I agree with you on this, there seems to be a lot of people passing this day
but I'm sure it's not because the change on the lab format itself (meaning
that I don't think it got any easier) maybe it's because there are more
seats and a easier way to schedule.
Maybe Cisco should assure does people spending time and money getting a
certification a job opening by requiring more certified individuals (that's
the number one reason for companies to employ and certifier individual this
day, if not they'll just get someone with field experience and no cert) in
there partner programs, because if been certified does not guarantee me a
job I'll simply get the basic knowledge I need to do my day to day job and
come running to the TAC when something goes wrong.
I'm certain that CISCO avoid this cert from becoming something like
Microsoft's by guarantying that accredited individual have full knowledge in
the field and by requiring more CCIE's on Silver, and Gold partners,
