasizing the basics. The fourth month was the time to take the exam. I signed up to take it in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia mobile CCIE lab. It was required from me to pass an assessor exam which was a mini CCIE exam. I took that exam and I scored the required grade. My exam was confirmed on 20th of July 2008. I had 20 days to go, I spent the next days revising WorkBook I and WorkBook II. Also I spent some time going through Cisco Documentation CD. The night before the exam I slept at 10 p.m and next day started my exam at 7:30. I had a good start but faced some problems before the break. After the break I fixed everything and completed all the sections 1 hour before the time is up. I had 1 hour to revise everything. The next day I received the good news that I've become CCIE #21536 :)

I passed my CCIE written in January 2007, and then due to work commitments, started to think about studying for the lab around October 2007. I bought the CCIE R&S end to end program from Internetwork Expert and found the material outstanding. Both the lab workbooks and the COD were particularly thought provoking and often led me to hours of extra reading on the DOC CD and internet just to clarify in my mind the concepts and particulars of the different features. This was great and by the time I actually sat the lab exam, I was confident that the Internetwork Expert materials have given me sufficient breath and depth of understanding to tackle anything that the lab throws at me. I am glad that my confidence was well placed, and passed the lab attempt on my first try. Studying for the CCIE is very time consuming and lots of sacrifices had to be made, but it has been very worthwhile and made me a much better engineer in the process.

Dear Internetwork Expert Team,
Finally I got the number #21518 passing the Routing&Switching CCIE lab at 17th July, Brussels.
Your workbook (with dynamips) was a great tool of practicing, and also helped me to get the theoretical knowledge. I like the IE CCIE blog and the free seminars also! Thank you, keep up the good work!

When I joined Cisco in August 2007 one of the most challenging task they gave me was to pass CCIE lab within first year. At the end it turned out to be less than 3 months to pass it. I couldn't imagine how to approach it at that time, but then I attended 2 day strategy bootcamp lead by Brian Dennis. His advices and strategy tips really help me to stop loosing time and start my highly effective preparation. I started with CCIE R&S Advanced Technologies Class-on-Demand which is truly the best source of lab theory which make my life much easier so many times. After theory classes I begun to work on labs from Workbook Volume 2. Even though first few labs took me 2 days to complete one of them, I didn't give up and it paid off. 6 weeks before lab I attended CCIE R&S 5 Day Bootcamp lead by Brian McGahan in Amsterdam. Excellent Brian's experience and knowledge helped me a lot to fill understanding gaps and move time needed to about 8 hours. After bootcamp I focused only on labs from Workbook Vol.2 from where I completed almost all 20 of them. In the meantime I took 3 mock labs which turned out to be another great experience on my way to CCIE. Especially proctor's notes were extremely useful to realize how important are small details on real lab. And after less than 3 months of preparation with Internetwork Expert I passed my lab in Brussels on first attempt. Big, big thank you for your brilliant products and special thanks to both Brians for helping people with this industry the most difficult exam.
Internetwork Expert is the way to pass CCIE lab by strong understanding of technology and ability to configure, verify and troubleshoot them.
Thanks again.

It is very good material with in depth technical explanations.
I've first done the Internetwork Expert COD with as the next step dynamips labs in combination with labs on real routers/switches.

Thanks so much for your prep materials. I passed the CCIE R&S lab in Brussels on 11th July 2008. I can honestly say I could not have done it without you. I have experienced materials from a few vendors, including a worldwide classroom based learning provider and your test materials are far superior to anything else I have seen. I think the way your materials are laid out and presented means when you open the page in the real CCIE lab you breathe a sigh of relief. First class! I will be using you again and would recommend you to anyone!

Internetwork Expert COD (Class-On-Demand) and volume I work book labs are foundation of my preparation. They are excellent. In Volume 2, I practiced first 10 labs at least twice and practiced few labs from remaining Volume 2 and Volume 3 work books. Special thanks to both Brain's for your excellent materials and Stan Yee for the sales support.

The old me didn't need training and was going to get CCIE # under 10,000...My first start in datacomms was 1995...During two university degrees I completed the the Network Academy in 1999, and CCNA. Then there was the invaluable on the job apprenticeship and CCNP, CCDP, CCSP, MCP, GC in Project Management. Late 2004 after spending 18 months on a 3Com/Huawei router project for 1300 sites my CCIE written ran out & I attempted the lab which still had a bit of ISDN, ATM and voice in it. Despite the new router's IOS heritage, my poor preparation ensured a failure.The bleeding edge experience will not be forgotten though. Life then continued with a Masters in IT, marriage, a job change & 2 kids. Spare time was a thing of the past (how wasteful I'd been) and personal space was redefined to nocturnal hours. The free alarm clocks (children) guaranteed no sunrise was missed... 2008 saw me attend Internetwork Expert's 10 day bootcamp in Reno and my eventual success at the Routing & Switching lab in Sydney in July. I owe the opportunity to my wife & family, I am forever greatful. The dream has finally been realized & the dragon/monkey slayed. Now on to new goals & keeping high standards - in all realms of life. The lesson has been learnt.

I started working on my CCIE R&S exclusively with Internetwork Expert's material. I used all of the material I had access to : the audio classes, the classes on demand, the forums and mostly the lab workbooks. I found it all extremely well organized and easy to follow. After going through most of the labs, either in detail or just looking at the tasks in some cases, I felt ready for an attempt at the test. And I passed! There was nothing in the real test that was out of the blue, thanks to you guys. I have no doubt at all that if I was ever to attempt another CCIE track, I would come back to Internetwork Expert for study material. Thanks Again

I took my exam in SanJose yesterday, both of the proctors were nice, lab was cold but my hands were swetting all the day. They allow you to take coffee/drinks upto to your workplace which is nice, you also get a $10 coupon for lunch :)
Much relaxed now and need sleep for a week atleast before any new endeavors

Class on demand gives me more flexible in time, reviewing anytime I want on any topics and understanding and asking questions almost feel like we are taking boot camp in person.
Also thanks Internetwork Expert to keep up their latest technologies also updating day to day on their all products.

First off, my wife and GOD. If I don't mention her first, she might kill me and probably the same about GOD... O_o Next, Internetwork Experts ver 4 WBs and their Technology COD. I have the Brians' voices ingrained into my head. Brian Dennis, Josh Finke and crew from Internetwork Expert were nice enough to hook me up in the last hours. their materials were a huge success in passing the CCIE lab. Without their tools, it would have been a much harder journey. I already have the materials from Internetwork Expert for the SP track and will hit that at work starting this morning since this is what I do at work everyday and my boss will let me study while I lab it up on our 7604s. :) My plan is to have SP in 3-4 months as well. MMMmmm Knowledge, Watch your back Petr, I'm coming for your CCIEs and I'll probably pass up Brian Mcgahan in 6 months because he's a slacker. j/k man. ;) I highly recommend IE and all their training materials.

I'd like to thank the Brians for putting together a step-by-step program for the candidate who knows he/she would like to pursue the R&S CCIE, but isn't sure where to start. I used all three volumes and the CoD, and they all helped me master technologies to the point where when I finally tested, I had no fear of the technology whatsoever - I knew that as long as I read carefully they could not trick me anymore. Before I started using IE, I was puttering about, just trying to learn things on my own, and getting nowhere. Less than a year after buying the material I passed the lab on my first attempt.

Hello,
I have passed my SP lab exam 10 days ago from my first attempt. I wanted to thank the whole IE team for their great contribution and help.
I have used your two volume workbooks + CoD videos and around 75 online RACK sessions. I would like to give special thanks to the two Brians and Petr , those guys are really marvelous. They have authored a few lab scenarios in volume two lab workbook which are brilliant. They are more challenging than the actual lab exam.
I will certainly consider IE products in any new CCIE plans.
Thank you very much.

I followed the same technique as mentioned there. I would like to thank IE for their great

Couldn't have done it without your workbooks. The lab seemed easy after all those mocklabs. The main thing I learned on the bootcamp from you BD, was to keep it simple. It's a shame you can't see your score if you get a PASS.
Put me up on the top of your giant list for my 15 minutes of fame.
Will see you in October for a beer or three.
Cheers dudes.

Dear Brian, Brian, Mike and everyone at Internetwork Expert....
It is with great joy and jubilation that I make the announcement that I have successfully passed the CCIE R&S lab on Friday May 16, 2008 and I am proud to wear the badge of Cisco CCIE number 20854, after a number of attempts(too many for my liking)!!!
It has been a huge learning curve for me throughout this whole process and I can say 'thank you' for providing me with the complete tools for acquiring the knowledge and understanding of this broad topic. Without the great teaching and explanations in depth of all the technologies required for the lab but also furthermore for the opportunity to face real world application, situation and scenarios and to be equipped with a foundation of information and technical understanding that I could find nowhere else.
You Brian's are the number one instructors out there and the service, advice and consultations provided by Mike and his crew has been top class from the beginning. I am planning to make use of the COD course's for my future endeavors as a reference tool as I continue to expand my current level to a professional scale and I know that I will make use of the other products that are available, some of which I already have been a subscriber to, namely, Voice COD and Service Provider COD. Once again, thank you for conveying your knowledge and experience to us but moreover for maintaining the highest standards of teaching and having the best possible information and quality delivered to us regularly!

Thanks for the awesome products! I used the COD, Workbooks Version 4 of Volume 1,2 and 3. Toward the last month I used 4 of the Mock Labs. These were very helpful for finding weaknesses and building confidence. I went to San Jose yesterday, May 5th and was able to pass the Lab on the first try thanks to the preparation I received from IE. I will not think twice on where to go when I go for the SP or Security.

InternetworkExpert.com was definitely a part of my success. (...) I used material from all 3 volumes of the IEWB series, did 3 IE mock labs, and did a bit of COD.

Thank you very much for the excellent study material without which I would have had no chance of passing my CCIE R&S Lab.
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 was much better at theory , so i decided to start practicing the full scale labs . I used Dynamips intensively for the labs (...) After practicing for 2 months (...) I started finalizing my preparation . I practiced 12 hours on racks daily plus reading Cisco documentation and Internetwork Expert blog. Then I decided to take the Mock Labs from Internetwork Expert. I took three of them . These mock labs are excellent. There are a lot of benefits of Mock Labs: one of them is you can discuss the problems with the proctor and he will explain everything very well, which is excellent! I performed well in mock labs which gave me the confidence plus I rectified my mistakes! In my opinion, Mock labs are more difficult than the actual exam, as they claim ! (...) Finally I attempted the lab on 23rd April. I followed exactly what Brian recommends in the Blog. I made my own diagram, a task table and I read the whole lab before doing any configuration. It took me 30 minutes and I didn't worry cause I knew that I can finish the lab within 8 hours ( i got this confidence due to the mock labs ). After 30 minutes i started the lab and i finished it in 5 hours. (...) It was my plan to pass at the first attempt and I worked really hard for it ! Thanks to my brother who was always there for motivation and I can't forget Internetwork Expert. They are excellent people and doing excellent job ! i strongly recommends every candidate to select IE for their preparation ! Thanks once again to all IE team !

I am extremely pleased to share with you that I have cleared my CCIE R&S Lab and got certified as CCIE # 20581. This was in the first attempt after I started using Internetwork Expert training materials.
I am very thankful to both Brian Dennis and Brian McGahan for creating brilliant scenarios and workbook that had helped me tremendously to pass the lab.
I look forward to start preparing for my SP Lab immediately and over the course of next 3-4 days I would get in touch with your sales team separately on that.
Thanks once again for all support and help that I received from the Internetwork Expert team.

On Apr 18th I have passed my R&S with much credit to your Lab Workbooks Volume I and II. They helped me develop my learning process and the way to approach the lab in both time and structure.
The Lab Workbooks helped me understand and learn new subjects and overall I could not have done it without them. Thank you.

A quick thank-you to all at Internetwork Expert for your excellent products which helped me finally pass the CCIE R&S yesterday in Brussels.
Your workbook labs were great and really push me that extra step I needed to pass the lab. The mock labs were realistic and made me aware of the attention to detail one needs in the lab.
It's been a long while coming but definitely worth the wait. Rest assured I'll continue to recommend Internetwork Expert products!

Thought I'd let you know that I passed the lab in Brussels yesterday!!! I can't quite believe it, to be honest, I'm over the moon. Thank you for an excellent bootcamp, I certainly picked up a couple of things that helped me out. Ultimately it's down to the End-to-End Self-Paced program that got me the pass (that and a little bit of hard work!!). Once I've calmed down and decided which way my career is going to go and decide to pursue another CCIE, I will most certainly be coming back to you!

Hi,
I passed the CCIE Lab on Sunday April 06, 2008 in Dubai and felt you should know.
I want to thank you very much for your part in the making of this. I used your workbooks (Vol 1 -3), Dynamips workbooks, COD, etc.
Even though I failed the first time with your products, I reckoned it was because I hadnt given much time into studying and preparing. I had skipped several labs in your workbooks and fast-forwarded or skipped several slides in the COD. Tough work schedules you know?
For my second attempt, all I did was spend much more time with the IE COD and Cisco DOC CD topics very well, especially on my weak areas and labbed some tasks on dynamips.
At last, I have a number. You wont believe I'm weeping at this good news!
Greetings from the people of Ghana, West Africa.

Brian and Brian,
I was in the March 2008 12 Day Bootcamp with you guys. I truly believe that you guys helped me finalize my lab preparation. Before the class I knew I was prepared for the lab, but by the end of the class I knew I was ready to pass my fourth attempt. On April 6th, I did just that. I stuck to my plan that I adopted from you guys and it paid off with a PASS.
I would like to thank both of Brians and all the employees at IE for putting out amazing products that I used in my preparations and for being incredible teachers as the 12 Day Bootcamp was the final thing to push me over the wall to success.

I just wanted to share my joy with you guys one more time ! yes I did it, almost 5 months after I passed my R&S, I just passed my CCIE Security as well, and again, your products were the main reason why !
for the security I used only your rack rentals and the Volume 2 workbook, but oh boy that document is well done and the labs are way more difficult that the real one. I relied mostly on the Cisco website as a replacement for the Volume 1 workbook. But again, hands down to the Brians, and also I learned that the incredible Scott Morris is now part of the team, this is unfair to the competition (just kidding) . You are great and please remain great, my next step is either Voice or Service Provider, but for now, I will take a rest ( a year or two, unless I decide to take my career another direction sooner than that , which I seem to do a lot lately ). In any case whenever I decide to come back to the cisco certification scene, you guys definitely will be my reference !!!

I started on this path by accident. I enrolled in a Written Boot camp in early 2005, with another company and was able to pass the written fairly easily. Then some of my co-workers recommended the Internetwork Expert End-to-End Program, and I went ahead and purchased the package. I spent many hours going through the classes. I found the classes both informative AND eye-opening.
Although I have been working in the industry, designing
and implementing networks for 12+ years, there was a LOT I was unfamiliar with. In the spring of 07, I set a stake in the ground to try to pass the lab in May. I went through several labs, and a mock lab from IE. The Mock Labs gave me a pretty fair indicator of what I still needed to work on.
(...) I had practiced the techniques that the Brians promoted, I had
been boning up on my services, and I passed with flying colors (Or at least an 80). (...) I liked all of the labs that I worked on, some more
challenging than others. One that I think helped open my eyes to other possibilities (in Layer 3) was Lab 12. I liked how it had two separate routing AS's and they didn't get redistributed, but used BGP - I recommend that one to get a grip on routing protocol interaction. Thanks again for all of the assistance. I know I will always recommend Internetwork Expert to anyone looking to pass this test.

Just wrote in to say THANK YOU!!! I cleared my CCIE in Brussels on 30th of March 2008. My number is 20392.
The journey was tough, but the CCIE R&S End-to-End package that I purchased was of great help. I have come across so many of my colleagues who are good with the implementation, but do not understand the theory behind it.. The Internetwork Expert package gave me the leading edge.
The Class-on-Demand (CoD) and the workbooks were awesome. I studied the CoDs, practiced the 20 labs in detail. In fact I have never come across such meticulously planned study material. I have been recommending the same to everyone around me.
A big THANK YOU to both the Brians , to you Kady, and the whole Internetwork Expert team for your invaluable contribution.

Hi,
It has been a wonderful trip rewarded by my R&S CCIE pass first shot on March 11th in Dubai, I have to say it hasn't been possible without your COD, Vol I, Vol II in particular and the rest of your product lines in general which I bought them all. The COD is a master piece that I have watched over and over and made tons of notes that helped me master the technologies and not merely configuration. I'd recommend your COD or All.

Brian and Brian,
I want to thank both of you for all of your help and your products. I passed my R&S lab on Mar 10th in RTP. This was my 4th attempt total but only my second after using your products. To be honest I should have passed the previous time but had a complete brain dump and could not answer a simple question that I had done before multiple times. The two previous times I used a different vendors material and a different approach. That being said until I started with your end-to-end program I had many holes in my knowledge on certain topics which your COD and boot camps pointed out to me then filled those knowledge gaps. I was blown away with your professionalism and the way that you conduct business. No matter how dumb I thought the question was you always seemed to put it in a way that made it seem like it was great that I asked the question. I have had other experiences where I was made to feel like an idiot for even asking the question. My situation has been a little different because my job has me in the Middle East quite often supporting our troops but your products were the perfect thing for me to use while traveling.I would highly recommend you to anyone and have the other 7 engineers here using your products. I will be going for my service provider after a little break so I will be talking to you again in the future. Thanks again for all of your help.

I passed the R&S exam on Monday. It was a long and tiring journey but in the end everything has paid off.
I used your R&S workbooks (all of them) for practice and I feel that the coverage of technologies - breadth and depth - it's outstanding.
I used the free IE seminars also, and I will surely use - and suggest to use for anyone - Advanced Technologies Class on-demand for any further studies.
Cheers! for the Brian's and all the IE team members for the excellent work!!!!.

I'm a great fan of your products and support, and I owe a huge part of my success to you, Brian D., Brian McG. and all the helpful and knowledgeable staff at Internetwork Expert.
I have used the entire line of products that you offer for R&S, and I've been amazed at the quality of all of them!! Without exception, I would recommend everything, and especially the Class-on-Demand really is a jewel, at all stages of the preparation.
By using your awesome products, and by investing also a great deal of my time, commitment and talent, I today became CCIE #19943, Routing & Switching.

Looking forward to starting the Service Provider track.

Hey guys,
I wanted to drop you a note thanking you tremendously for the study materials you have put together. I think it woud have been impossible to start studying and pass the R&S lab within 6 months without your ATC-COD, and Version 4 Workbooks Vol. 1-3. The only thing required from the candidate is time and effort.
I will probably start my SP studies in February, and will definietly be purchasing the same package from you. I am really excited about becoming a double-CCIE. :)

I sat and passed R&S (#19880) at RTP yesterday. Made those elusive numbers under 20,000. Thanks immensely for the great material on which all my preparation was based. The 2 week boot camp was an excellent focused retreat in which I consolidated my knowledge and eliminated my weak areas for the real thing. The timing of it and your advice — to arrive ready to take the exam the week after — was appropriate.

On January 14th, 2008 I passed the CCIE R&S lab exam making me CCIE #19817 and Canada's 635th CCIE. I need to thank Internetwork Expert as I used workbook version 4.1 volumes I, II & III plus version 4.5 of the Advanced Technologies Class on Demand to help me pass the lab.
The workbooks were great as they helped me learn all of the technologies I didn't know and gave me a refresher of the technologies I did know. More importantly, the workbooks helped me refine my test taking process. I went into the lab with a lot of confidence after working through these workbooks.
I found the Class on Demand to be invaluable. There were a few topics that I struggled with no matter how much I read the documentation and tried labbing them up. The CoD really cleared the air for me on these topics and I went into the lab exam knowing I could answer any question on any of those topics.
Thanks to Internetwork Expert, I too am an expert.

Thank you very much every one who helped and answered my questions on this list.

In fact, I have decided to continue using the sessions until my subscription expires, just to keep refreshing that foundation.

Hi all,
I wanted to thank you ALL for your really great material. No need to tell you how those products have played a key role in passing the CCIE lab. It's clear that the lab workbook lab has been carefully think (designed) to lead you into problems, this is excellent because there are a lots of things that you can't get just by reading documentation. I am still thinking about the preparing for the SP but not sure since I feel I need a rest, anyway if I decide to go for it I will definitely come back to you and also will not hesitate to recommend you to other people. ... Keep on the hard work, you are on the right road to be the best of the best, well done all.

Hi Brians,
I do not know how to say thank you. What a good Xmas present I have given to myself thanks to your products. I passed on my 3rd attempt, on my first two I used another popular vendor and although I thought I knew my stuff, I failed on the first two attempts. Then I found you guys and ohh God I used the technology Labs and the Workbooks together with Dynamips. It cemented all my knowledge potholes. Then I took the mock exam, although I failed that, the review showed me where and how I was losing points.
Long story short I passed on Friday and the number is 19643 and hey I just realised I may be the first Ghanaian CCIE!!!!!! (From Cisco's Stats there is no recorded person for Ghana)
Hooray

I have passed my Security and SP labs in such a short time after gaining my RS CCIE certification. I have had that confidence by means of Internetwork Expert documentation and racks as I prepared for RS. I have found whatever I look for. I would like to thank Internetwork Expert for all the knowledge and tools they provide me. I am going to prepare for the Voice lab soon and I am sure Internetwork Expert will give me all I need.

Hi,
I would like to thank you for the excellent study material that helped me to successfully pass the security lab in Brussels on my first attempt. Nothing that the lab asked for scared me or caught me off guard - in my opinion this is because of excellent preparation with the help of your materials.

Gents,
Thought I'd let you know that I sat the CCIE lab in Brussels yesterday and passed (no. 19501)! - To say I'm over the moon would be a slight understatement. I was extremely honoured to meet you guys in Reno and at that stage I never thought I could get close to the same level of knowledge that you all had.
In the intervening period, I've been hard at work on the IE labs. - Basically completed all 20 and went back to the core ones mentioned by Brian. I took all the labs at my own pace, studied technologies I was weak on and took copious notes! The week before going to Brussels, I read through all the lab sections on IP services and ensured I could implement all of these without referring to the DocCD. To be honest, it was only really at this stage that I felt it had all come together. I went to Brussels for the weekend and used the time just to read over the notes I'd made.
Thank you guys for your various notes of encouragement on route and good luck for those still to get through. (If I can get through anyone can!).
A special thanks to the 2 Brians from IE. - I've followed your program more or less all the way through from the online ATC and definitely could not have done this without you. To my mind, you've got a great product delivered by a genuine company that offers excellent value for money. I've got the number now, but I honestly feel that I'm a better engineer having gone through this. - I'd recommend you to anyone.

I've passed my CCIE R&S lab exam from a couple of weeks, your CoD is a very valuable product, and it is sincerely one of the reasons of success, i am wondering if you have a similar product for SP, as i am going to prepare for it in the next couple of months.
At the moment i am not sure of Brian Dennis and Brian Mcgahan emails, i've guessed them :) , please make sure to forward this thank you email to them if my guessing was wrong.
Thank you very much for making a difference. I really can't imagine my CCIE road without you guys.

I passed last Tuesday in San Jose, it was a long journey with a lot of up and downs in the middle, I took the written in sept 2007, this was my second attempt after I have failed in RTP last may, the mail with the result arrived at 1:30 am on Wednesday I could not believe that it was there so fast, seen the words pass was the most amazing thing I just could not believe it, actually I still cant
The materiall that I used was IE workbook , the Brians are awesome, doing the tech labs and full labs really help me out to understanding the technologies.
The book that became my best friend for the last months was the CCIE R&S second edition I believe the third edition is out there already.
I don't know how many hours spent working on labs I guess I lost the count after the first month
I used rack rental times, they are awesome I never had a problem and the support in case something went wrong is great, they answer my questions in no time.

Thank you very much for the great material.

Well, after 8 months and 4 attempts I finally passed on 11/21. I found out Thanksgiving morning and it was the best Thanksgiving I ever had. I passed the written in January and spent the next couple months putting together a home lab. I really started studying in April and took my first attempt in mid May. I came really close to passing with about 75 points. I thought sweet I will nail it on my second attempt, well not so much. I took it again in June and failed miserable not even 50%. So I really buckled down and got after it and took it again in August. Well I got about the same score as my second attempt. So I really started doubting it and took a few weeks off to regroup. So after the summer was over I got back after it and had an October date scheduled, but my wife broke her leg and I had to take care of her and the kids for a few weeks until she got back on her feet. So I rescheduled for Nov. I was thinking if I don't get it this time I am going to have to take a break. All the studying was really starting to affect my family life as Daddy was locked in the office every evening and all weekend.
What got me the entire time was question interpretation. I felt like I knew the material the entire time and had a good base of knowledge. My problem I think was question interpretation. On my 4th attempt it was like I could see through the vague wording and finally understood what they wanted. I only asked the proctor 2 questions as I found it pretty clear.
To all those that are struggling with this I hear ya. But just know if you stick with it you can pass.
What I used to pass:
- 10 years experience designing and implementing Cisco networks for various Fortune 100 companies.
- Internetwork Expert V4.0 workbook and the Advanced Technologies VOD and the 5 day bootcamp VOD. These are really great products and I learned immensely from them. I would highly recommend their material for learning the technologies...
- The Cisco Press CCIE R&S book. Good for the written and has some good tables for reference.
- I built my own home lab made to the IEWB V4.0 format. I decided I wanted my own lab that I could use anytime I had time to study and didn't want to deal with rack rentals or dealing with all the Dynamips issues.
- Finally but definitely not least was my wife. She supported me through the tough times and entertained two kids every evening and every weekend for about 8 months straight. I could not have done it without her.

I cannot still believe, but Lab Score says that I got my number: CCIE # 19404 !!!
I cannot join words together, my brain stopped and my fingers shivered. Sorry from everyone.
I took lab exam today in RTP and this is my first attempt.
Firstly...I want to thank God.
I want to thank my wife, my family and my two daughters. I could not pass without their support. When I started my lab preparation, one of my daughters was just born. Even my other daughter (who is 3 years old) supported me to work on my lesson. My family went to other location on every weekend to give me working chance. It was very difficult to separate from them.
I would like to thank Brian Dennis and Brian McGahan for their product: IE Workbook 3.0 and 4.0. Really, it was a great one.
I would like to thank proctors in RTP, especially to Howard.
And I would like to thank my boss and friends in my company. Their support was important.
I started my journey in 1999, I became CCNP in 2001 and lost in 2005. Then I became CCNP again and CCIP in 2006 October. I started my CCIE journey in 2006 November. Firstly I passed CCIE Written Exam then I established a home rack. At beginning I read, just reading. I read all books in CCIE lab lists, I think their number reached to 25. I bought IE Lab WB and tried to apply all information in my home rack. (2x3350, 2x2620, 2x2611 and other 2500 series) My rack was not enough to cover the whole subjects, but believe me if you know the technology and how to apply, you can cover them. I finished all 30 lab in IEWB Lab 3.0, I examined everthing and I ask myself: What did I learn, did I know really and can I apply them? I returned all equipments in home rack and continued working with dynamips. I finished 15 of IEWB Lab 4.0, I examined DocCD two times (Configuration guide and command references, but I used only two times in lab), I finished Cisco ASET labs and decide to take lab exam. There are many many subjects, I am 37 years old and I feel I will no be able to cover all of them even I am 50 years old. I went to RTP before two days. I tried to create my lab strategy last night. (At this point, I want to thank all of you, I learned many things in this group) In the real exam, I was so nervous in the morning. I tried to talk other candidates. My rules:
1- I read all questions, taking small notes.
2- I asked all questions that I cannot be sure.
I left two security questions, I had no enough time and they possibly cause I lose some other points.
Now, I want to sleep and go to my family as soon as possible. I will bring them to a short holiday.
I wish good luck to everyone. Take care of you!

Hello Experts,
I passed the lab last week on my first attempt. I would like to thank you all for sharing your expertise. I couldn't make this far without helps from y'all. I used the end-to-end program. It is really awesome. I didn't know where to start without this step by step guide. It helps me not only to configure the equipment but to understand the technology. The mock lab I attended a month before the exam also helps me pinpoint me weak points.
Thanks a lot.

I'm writing to you from Dubai airport to tell you ... I DID IT.
As of yesterday, Oct. 21st, I'm officially CCIE certified, proudly holding number 19158.
It was a great pleasure attending the class with you .. it was too much informative to me.. I really gained a lot.. I highly recommend your products specially, WorkBook and Mock Labs, I treated some Mock labs as a practice labs and I did them many times. I highly recommend your products not to pass the lab only, but to be real CCIE, planning for my Service Provider, I sure will continue working with you.

Just wanted to share my recent success with you all. I passed the R&S lab on my second attempt in Sydney on October 11th. I started studying for the lab exam in February this year, and have used many of your products over the last eight months, including the audio class, technology labs, core labs, full eight-hour labs, and several online mock lab exams. Thank you for the study material - it was invaluable in my exam preparation, and your customer service has been really good as well. As I am about to become the father of twins very shortly, I won't be studying much in the foreseeable future. But if I do get to tackle another CCIE track, you'll be my first port-of-call.

I got my CCIE on 4th October, CCIE #19008. My special thanks goes to Internetwork expert team, who has done a great job in providing me such a great product. IE end to end program has not only helped me in learning and understanding the technology but passing the lab also. Thanks for your excellent workbook and CoD.

Hi,
Just wanted to say you a big thank you for your books. Your books are superb on the market.
I passed the lab today in Sydney,R&S on second attempt. First time was too stressful. Anyway,your Lab Workbooks gave me the confidence I needed to complete the lab.
Thank you again.

Hi--
I just wanted to send a quick note of thanks to Brian and Petr for their excellent work in the mock labs, technology labs, and security advanced technologies class. Those materials were instrumental in my preparation, and they definitely paid big dividends.

Hello Brian,
Many thanks for this invitation, but passed the CCIE lab last week Monday October the 1st, so I have to concentrate on ongoing project now. must say that I found the Internetworking Expert V4.1 a real useful tool in my preparation.
To my opinion the best book on the market, certainly with the investment protection program. So, as my respect for you great work I recommended it to my Belgacom colleagues if they want to pass the LAB.

I attended the 12-day bootcamp session in June. I am happy to let you know that a couple of days ago I got CCIE certified !
Attending your bootcamp was a key success factor. Both Brians transmit so much knowledge and demonstrate a true level of expertise that motivated to increase my preparation towards the CCIE certification.

Guys....for soooooo long i have waited for this opportunity,...to tell you guys...I DID IT!! Hmmm.....what a journey. It all started in 2002 in a friend's car..i saw a CCNA book at the back of his car.... and after going through it for a while, i fell inlove with Cisco. I made CCNA in 2003 after i finished college....further pursued my Cisco career.....made CCNP in 2005...then i thot to myself.....hmmmm....."how 'bout i give the CCIE lab a shot"? I knew it wasnt gonna be easy, but i did not expect it to be that hard and gruelsome. I started studying fully for the lab in mid 2006, .....not until i met some Godsent gurus.
...
The Brians,....how can i ever forget you guys? I thot i knew Cisco,...not until i stumbled across the CoD and IEWKs......in my opinion, they are the best in the industry.....i'd recommend them time and time again.
...
Now i can go to bed with the mind that you dont have to be superhuman to make CCIE. Cheers.

Just cleared the Security track. I used IE v2 and v3 workbooks and
class on-demand. The IE tool I used the most was V5 WB I. For the
rest: practice (and again...), study group, Cisco site, Cisco Press.

Hi IE team,
After close to 6 years of getting my CCNP, and less than three years of getting my written exam, I have passed my R&S lab on my third attempt.
I had used your lab workbooks for over a year and a half, but to tell you the truth what actually made a big difference was the Advanced Technologies on-demand course. It was a whole new experience listening to Brians putting their experience verbally. I have learned lots of things, and realized the mistakes that I was doing. I also followed their strategy for the lab (reading it all through, putting a table with points of accomplished tasks, etc...). This proved greatly useful, although I was skeptic of such approach when I heard it.
Thanks guys, you are doing a great job. I am now more enthusiastic than ever to gain one or more additional CCIE certifications (security, and service provider).

Hi there. Thanks to your excellent materials as of Monday this week, I am now 18813 and all on my first attempt. I fact, I will say that your materials made the whole lab experience pretty easy, except you guys have a better command of language than Cisco when phrasing questions. Yes, money was made on me, but I would like to thank you for your excellent material and would love to use you for my other CCIE pursuits like SP ... Again, thank you and keep up the most excellent work and I will gladly tell all the great things about you everywhere.

Dear IE, Brian and Brian,
I am happy to tell you that I don't need this report anymore as I passed my R&S lab on September 10th. I used your wonderful WB v4.1 and took all your mock-labs. It looks like it has been the winning choice, so I thank you very very much.

IE Team (Brians, Kady, Support guys),
I really would would like to say thank you very much for making it possible.
I've used all your products and they are ALL worth it!!! I did NOT use anyother workbook or class on demand I only used your products they made it possible.
I started with the Class on Demand which is in my opinion the BEST material available for the CCIE preparation. You guys deserve the Oscar for this video. I watched it twice and I can easily still watch that many more time as anytime I learn a new thing !!! While I was watching the video I used the Audio Class which is perfect to enphasize the class on demand, what a great job by Brian M.
Then I moved to the Core WB... it does exactly what it is for. It has some redistribution scenarion that made me cry and feel I would never really understand redistribution but after doing it twice things become better. Great value for money !!!
You well known R&S WB... it doesn't need any comment as it's simply the BEST !!! When I was doing the real lab I thought I was doing one of your labs !!! That summarizes everything about the WB.
Mock Labs.... tough ones but great so have external view on my preparation. I used that like the real lab, I scheduled that to start at 11:00 am my time, did that for 4 hours, had a 30 min break, 4 more hours.
Bootcamp, I attended your 5 days bootcamp and that was fantastic!!! I had a really hard week as it was starting at 3:00 pm my time and due to the volume of the material covered (GREAT MATERIAL) I was not going to bed until 4:00 am and one day, on Thursday and thanks to Brian M 8 hour scenario it didn't go to bed until 9:00 am !!!! It was ALL WORTH !!!
I can only HIGHLY RECOMMEND ALL YOUR PRODUCTS but if I have to choose one I would say get the Class on Demand !!!! I will one day put it on a plasma TV and watch as if it was a movie. I'm a big fan of it !!!
Many thanks guys.

Many thanks for producing such detailed and challenging workbooks which have allowed me to reach my one of my professional goals.
My next goal will be the SP CCIE as I currently consult extensively in this area. I know that my first port of call will be your SP workbooks when I am preparing for my next lab!

Hello,
I'm a bit late in writing to Internetwork Expert, since it's already been three weeks since I passed the lab. I've used your classic Routing and Switching workbook, first in its version 3.0, then 4.0 and 4.1. As you can see, your investment protection program proved useful, and is one of the main reasons I chose your company over your competitors. Lower price was an other, your good reputation was of course beneficial, and the availability of the sample lab with complete lab diagrams and list of hardware was a nice move (this way I could slowly build my home lab while preparing for the written, then buy the workbook when I passed it and have then a nearly complete lab, and be ready to dive in lab preparation). ... I also used two graded Mock Labs, and they proved a good preparation for the lab. Brian, in the mock lab introduction, said that people who scored well on all four available mock labs always passed the lab; well, I passed both mock labs I ordered, plus the real one! (That wasn't my first attempt, though.)

Well well well ... my turn to post finally!
I still can't believe that this journey is over. I passed on second attempt in RTP last week. I studied for over 1200 hours in my lab for my first attempt five weeks ago, and obviously failed. Not because of the technology, but because of time management. This time, I managed to finish all the tasks, but did not have time to run my usual TCL scripts or verify my work. I started studying for the CCIE in July 2006 and passed the written exam at the end of October. For my studies, I used Internetwork Experts Class-on-deman, technology labs and workbook version 4. I read all their recommended CCIE books prior to starting the lab. And I also spent a good amount of time reading the DocCD.
I would like to thank all of my friends and family who were very supportive. I want to thank both Brians at Internetwork Expert for their amazing material. I also want to thank my study partner Eric Dobyns for his help in the last few weeks. Thanks to all the smart people on Group Study for posting and answering questions. And finally a big thank you to Howard the proctor in RTP for his patience (sorry if I asked so many questions).
Now that I have an incredible amount of spare time, I might go for the Juniper certifications since it's free.
Best of luck to all of you, in the end it will all be worth it.

Hello,
I'm writing this email to inform you that I finally passed the CCIE R&S Lab on August the 16th.
I've actually learned what people mean by constantly re-checking the Cisco Website to make sure it is real.
I used your R&S labs scenarios. I did the all the labs more than once. ... I also did one of the Mock Labs back in December and scored an 81. What was eye opening was that typing in the wrong 3rd octed on the NTP actually cost me 6 points.
Anyway thank you both along with IE for the excellent material. I learned some hard lessons along the way and will most likely use your material for the security when I get around to it.

I am little late in thanking everybody at internetworkexpert.com but it was just that I was too excited and there were lot of things I needed to do after getting my CCIE number CCIE# 18587. I have been postponing them for long. Anyways, Interneworkexpert.com End to End Instructor led is the sole preparation tool that I used. I think that says it all. Next, I will be looking at the Service Provider, hopefully, I will get the same excellent material from you.

I passed on my second attempt, special thanks to both Brian's at Internetwork Expert. Your workbook, COD and mock labs really took me out of my comfort zones. Its exactly what I needed to force me to study my weak points. I used these products extensively for close to 10x solid months. I lost track of how many hours of either reading and or labbing i did. It was probably somewhere in the 1200+ hours. I look forward to using your products for the next one.

I passed the R&S Lab yesterday in San Jose. I'm so amped that I can't sleep!
This was my third attempt and this came after a 2 year break in studying. I decided to focus on studies after passing the written (again) back in February. I pretty much studied every day for four months before the attempt. It was very difficult because I work in the TAC which means normally I have to work on cases from home :) I believe my TAC experience is what got me through due to the extensive troubleshooting skills required day-to-day.
I don't know what I can offer for advice that hasn't already been said...but I would say don't give up in your studies. It was very difficult to start all over again from scratch. Just stay focused and committed. Even when you attempt the lab, don't give up. There was at least a couple of points in the lab yesterday where I said, "I'm not doing well...I'm not going to pass."
But, I managed to push myself and the reward is so sweet.
For my studies, I used Internetwork Expert's Class-on-Demand and the Version
4 Lab Workbook. The videos were essential in my understanding of a lot of the subjects. I would also advise to use all of the usual Cisco Press books for reference. The Doc CD also serves as a great reference. After each workbook task, I would search the Doc CD to not only make sure I knew where to find the reference, but also to read up further and understand the feature or technology.
As if everyone didn't know, this is a great community of networking professionals. I found the answers to a lot of my questions here on Groupstudy. Thanks to all those who helped me and didn't even know it :-)

Hi I used your workbook 1 and 2
I passed the lab on my third attempt by just using your two Routing and Switching workbooks. I will be comming back for the security. You may place my name in your website. My first attempt I used ccbootcamps back in 2001 but failed the lab. I took 4 years off and then went and bought your workbook which I studied for year and half. I went for my second attempt on January 2007 and failed, my second attempt was on July 6 and made it. Thanks for the excellent workbook.

Hi,
I have been waiting to send this email, I have passed my R&S lab exam and got my CCIE#. It was a rough ride with ups and downs especially with the new format but at the end it pays to be a CCIE.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Internetwork Expert team for putting together such a wonder workbook with the new lab format. I have used this workbook as my main source for the lab exam preparation. The core labs helped me to solidify my routing and switching skills. The advanced labs were well designed to incorporate most of the features of the Cisco technologies. The solution guide is well prepared with good explanation as to why one particular method was chosen over the other and how to validate your solution.
Once again thanks to Brian & Brain for the excellent job that they have done. You guys ROCK!!!

Hi,
It makes me very happy to inform you that I have passed my CCIE lab. I bought IEWB Ver 1.1 three years ago and at that time I had no idea what I was getting into. I realized I had a lot to more learn and went about that and Cisco went about adding new and interesting topics to the CCIE Lab. You people too updated your workbooks regularly and the 2 year investment protechtion program was a boon.
May of this year I attempted the lab for the first time and I failed. There are lots of reasons for my failing, but lack of knowledge or subject matter expertise was not primary among them. It was more to do with nerves and comprehension of the lab questions among other things.
Yesterday I passed the R&S Lab in Dubai and I will be more than happy to recommend your workbook to my friends. Thank you.

May of this year I attempted the lab for the first time and I failed. There are lots of reasons for my failing, but lack of knowledge or subject matter expertise was not primary among them. It was more to do with nerves and comprehension of the lab questions among other things.
Yesterday I passed the R&S Lab in Dubai and I will be more than happy to recommend your workbook to my friends. Thank you.

I just want to start by saying thank you to everyone on Groupstudy, the guys over at InternetworkExpert, and all the 50 pound brains at my old shop. I passed my R/S lab yesterday and now I don't know what to do with myself. I think I'm in a bit of shock.
It really is all about psychology. I know everyone always says this, but I'm a firm believer now. I went in for my first attempt yesterday morning, but I'm convinced that the test really started four days ago when I stopped studying. I made it a point NOT to study the few days prior to my test. It was really hard not to go digging around in the doc cd or try and do one or two more labs, but that may have been the best decision I made over the course of my studies. It REALLY helped me keep the stress down and get a good nights sleep the night before.
Of course, the wonderful bed at the Residence Inn helped a little on that part, too. When I got to the testing facility in the morning at RTP, I was refreshed and ready to go.
Now for the study stuff. Dynamips is a godsend. It can be really annoying and really buggy. But for guys on a budget like me, it's perfect. Once you get the kinks worked out, you can lab anything up in minutes. I'll probably keep using it from here on out for quick testing at work. The workbooks from InternetworkExpert are wonderful.
Their advanced technology series are a great place to start your labbing. The core workbooks are excellent for building your speed.
And their main workbooks are great for building technique and developing good lab based critical-thinking. Reading the Doc CD can't be stressed enough, either. Use it as your primary source of information. It's your only asset in the lab, so why not base your studies off of it? It helped me a lot when I was unsure of something.
It should only take 15-20 seconds to look something up for clarification. Lastly, don't get overwhelmed. It's a lot of material. But, it's not so bad if you break it up.
I guess it's time to get back to the real world.
Thanks again for all your help.

Realizing my goal of passing the CCIE R&S lab wouldn't have been possible without the people and products available through InternetworkExpert. The depth and breadth of their practice labs were excellent tools in my preparation. In my preparation I heavily relied on your IEWB-RS Vol I & II workbooks and IEATC - COD. So many thanks to all the authors and congratulations on a good quality product.I passed my CCIE (R&S) exam on 13th June 2007.

I passed my RS exam yesterday in Dubai and now I am happy as I never was before. I was preparing for the exam for about 1.5 years and I failed the first attempt on Dec 14th Brussels. That was a good experience indeed and helped me alot about my considerations like how the lab is, and how the questions are worded etc. And also I saw that I had so much trouble with switching and security sections.
after that time I went towards my weakness and improve myself. Finally, I am done.
I almost did all IE v3 and v4 labs, and I must say that these guys really rock! not only for exam preparetion, but also for real life, I learned alot from these workbooks. And also I used some of the advanced features of routing in some of my real life projects and that provide really well solutions for me. I mean when doing your practice labs and wbs and etc, do not ever thing that this case has no relation with the real world scenarios and let it down. Try to understand how it works, try to understand the usage style of the technology in that case and you should be fine, on both lab exam and real world.
I give my special thanks to both Brians for their Mock lab. It was a great one and I think every candidate must take it at least once before the exam.
By the way, Brian says that, I did not see anybody who got 80+ from Mock lab and then failed the real one. Well, the tradition goes on ;)

I'm very delighted that it's finally done and give me an opportunity to take the next challenge, which is CCIE Security. Any suggestion how should I start? Any products/books/VODs that you can recommend?

Hey guys,
I just wanted to drop you a quick note to say thanks for the great material you provided - I used every one of them (VoD, audio, core wkbk, R&S wkbk, etc) . It enabled me to pass the R&S lab on the first try this past Friday. You were right on the money when you said the real lab would be equivalent to your labs with a difficulty of ~8.
Also, the mock labs were invaluable. The biggest lesson I learned from them was to double and triple check - which paid off in the real lab. In the real lab I finished all tasks with 3 hours left over for double checking and I found lots of mistakes...
Anyway, I sincerely appreciate the quality of your work. In fact, while I was sitting in the foyer waiting to go into the lab I was recommending your products to other candidates.
Keep up the good work!

Guys,
You guys are awesome. I passed my written in Dec, 06. After that, I purchase IEWB-RS and studied hard on it for about 6 months. I took the Lab at the end of May, and passed on my first attempt. I practiced with Dynamips and 2x 3750 switches, and went through the majority of the v3 workbook. Anything that I wasn't ready for after about 20 labs, I went the technology labs to work out the kinks. Also, your free v-Seminar on how to take the lab was INVALUABLE, as time and test management were key to me passing.
Anyways, thanks guys! You rock!

It was a long ordeal, 19 months from the start of working on the written exam until the final result but I finally finished the R&S lab exam in Brussels on May 22nd. As an American working and living in Amsterdam with a demanding work schedule I wasn't sure that all self study would prepare me adequately. Flying across the Atlantic to take a boot camp simply wasn't possible. I used InternetExperts products from beginning to end; technology labs, core labs, class-on-demand, and of course the workbook. These products lead me from the beginning to feeling fully prepared to tackle the real lab, and now you can add me to your list of CCIEs.
Having previously worked in the training field I can appreciate the enormous amount of work that goes into preparing a first class product on so challenging a subject. You've done a superb job and there is no doubt that without the range of products and the complete nature of the training I would not have been able to accomplish this goal.
I want to thank both Brians and all of the staff of Internetwork Expert for a job well done.

Finally after 8 months, 800 hours of rack time and a tough job of convincing my managers to buy IE workbook, I have finally made it by acquiring my digits (17937). Not to forget my daily Hassels at work. But after all this the feeling of being a CCIE itself gives me the sense of Fullfilment, but my journey will continue as SP is my next goal. But ofcouse after relaxing and enjoying the fact of being a CCIE.
I take this opportunity to thank the Brians's to develop such excellent products at internetworking experts especially their Class on Demand. COD has helped me in clearing my doubts technology wise and I made it a point to go through it again and again till it became clear in my head. The workbook is an excellent piece of volume and after doing these labs makes you feel confident on taking the real lab.

Hi Brians,
Just wanted to let you know that I passed R&S lab exam in Brussels yesterday on my third attempt. My CCIE number is 17906.
I purchased End-to-End program last year. I used IE material (COD, Tech labs, Core workbook, WB, Mock Labs) to prepare for the lab. IE CODs were invaluable and I learnt a lot from them. I think that explanations in your workbooks are awesome, and Mock Labs helped me in identifying the little stupid mistakes I make along the way and with time/stress management.
Keep up the good work.
Thanks

I passed on my first attempt on the 10th in Dubai; found the lab to be tough but fair.
For my preparation I used ... all of the IE products, COD was fantastic, pricey but well worth it (found the Brian's had a great sense of humor in V3J). I know that these guys are running a business but they definitely give way more than what's required and their passion rubs off on you.

I first got CCNA in December 2000. I finally obtained CCNP certification in May 2005. I passed the written exam in July 2006. I used the two "routing TCP/IP" books (which I think are essential prep material) along with the Cisco CCIE exam cert guide to prepare for the written ... I purchased Internetwork Expert CoD along with the R&S lab workbook. The Brians are awesome instructors and cleared up everything I wasn't sure about. I did some lab work the past few months but not a whole lot. I'm very comfortable with the IOS and have been usiing it daily for over 7 years so I didn't need so much practice as much as theory. Coming up to the lab date I mostly studied the Internetwork expert labs, studied the doc cd inside out, and listened to classes that I thought I needed.

Hi folks,
I took your one week bootcamp in Reno just before heading to my exam this 1st of may. So, all the strategy presented there, as well as the fine tuning of certain technologies evidenced by the complex scenarios in the laundry list presented to us as exercises helped me definitely go in there (for the 2nd time) in better shape than ever. Finally nailed it.
Many thanks!

After two years of late nights and weekends, $20K worth of equipment and studying material, I did it!! I dreamed about writing this email and finally got to do it ... Personally I think the InternetworkExpert ... people did a great job coming up with the training materials. I started with the IE labs ... Also the COD from IE clarified a lot of concepts I did not grasp fully. Before there are many things I knew how to do but did not fully understand "why". The COD really put me over the last hurdle (and I learned a few tricks along the way watch B and B typing on the screen :-)).
Thank you guys again, and hopefully we will run into each other in the future...

Hi!
Thank you for offering such good materials and allowing me to pass this dreaded exam.
I just used IEWB 4.0 and a couple of mock labs and I got the necessary preparation for passing at the first try!
One of the things that made me decide for IEWB over other vendors were the excellent explanations and breakdowns on the solutions guide, differently from other vendors that don't give such a detailed explanation.
The mock labs are an excellent way to prepare and build the mindset of concentration and speed you need in the actual lab. Also the breakdown session you get explained by Brian is very good.
Keep up the high quality standard and thanks for helping me on this difficult endeavor.

Hey Brian(s),
Just wanted to say thanks to those who helped me pass the lab last Thursday in RTP. This was my third attempt, but my first since the fall of 2004. A special thanks to the Brian's at InternetworkExpert ... I went through the labs from both vendors noted above and the Class on Demand from IE. I have nothing but great things to say about their R&S products.
I used the Core and Technology Labs from IE. These products were great, because I really was only getting about 4-6 hours a week in studying (other than the NMC classes below) and these products allowed me to focus on my speed and my weak areas.

Hi IE,
I have passed two CCIE lab exams recently :-) March 2007 - R&S June 2007 - Security
For R&S track I used Advance Technology Labs and two Mock Labs. I found them very usefull, tech labs for review for single technologies and Mocks for verification of my preparations status.
For Security preparations I used CoD, current workbook (technology and mock labs) and remote racks. I found them all very usefull as well.

Initially my score report had indicated that I did not pass and through the breakdown of percentages I had determined that I was about 3 points from passing. So under the advice from a colleague, I had submitted for a reread and I also scheduled my next exam for March 12th. On March 6th, my reread results came back and showed my reread was successful and I had passed. My CCIE number is 17516. I wanted to thank both of you for your great products. I began my lab preparation back in June of '06 by purchasing your version 3 workbook along with the Class on Demand. While gathering equipment for my home lab I began preparing by reading the usual Cisco Press books as well as utilizing your COD. The COD is a great product and I would definitely recommend it to anyone pursuing their CCIE. It helped close many gaps that I had in my knowledge and solidified the knowledge that I did have. I decided to follow the advice from Brian Dennis and followed his guide "How to pass the Routing and Switching CCIE lab exam." So in September I also purchased the Core Lab workbook along with the Advanced Technology labs. From September through the end of January, I knocked out all of the labs that Brian had suggested in his guide. With any topic I had trouble with I went back to the books and reviewed the class on demand. This helped fill in the gaps and made me comfortable with a particular technology I was having trouble with. After every task I would verify my solution was correct before I went on to the next task. I applied this same verification process in the lab exam and I believe this is what made the difference. My last week before the exam was spent relaxing and making sure I got enough rest. Thanks again for your wonderful products and I will definitely consider you guys in the future for other certifications that I may pursue.

I have passed the R&S LAB on 23rd Feb in Brussels. Your R&S workbook was the key in my passing the lab at my first attempt. I have only completed the Vol1 Labs, and have a look the technologies and solutions in the Vol2 Labs. I will/do strongly recommend Internetwork Expert's R&S Workbook to anyone. It would be very difficult have passed were it not for Internetwork Expert. You guys rock!!!

I passed CCIE SP lab at Sydney on May 26, 2008, 10 months of studying after R&S. It was a well prepared lab with lots of tricky points. But I am very happy that I passed it on my first attempt. (...)
Internetwork Expert CCIE SP Workbook was an excellent
resource. I solved all the ten labs multiple times. I considered all configurations options and did more testing so that different solutions give different spot hidden issue. They were excellent...really. I give my special thanks to Brian Dennis, Brian Mcgahan, Petr Lapukhov, everyone in IEWB Forum (...)

I took the Lab exam in Brussels last Monday and thankfully got my number - #17409 ... I decided to purchase the CoD and Lab Workbook from InternetworkExpert. I found the quality of these products to be excellent. What I will say about the guys @ IE is that they have an excellent structure/quality to their products and the free prep seminars from them are worth watching.

Brian,
I just finished writing my CCIE R&S in San Jose a few days ago, and I am now CCIE #17372. I finished the lab with a whole 3 hours to spare. I just wanted both you and Brian McGahan to know that you guys were an inspiration to me, and please, keep up the great work. I'll definitely be attending the CCIE SP class in the near future.
Thanks for everything

Hi Brians,
I have passed my CCIE lab exam in the R&S track and I am now CCIE 17359. There were a lot of factors that have lead to this achievement. A major factor was your great IEWB. It helped me a lot along the way. I have enjoyed struggling with the complex routing and switching scenarios. Questions were designed to help the candidate to explore topics and go deeper beyond things. Your support to your products is appreciated. The support department at Internetwork Expert also doing a great job in terms of response to customer requests.
Again, thanks a lot and keep up the good work.
Kind Regards

Dear Brians,
Thank you for making me a better CCIE than I would have become if you didn't show me the error of my ways. Learn the fundamentals and not the solutions and the exam will be secondary to what you will really accomplish.
Especially Dennis's engergy and easy approach to being a CCIE has been and will be always an inspiration. I will also miss the jokes and stories he told during the CCIE-R&S-AT classes. :)
I also know now that being a CCIE is not the end, it's a new beginning.
Thanks for your great work in the CCIE community!

YES !!! I DID IT !!! I passed the CCIE R&S lab in Brussels Monday 27th of November 2006. It took me precisely one year.
I skipped my job and studied fulltime (self-funded) using the self-paced products. I have used the IEWB-RS ver. 3.0 labs several times, studied the Advanced Technologies Labs, and tested my "speed" with the Core Lab Workbook. The AT-COD definitely made me understand aspects I couldn't find precisely explained in books or on the internet.
I laughed, cried, and sweated together with Brian and Brian through their 80 hours of COD. My best tip when studying is to remember having breaks. Your brain can't cope with all that new information at once. It need breaks to store and sort it.
Don't give up, even if you fail. You have come this far. Step back, be true to yourself, and find your weak areas.
Thank you Brian and Brian, and every one else at Internetwork Expert, for all the materials that makes it possible to become a CCIE.

Dear Internetwork Expert staff --
Thanks so much for providing great training materials and practice labs. I passed my CCIE Service Provider Lab on Thursday, Aug 7, using only Internetwork Expert study material. The online community is a great resource as well and really helped me gain a better understanding of many problem approaches and solutions. Internetwork Expert helped me become 1 of approximately 400 individuals that currently hold R/S and SP designations. Thanks again.

Hi,
I've cleared my CCIE a month ago, my number is 17186, it was my first attempt.
I've used your IEWB Vol3. Thanks Brian & Brian for the excellent material, which indeed covers each and every objective of the lab in detail. I've also used your rack rentals, I really thank the support folks out there, the response/solution to the issues were real quick.

Hi Brians,
I got my number 17089 in Bejing for the first try, only by practicing IEWB with IE Rack Rentals and doing the mock labs.
I would like to thank you for your very best workbook that covers almost everything needed for the lab.
Thank for the deliberate wrong IP address in the initial config of the mock lab, as I tried the mock lab and during the grading you took out 3 point for the wrong initial config. I intended to claim but leave it instead to go to the real lab. Surprisingly enough I got a similar preconfig error but this time I found it right away as being experienced in the mock lab.
Once again, thank you very much!

I just wanted to drop a quick note and let you know that i passed at RTP on 10/24/2006. I am now officially CCIE# 17082. Your workbook and prep materials rock. Your customer service is top notch. I passed on my third attempt using your workbooks, audio class, and rack rentals. The discounted 25/per session really helped me get in a lot of lab time. Thanks again for all that you have done. I couldn't have done it without internetworkexperts. Next up Voice.

I used IEWB version 2-3 to prepare myself for the lab. Compare to other workbooks that I purchased, your is the best. It inches my skill from the basic of Lab1-5 and profess my level at lab 9-13 and harder. I would not make it to the top without your book. Thank you. I will come back for my next track.

Hello all,
I got my number yesterday in Dubai . I have been studying for over a year and passed on my 3rd attempt. My suggestion to wannabe CCIEs is to atleast get hold of the Internetworkexpert's COD and Workbook. they are just invaluable.
I would like to thank everyone on the groupstudy list. it wouldn't have been possible without the help of the list.

I took the mock labs as well and I can't say enough that it really helped reveal my weak areas, and I did some final touch-ups on my strategy and it really helped me pass.
Thanks once again. I'll be waiting for the SP workbook now. Great job Brians.

For someone who went the self-funded way the self-paced products are quite simply the best complete set of training tools on the market.
The Class-on-Demand was so resourceful and entertaining that I took a total of 4 weeks off work just to watch it twice! The volume one labs cemented the skills learned in all that book reading and the COD. The Core workbook did exactly what it was supposed to - increased my speed and accuracy on the core topics. The Volume two lab workbook, what can I say, it's the devil's work for sure, but it really took me over the edge and beyond in terms of truly understanding the protocols and their interactions and caveats.
Once again, a big thank you to all the team at IE for delivering (and supporting) such great products and helping me on my journey towards internetworking expertise.

I am as thrilled as I can be writing you this email. ... I am now CCIE #16815. There is no way I would have passed that lab without the IEWB-RS Lab Workbook. I can assure everyone that the material in that series of labs will get you ready for the real thing. This was my 3rd attempt, and in all 3 attempts there was only 1 or 2 things that I encountered in the real lab that weren't in the Lab Workbook. And the Documentation CD took care of those. If you want to pass the Lab, you really need to invest in the IEWB-RS Lab Workbook. ...
Thanks again to everybody at Internetwork Expert for the excellent material,

Hi Brian & Brian, I just wanted to say thanks for all of your help. I took the lab in RTP yesterday and got the good news this morning that I passed! I spent a lot of time studying, and went throught both ver2 & 3 of the IEWB. What really helped me was the detailed write ups and explanations for each lab scenario that helped me understand how the technology works. This was fortified also by the class on demand, that confirmed topics I did know and greatly helped with topics I needed to work on. Over the past 2 years of intense studying, I used products from other vendors as well, however, it was your products that helped me the most in gaining the understanding and knowledge I needed to pass the lab.

I finally received my CCIE number this past Friday and I just wanted to thank Internetwork Expert for their help in my achieving this goal. To help prepare I relied heavily upon both the IE Lab and Core Workbooks. I can't say enough good things about these products - They are a well-balanced blend of core technologies and advanced features that reinforce a lot of the key concepts that are tested on in the actual lab. I highly recommend these workbooks to anyone who is seriously studying toward achieving their CCIE in Routing & Switching and am looking forward to seeing their new workbooks in Security, Voice and Service Provider!

Well, what a year and a half it has been, much more tougher than I expected.... and the best feeling in the world when you see that number.
I cannot thank Internetwork Expert enough for their outstanding products, as I would not be writing this email if it was not for you guys. You have made obtaining the near impossible, possible.
Here are my 10 CCIE R&S commandments for those taking the same path.....
1. Internetwork Expert Class on Demand, view all 80 hours and take extensive notes
2. Read through entire DOCCD relevant to R&S, and take extensive notes
3. Internetwork Expert Workbook - 30 Labs - go over anything you got wrong or did not understand
4. Internetwork Expert Core Lab Workbook (this was really good.... get it)
5. Internetwork Expert Advanced Technologies (just read through)
6. Internetwork Expert Class on Demand - second viewing, and take extensive notes (you will be surprised what you missed)
7. 2x Internetwork Expert Mock Labs 1 month before your Lab date (if you get 80% or over on both, you are ready)
8. Cisco's online Evaluation Lab (this is also good for feedback)
9. Take the real thing
10. If you fail, never give up, because... if it was easy, it would be worthless......
Thanks to the Brians and the rest of the Interenetwork Expert team for making this day possible
Thanks to my wife Rachael, and my son Jack for being so patient & understanding during this time. Thank you for reading.

I have been a customer of Internetwork Expert and have been using the Lab workbooks for my CCIE studies. Today I have passed the exam and my no. is 16471. Definitely the Internetwork Expert workbooks make you think the CCIE way with all the pitfalls detailed and links to resources for all the complex topics. Keep up the good work !!

Passed the CCIE R&S lab in Brussels on 19th June 2006 to become CCIE#16407. Huge thanks to Internetwork Expert and especially the two Brians for putting together absolutely brilliant training solutions. The CoD and the Lab workbooks are essential training tools. Tried one other vendor first but it was a frustrating experience to say the least, my advice to all students out there is to just go with IE. Planning is the key to passing!! Sounds obvious but you must spend time planning your study, this involves knowing when to do labs and when to study individual technologies, basically you need to understand your strengths and weaknesses. Simply doing lab after lab will not work. Crucially plan your exam taking approach, you need to have your full routine down before stepping into the lab, you have enough to think about on the day and you need to move quickly.
I see the guys are now putting together workbooks for VOICE and SP, that's tempting.

This is long overdue, but I just wanted to let you know that I passed the CCIE R&S lab in Brussels a couple of months ago. IEWB-RS vol 1 and 2 was my only preparation, and I passed on my first attempt. Thank you, Brian's for your wonderful workbooks.

Passed my CCIE R/S Lab exams recently and cannot wait to let you know that an awesome amount of knowledge I needed to pass it was drawn from your reputable Workbook and Solution Guide. I mean I took my time to go through the Workbook and the Solution Guide page by page, and got a very detailed insight of how CCIE Lab exam questions could be phrased and how to tackle them by making rational decisions. The Solution Guide has the most explicit step by step explanation of Tasks and their Solutions like I have never seen in the industry before. I rank the Solution Guide and even the Workbook to be the best in the industry. I got completely exposed to Technology and how it can be applied to solve Networking Problems, both for the purpose of CCIE R/S Lab exams and Practical Jobs in the field. Your CCIE Lab Workbook and its Solution Guide together make a total tool set for the Lab Exams and I already recommended them for a few friends who are preparing for their exams and I will keep recommending them. Though there is no technical documentation that is free of errors, your Workbook and Solution Guide is good and I don't have enough words to express how useful it was to me. I am waiting to buy those for Security, Voice and Service Provider because I am prepared to complete all those tracks too. Please keep up the good job.

I recently passed the CCIE R&S lab and I'm certain that the Class on Demand contributed significantly to my success, though I only had time to go through it once. The content and delivery of the Class on Demand is fantastic. Everything is clearly explained and most of it is demonstrated. I really only had a chance to glance at the lab book, but that looked fantastic as well. Looking at everything you offer, I wish I'd started my preparations with InternetworkExpert rather than IPExpert. I'm certain that I would've been able to absorb the information more quickly and I would've saved alot of money too.

As the saying goes, better late than never. I Passed the R/S exam last
April 6, 2006. I can say it again and again that I cannot do it without the
help of Internetwork Expert.
Kindly add me to the fast growing list of CCIEs who owe their thanks to the great training material of Internetwork Expert.

I just wanted to say thanks for all your help. The Internetwork Expert workbook labs are so good that I am now doing them for the sole purpose of entertainment. Ok, maybe not, but they were definitely KEY in helping me consolidate and apply the technologies to the point that I am now a Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert.

Just wanted to thank you for your excellent products both the new Workbook and the CoD's. Without them I would not be writing this e-mail to say that I passed my lab on Friday in Brussels. I found the CoD's to be amazing, I was unable to attend a bootcamp BUT I feel the CoD's more then made up for this. The amount of enthusiasm that the content is delivered in is amazing, that really comes across and helps in the understanding. Once again thank you for all you hard work.

I did it, I passed the CCIE R&S lab exam from the first time! Althought I had to go through a reread rquest, but I passed. I used your IE workbook in the preparation for my exam and it was very helpfull. It covered almost each and every aspect of the exam. Brian and Brian, I am really grateful.

I just wanted to send out a note to thanks your team for there excellent products and support. I passed my CCIE R&S on Friday it would never been able to accomplish this without your COD and mock labs. Brian and Brian are excellent instructors who have a great way of delivering and explaining complex technologies. I would recommend any CCIE candidate to use your products in the future!!!

I just want to express my deepest appreciation for working this out with me to purchase the Class on Demand. The information obtained through the class was absolutely what I have been wanting for a long time. Both Brian Dennis and Brian McGahan did an excellent job and they truly helped me go to the next level. I have been pursuing this for the past five years while here at Cisco and have not ran across anything as thorough as this Class. As a result I finally passed my R&S lab this past Thursday Jan 26th. I am now CCIE# 15725. Thanks again Sales team for working with me on this and also to the creators and instructors of this great tool. I will definitely let others know this is the way to go when preparing for their Lab.

I have been curious about what kind of stuffs you guys put into the workbook for Vol 2 and Version 3 but not any more :) passed the lab at San Jose this Thursday and became CCIE 15686. Thanks for the great training materials, wonderful workbook, and many many helps. You guys rock!!
Dehong Wang
CCIE #15686
I purchased the IE end-to-end program back in May of 2005. I followed through with their recommended course of study and completed all but three of the labs in volumes 1 and 2. I took two of the mock labs. I attended the live class, and I also watched the entire class series again on-demand. Additionally, I listened to the entire audio class series. After all of this, I took my lab and passed on my first attempt! I can not recommend InternetworkExpert enough.

I passed my routing and switching examination in San Jose on Friday 13th 2006. Please convey my sincere thanks and appreciation to the developers for the most outstanding product for the CCIE R&S lab examination in the market today. I have used two other popular vendors products and have no doubt that this product is superior is many respects. Most noteably is the topology layout with backbone routers that truly prepare a canidate for the real experience.

Just want to thank the Brian's for their Super Excellent workbook. It is a MUST-HAVE to be able to prepare for the Lab. It's almost close to the real thing!!! The Solutions guide is awesome in that it breaks down the each technology to it's bare bones minimum and helps one to understand this stuff like a piece of cake!! Thank you, Brian's for your wonderful workbook and your excellent support. You guys ROCK!

To Brian and Brian I must say thank you very much for guiding me through this process. I have used the workbook volume 1 ver 1 and volume 1 ver 2. I have also attended the week long bootcamp and found it extremely helpful. I also found that the Mock lab was a great way to asses my weaknesses. Your products have been instrumental in guiding me through this difficult process. I must also give a special thanks to Brian Mcgahan. I feel you have gone above and beyond and taken extra time in answering my questions and ensuring that I understand the topics

I would not pass my CCIE lab without help from Internetwork Expert. I used their workbook, Class on Demand series training class, and Mock lab. I think they are the best in this business in all points. Their instructors are the best, work books are complete and comprehensive. I strongly recommend IE products for CCIE lab preparation.

I am writing to thank both of you for your tremendous products and your support over the last number of months. Yesterday I sat my Lab, and am very pleased to say that I came through with flying colours! Am now CCIE 15277. I can truly say that without your workbook, IE forum and active participation on Group Study I would not have attained this goal. Keep up the good work.
Simon Hart
CCIE #15277
I am really thankful to Internetwork Expert for chagining lives of so many individuals who take this "dreaded" path for the most respected certification. I bought COD, Mock Labs, WB VOl I and II and I can't express enough in words how they have helped me. On top of their great products lie the minds of Brian's who are real experts and could so easily contain so much knowledge. They really helped individually in my pursue and I ll always recommend everyone for there products.
Amit Jain
CCIE #15248
I PASSED!!!!! It took me two attempts, but I did it. Your Mock Lab Week and COD were awesome! They gave me a solid understanding of the fundamental technologies on the exam... Even more than that, they have helped me to be a better engineer at my job. After all, what good is a CCIE number if you don't have the knowledge to back it up! Even though I passed, I'm still combing through the COD looking for trouble shooting tips and anything I might have missed.
William Law
CCIE #15246
You have a great CCIE study guide. I struggled with a mediocre study guide for 18 months and two failed lab attempts before I purchased yours. Less than two months after I received your study guide I passed the CCIE lab exam. I couldn't have done it with out you!

Internetwork Expert gives you the confidence and knowledge to aproach the lab in a structured way that leaves you buzzing. Without their help and support, it would have taken me a lot longer to pass this. It will give you a benchmark with which to guage yourself, and help you focus your skills in your weak areas. I have only the highest praises for both Brian's and Internetwork Expert as a company.

I passed R/S lab exam in Japan
First, my recommendation for all is to understand all topics of the blue print from Cisco site and documentation CD as a main resource.
Second, I used Internetwork Expert's as practical Labs which contain a lot of the real LAB concepts, great explanation for various topics and cover almost all topics in the blue print.---- thanks Brain

Your R&S workbook was key in my passing the lab in my FIRST ATTEMPT! It provided me with a solid understanding of the interactions of routing and switching technologies. I used it during the last few months of my studies and it really helped. I was even configuring a lab in Vol 2 the day before my lab just to keep things fresh in my mind. You guys did an excellent job with this workbook. Thank you!

I'm so happy to say I passed the CCIE R&S Lab Exam last Thursday. Thanks to IE and the two Brians for such a great Workbook. The IEWB with its challenging labs and excellent Answer Key, as well as the Mock Lab I took at the end of Arpil, contributed significantly to me finally getting my number.

Just to let you know I passed my lab last Friday in Brussels (CCIE 14786). I would never passed if I hadn't spent some bucks for your acclaimed IEWB-RS Volume I and II. Thanks Brians for all your help and patience and for letting me preview some of your VOD classrooms. Invaluable stuff !!! – actually I recommend anyone looking for CCIE track to prepare using your materials.

James Obot
CCIE #14785
From a newly numbered CCIE (#14745), the IEWB-RS workbook does an outstanding job preparing you for all the tricks that the lab can throw at you. I can honestly say that, after using all 20 labs, there wasn't one **important** area on my exam that wasn't covered in the workbook. Sure, there were a few items that weren't covered, but they were easily found in the Cisco documentation. And yes, there were a few instances where the wording of the statements on the lab were purposefully worded to confuse. But all in all, the IEWB was well worth the investment to prepare for the real thing.
Justin White
CCIE #14745
I used these labs as well as renting their equipment. I have nothing but great things to say about the workbook. Both Brians have done a great job building upon each lab.
Troy Levin

I have just passed the R&S Lab exam in my first attempt!! When I read the R&S workbook (sample chapter) for the first time, I found it was the most comprehensive CCIE workbook. I purchased it without delay. During my study, I found the workbook contained all the information and tricks for the CCIE lab exam. Afterwards I just used the workbook as the study materials... I strongly recommend Internetwork Expert's R&S Workbook (IEWB-RS) to anyone...

Did my first attempt on the R&S Lab in Brussels yesterday and PASSED! I couldn't have done it without the excellent R&S WB, it really covers it all! Also, the 3 Rack Rentals I took from IE very useful for my C3550 and ATM prep. At last, the many long hours configuring in my home-lab really paid off! Many thanks!

Pascal Tscharner
CCIE #13944
Your labs are right on target, and the explanations are right there task by task. A wonderful piece of work or should I say an art. It is really very difficult to put such a depth of knowledge in a fashion which makes one read over and over and make the labs enjoyable. I never ever got bored. Each time my wife could see a chuckle whenever I would read the questions. Where were you guys a year back? This is the best WB I have seen. I thought I knew everything till I saw IE WB. It is a collection of real world scenarios and closest to the real lab. I can't wait for the security WB to come out. I can guarantee no one will ever repent. Good job B and B :-)

Brians, I wanted to thank you both personally for your time and work you put into the material you have provided. No question the workbook was my most valuable tool in passing the test. The labs given in it are both technically difficult and well thought out. Hands down that is what made me pass the test.
Tyson Scott
CCIE #13513
I passed the lab on my first attempt. The IE Lab workbooks together with my 6 year experience were the keys to success. Internetwork Expert workbooks and solution guide are very helpful in understanding what is going on behind the configurations. IE Labs workbook and solution guide not only helped me to attain a degree, but also made me a better engineer.. Thanks again for everything...

I passed in Dubai today, June 10th. I still can't believe its over. I started with the IE workbook in late Jan and worked an average of 8 hours per day since then. Going through just 5 labs, I was feeling much more confidant with most of the core topics. I also took the 29th of March workshop and it was an amazing confidence booster. I would highly recommend it if you want to polish your skills and spot your weaknesses. Many thanks to Brian M & Brian D for such great products. My money was very well spent.
Yasser Abdullah
CCIE #13423
I started with no router experience a year ago. Last Sept I passed my written but I didn't study the lab until Dec. This January, I attended Brians' workshop in NYC and this is the key to pass the exam. I have no doubt about it. Speaking of the lab itself, it is not as hard as the IE labs. The IE labs cover most of the materials you need to pass the lab. However, you can't just memorize the answer key and pass it. To pass the lab, you must understand what technology. Also, don't argue with the questions. Do what they asked. No more no less. It is a long journey but worth to go.
Yiu Lee
CCIE #13413
The IE Workbook is GREAT, especially the solution guide, where it provides detailed notes, gotchas, pitfalls, and further reading. It is reasonably priced for the amount of content. I have already recommended it to many of my colleagues. The two Brians, you are great also! :)

I finally got my number. Buying the InternetworkExpert workbook was one of the best investments I have ever done. Couldn't have even thought about it passing a lab without the support I got from you guys, and of course the workbook you guys put it together. Your workbook is the best resource I have ever used.
Abbas Ali

I preferred the IE book because the explanations were thorough and the goal is to help you understand the protocols and technologies rather than just tell you what commands need to be entered.

After I failed my 2nd attempt in January I bought the great R/S-Workbook from IE. I think that it's the best of all. The explanations in the solution-guide are very helpfully and nice to understand. After I have configured all the 20 Labs I was ready to go! A thousand thanks to Brian's for Your work.

CCIE #13302
I passed the lab in San Jose, on Monday, May 3rd. I couldn't have done it without the excellent training provided by Internetwork Expert. I have seen, although I don't own, most of the vendor's training materials out in the market, and I really LEARNED from Internetwork Expert's labs. I really did some strong comparisons among the different products by looking at sample labs, etc.; and I found their product to be error free and well written, so I felt like I got a great deal on their workbook. The answer keys are excellent and well laid out with great explanations of each section. If you can do their labs, especially labs 12 through 20, you will be ready for the real thing. For 3 months prior to my exam date, I used one day each weekend to do a full 8-hour scenario from their workbook, and they gave me a great deal on rack times. I also, with the help of my company, purchased lab grading, which made a HUGE difference for me. Brian D. and Brian M. both provided excellent feedback and let me know where I needed improvement. I will say it again, their product is second to NONE. I also sat their 5-day Workshop about 8 months ago; and it was also an excellent class. The labs were tough, and they provided excellent score reports and feedback.
Jason Pendleton
CCIE #13295
My last attempt for the lab was 2.5 years back when I almost gave up. About 8 months back I came to know that Brian(s) have launched Internetwork Expert through a coworker of mine. After debating in my mind I went ahead and ordered the Internetwork Expert lab workbook in the beginning of this year. Since then I decided that this was what I was missing for all these years. Streamlined guidelines and the cool tricks which was needed for the lab and also needed for making cool network engineer. The examples, explanation were what was needed to understand and clarify concepts of the particular topic. When I decided my lab date I signed up for the Internetwork Expert mock labs which gave me the feel of the real lab exam but the biggest advantage of all a feedback from Brian M with pointing all my stupid mistakes. This helped me a lot!!!! to become CCIE 13276. Thanks to Internetwork Expert! I have not decided to pursue any other CCIE track yet, but one thing I know for sure that if I decide for VOICE or Security, I would be back knocking Internetwork Expert's door!
Debarshi Mukherjee
CCIE #13276
I have to say the workbook is incredible as well as the mock lab workshop, I passed on 5/04/2004. I took my time to understand the technology, and I think that made a huge difference, I read through entire solution guide, I read certain sections more than once. I configured many times different technologies. I just want to say special thanks to the two Brians, you guys rock!!!. As far as advice, dont give up!!! IF you want to become expert with IOS than with dedication and persistance you will.

Just wanted to say what an absolutely outstanding experience this whole LONG trek has been and as so many other people have said before me...."There's NOTHING like seeing the word "PASS" Brian(s), thanks for outstanding IEWB, of every other product on the market (and I've got almost all of them, NO ONE else even comes close to bringing it all together!!!!

I did the workshop class for my final preparation before the real exam. It was the first and the last attempt for me. The workshop really help to find my weak area before the test. Plus, you learn from your mistake you do during the mock lab. The day after the mock lab they go over it (they know their stuff). Their lab is very good, cover a lot of materials. I was also surprise to attend a class from home (first time for me) it's very good and you save money!! Overall I'm very satisfied and I want to thanks again Internetwork Expert, they really do a very good job!

Finally, I passed the lab on my third attempt this past Tuesday. I would like to give special thanks to Brian Dennis and Brian McGahan from InternetworkExpert. I attended their Routing and Switching CCIE Lab class in January, and I feel that what I learned during those six days was instrumental in helping me achieve this goal.
Rolando Alvarez Jr.
CCIE #13118
The IE R&S workbook is by far the most helpful resource I have used to prepare for the CCIE lab. The exam is increasingly complex and only a highest quality workbook like this can make the difference and take you over the passing score. The list of covered topics is exhaustive, the questions are asked in the same intelligent way you can find in real exams, and the scenarios have a complexity and variety that keeps your interest until the end of the book. The comments and explanations are the conclusion of years of intense experience in networking, and the book is virtually error-free. Finally, I would like to say that these labs not only make you learn all the needed technologies, but also to think as a future CCIE. Thanks a lot for this top quality material, it made me pass!
Antonio Sanchez-Monge
CCIE #13098
I made it in RTP today. Thanks to Brian and Brian for the excellent material and class. It was a kick in the teeth, and I think I had every ip service on the DOC CD. None the less, its over and good riddens. Preparation included many practice labs (these are by far the best) Hours and hours of bangin out on the rack. One week of Brian Dennis's bad jokes in class.
Chris Snow

Someone once said to me, "Whatever comes out those doors, hold your position" And yesterday in Brussels I did. I am, CCIE 13037 How..?? 2 Years, 3 attempts, 1400 hours in the lab. 71 (8) hour labs completed - 11 weeks of my holidays from work over 2 years. Brian McGahan and Brian Dennis's course and 7000 euro's later. ...complete this book and you should be ready to take exam, I actually was one of the first customers of the book and probably one of the first to complete it, as I had finished it by the end of January and had taken 4 mock labs in the IE CCIE Workshop class... The workbook is a learning experience as much as it is labs.
Paul Casey
CCIE #13037
Passed the R&S Lab today in RTP...I must say that the Internetwork Expert labs/solution guides are really an excellent learning tool... I did manage to go through labs 1-5 in great detail and found that it really help to reinforce the knowledge I already had and definitely taught me some new concepts that I wasn't as familiar with. In particular the "quirky" IOS features and such that can bite you on the real lab. I am looking forward to B & B getting the security booklet out and will definitely consider that one in the future.

Gentlemen, Got my number today in RTP, #12933! I want to tell you both that the classes, particularly the workshop, really helped me get over the top. You both were very helpful to me down the stretch, and I really appreciate it. Most of all, though, thanks for a superior workbook. ...yours had just the right amount of detail and helped me look beyond the configs to see the "big picture", and that makes all the difference.

Well finally, it's my turn. I finally have a number, #12917 that places me within the elite group, called CCIE. What a journey this was, however, I'm really overjoyed I got my number, even if it took 5 grueling attempts. What can I say about Brian and Brian (The Brains). You know the technologies like the back of your hands, excellent Mock Labs, and your training classes exceptional! You are the pinnacle for CCIE training. And, once again, THANKS!! This should encourage you guys that were in the Raleigh CCIE class!!!!

I want to thank Internetwork Expert for over preparing me technically (in a good way) - I will never forget those full-day lab nightmares.
Thank you Brian D. and the team.

Brian and Brian really able to come up with a product which is far superior than other stuff in the market. I have done first 5 labs so far and that really did wonders for me. My confidence level is high, my speed is great and my ability to Spot problems has improved. I havent done all 20 labs but pretty sure that you cant fail your lab after that. Internetwork didn't give their workbook to me free (they charged me ;-)) for review or anything. I am just a satisfied customer! Nothing more nothing less!

I completed the online mock lab workshop about two weeks before my lab date. Few days later, Brian let me know that Jason (one of that WS student) had passed. And I still remember the words that Jason told me when I contact him "I regret that I didn't take that workshop before my last attempt" With the workshop completion and Jason's words give me lots of confident in my way to Lab testing Center. The detail of the WS is described exactly in the homepage. I am very happy to say thank you to duo Brian again!!!

Back in November of last year I attended the Internetwork Expert R&S Virtual Workshop, it was the best training course I've ever had the privilege of attending. I had already failed the lab and had gone thru 3 separate practice lab books besides reading the usual books, but still had some minor misconceptions on certain topics. Internetwork Expert's class was the only thing I could afford at the time and knowing that Brian Dennis and Brian McGahan both came from respectable Cisco Training companies it was a no brainer. The instruction was hands down the best available, and the lab simulation was not only harder than the real lab but by far the closest that you can get to the real thing (except I wasn't paying $1250 every day). The virtual classroom provided for real-time audio, application sharing (so the instructors could actually walk the student through debugging and configuration at the CLI) and also a whiteboard in which the instructors could illustrate topologies etc. The level of expertise is what really impressed me; Brian and Brian really know Cisco networking to a level that still makes me feel very small and insignificant. Needless to say the week after I attended their course I passed the Lab in San Jose with flying colors! InternetworkExpert is by far the best training available for the CCIE!! They also have the best prices as well as support; If you consider the cost of a failed lab attempt and their course which actually provides a true lab experience (including a score reports!!) it's almost ridiculous to attempt the lab without taking their course! I plan on attending their CCIE Security course as soon as I get a chance!

The Class on Demand course was excellent and helped to reinforce the blueprint topics and your workbook is hands down the best on the market. Thanks again.
