For those of you with the GI BILL courtesy of the US Military I have had succes
s with getting my CCIE written exam and one failed lab attempt paid for. I was
skeptical when I first filled out the application but was pleasantly surprised
when the checks arrived in the mail. They actually processed this faster than
when I took college classes.

Be happy your employer let you take the test. I had to quit my job because
my boss was actively sabotaging my attempts to get certified (so I wouldn't
leave).
I have about $15000 into my CCIE certs... 100% out of pocket... take what
you can get!

Subject: How much did your employer pay?
I'm arranging my certification expense report for my employer with hopes of
being reimbursed for the whole amount and I've been told that my failed
attempts won't be covered. It took me three tries to pass the CCIE, I
failed twice and finally passed on March 22nd.
Have most of the aspiring CCIEs or certified CCIEs on this last been
reimbursed for there failed attempts?
Is there a link on the internet showing what the average cost of CCIE
certification to an employer is? My TOTAL expense report was for $5850
(including failed attempts) and I have a feeling this is way below the
average.
Some things I didn't bother expensing were the cost of the rack ($7000),
travel, hotel, meals and books. Have most of you included these?
Your help and advice would be much appreciated!
