I am currently taking the course this week and Bruce Caslow IS the teacher.
The course is structured around his book with references to Slattery/Burton,
Doyle, Halabi (to name a few). When you sign up for the course, Bruce's
book and Slattery/Burton's is shipped to you with approx. 400 pages of
pre-reading to be completed.
I have to say this is THE most intense Cisco related course I have ever
taken. There are approx. 12 students in the class with 2 students to a pod
of 5 routers, 1 Terminal server and 1 Frame switch. Day 1 consisted of
configuring the terminal server, frame switch and getting ospf running over
the NBMA core with all the fun scenarios that come in to play (network type
mismatches, DR/BDR selection, RIP FLSM/VLSM issues, etc). Most of us were
there from 8:30 - 8:30. Day 2 was full of ISDN and BGP, lots of fun!
Another 12 hour day..
To answer your second question.. I have not yet taken the lab, but there
are several students in my class that are on their 2nd and 3rd attempt, so I
have to think that the course is not only exploiting the technologies and
intricacies, but it is providing a test taking strategy (just like Bruce
spells out in his book). At least for me..
