Now here is the mother of all questions:
1. Have you taken a Vendor's Assessment Exam?
==========================================
A. IE Mock Labs (4 Labs) - $1995.00 (Class on Demand for 1 full year)
B. NMC CheckIT (6 Labs) or RS-NMC-2 (4 Labs) - $4500.00 (3 Instructors available)
C. Heinz Ulm's Mock Labs (4 Labs + 1 take-home Lab)- $2600.00
D. NLI's Mock Labs(5 Labs with Walkthrough Instructions) - $1500.00 (no instructor per website advertisement - rack and labs with walkthroughs)
E. IPExpert's Mock Labs (4 Labs) - $3999.00
F. Cisco CCIE Assessor (1 Lab) - $279.00
G. Others... (Cysco Expert, Cathay School, etc. - I was not aware they offered these types of labs but just in case...)
(In no particular order.)
==============================================================
2. How well did you think the lab assessed your actual lab readiness?
=====================================================================
3. Would you recommend it? Why and why not?
===========================================
4. Other opinions you may wish to share...
==========================================
5. Would you recommend using one or more of the above offerings? (I notice that several CCIE's over the years have used more than one of the above vendors is why I ask)
==============================================================================
6. If there were something that could be improved upon what would it be?
(Grading, Feedback, Topology, Customer Service, Dificulty of Labs, etc.)
=========================================================================
