Hello all once again..
Thanks to all for such an overwhelming response. I never expected such a
great response. I think, I should go for the class, even though it is $3600.
I will also try buy 3 routers which will again cost me lets say, $3000-4000
(any comments!!!). But I should be able to sell them back once I am done and
I am sure I will not loose more then $1000 in that deal.
Getting back to the ECP1 class, I will make sure I go there with BRS book
read thoroughly once more before attending. That will maximise the benefit
which I am going to get from the class. I think it will help me a lot,
specially in areas I cannot practice on my own like ISDN, ATM/LANE (because
of which I lost my first chance in lab exam) and then VoIP and finally
bridging etc.
But I am still on 3rd waiting list for san Jose on Nov 13th. Can't even say
if i will get it or not.
Thanks once again for your response.
Regards
Devin

Devin,
Take the class. Some of the stuff that you go over in the class is so
helpful that it can make the difference for you. The other great thing is
that you get to meet other candidates and get to talk about what they are
doing to prepare. You'll hear a lot of stuff that you won't see on this
list. You will make the money back with your first two or three paychecks
as a CCIE.

Subject: ECP1 vs book " BRS by Caslow"
Hello all..
I need advise from fellow list members regd the famous ECP1 course vs the
book "Bridges Routers and Switches" by Caslow. They seem to have same
course content. I have gone through that book 2-3 times and understand it
reasonably well (except for Non-IP protocols). Is it still worth attending
ECP1 course?? It is $3600, which is quite expensive for me. Also, do they
cover topics like VOIP, VPN and multicast etc which are part of lab exam
but not covered in book??
Another suggestion which I got was, that instead of spending $3600, it is
better to buy 3 Routers and build my own lab (which I don't have right now)
and practice on them since I have alreday gone through the book.
What is your suggestion ???.
Thanks
Devin
