The bootcamps certainly give a great insight into what is expected and they
guide the way for you to pass.If you have some solid experience and
understand the fundamentals you have a good chance to pass.So go for it at
the worst you know where you stand after the camp.It is not nice not knowing
what to expect in the lab attending a bootcamp will make you understand
different scenarios which are simmilar to the lab.
Some bootcamps offer free return to bootcamp seats permitting if you fail.
So they are fairly confident if you have some good exposure to Cisco
equipent and implementation you should pass.
Why offer this otherwise it doesnt make good business sense to have hords
coming back.You would go broke wouldnt you ?
Lets be honest there all in the money making market and good luck to them.
4k a week 8 - 10 students per class 48 weeks a year BINGO $1.92million.If
the courses were $1000 a week theri would be 45000 CCIE's no one really
wants that I believe their must be at least 45 -50 passing every week now.
But Bootcamps offer someing that people want to further their carreers
knowledge Employees do feel confortable haveing CCIE's at work .
Although the courses and well overpriced for individuls to pay themselves
hopefully your company can fork up the cash for your hardwork and loyalty
over the years.
Bootcamps-->.You can never know everthing and will always learn something
and be refreshed on technology perhaps you have not been working with
"SNA,MC,QoS" whatever.
Plus the opportunity to meet some fantastic people who share a simmilar goal
the NUMBER !!
Everyone is at different stages you may pass first go these thing shappen
every week.
Give it a go you wont be dissapoinetd.
Godd Luck.
