Subject: CCIE #12849
It's my turn to share some good news. I was awarded CCIE #12849 on my
second attempt last Friday in RTP. I would only add 2 suggestions to
the normal list of books/resources/items that others have mentioned
toward their success. These 2 are...
CyscoExpert Lab Bootcamp - These guys really know there stuff and are
enthusiastic in sharing it with others. I went to Chicago feeling
confident I was ready and they put me over the top with their rigorous
curriculum and hands-on approach to teaching. I left feeling that they
genuinely cared about my success and did everything they could to help
me realize my goal. The fee for attending was well worth it.
Local Cisco Office/SEs - If your company has a relationship with Cisco I
would encourage anyone to contact them and ask for their assistance. I
found our local Cisco SE staff to be extremely helpful. My office has a
full lab of equipment, including ISDN, ATM, and Voice that is dedicated
for use by customers. This was invaluable since I don't have the
personal resources to acquire a lab of my own. I never would have known
this unless I picked up the phone and worked to establish a
relationship. They were also more than willing to field technology
questions and provide feedback where appropriate.
In short, if you want it bad enough don't leave any stone unturned!
Read the GroupStudy posts everyday, save them and re-read them when
necessary. This is a fabulous resource for information and is a
goldmine in gauging your readiness.
Regards and keep up the hard work!
