If I can give you one piece of advice....look for a bootcamp or training
facility that has a low ratio of students to racks of equipment. The more
intimate you get with the equipment the better. Also, do some research off
line, visit some of the vendors websites and see how each bootcamp compares
to the other, then consider the cost.
above all, make sure you factor in the experience that you have RIGHT NOW,
if you just finished your you CCNP, a bootcamp may not be right for you
right now. If your shakey on things like frame relay and basic IGP
configuration you may not be ready. Make sure you evaluate your skills
honestly or the bootcamp may turn out to be a dissapointment. Of course,
even then you'll still get some value but enough to pass the lab probably
not.
Look for a vendor that has a good rep, not one who appears on group study
out of the blue claiming to be the "one".
In the end, it's all about you and what you expect to recieve. I'm planning
on going to some bootcamps...I need that extra push in SOME areas but not
all. I have the tools, know how to use them but I need some practice putting
them all together into the total package so a bootcamp is perfect for me.
whether it is for you.....only you can answer that :) Give yourself some
time and do some research on your own before you shell out the money.
