Hi Group,

In parallel to my ongoing R & S lab exam prep, I am planning to start
working on Voice written track as well since it become really relevant to
my work front with upcoming IP Tel roll out on our WAN. I was discussing
this matter with our SE and he mentioned about doing CCVP instead to get me
going on the ground. But when I looked at the CCVP details , I realized that
I got to do 5 exams , Cvoice , IP Telephony , T/shooting , Qos and
Gatekeeper/Gateway. And that is a long journey both in terms of time and
money required.

So I am just thinking with some preliminary knowledge under the belt on CM,
Gateway , Qos and Transcoder functionality , I am thinking I should go for
CCIE Voice written exam directly instead. Am I on right kind of thinking ?
Or these 2 tracks ( Voice written and CCVP) have separate strengths who may
or may not compliment each other.

Secondly can any please suggest best CCIE Voice written exam certification
guide ?Thirdly is there any vendor out there who is offering these CCVP
courses online , just like they do with CCIE track courses ?

Thanks heaps :-)

- Cheers

David.
