Replies have been sent to interested parties. Let's get the party started.
Let's see of we cannot take a structured approach to understanding each technology, literally one by one, layer by layer, until we have mastered or at least more fully understand the underlying conepts that are breaking our foundations as we complete our study labs.
I'll be your guide. I am not famous like Heinz Ulm, Bruce Caslow, Brian Dennis or Brian McGahan, or Scott Morris, Brad Ellis or even Narbik and Anthony S.
However, I am organized, methodical, have a keen eye for subtle details, and a burning passion to meet this goal head-on.
I am well-prepared and have most every resource that can be had to attain this goal.
So my friends who have opted to stud with me, let us see if we cannot slay the beast once and for all.
Wish us luck!
Someone once said none of knows it all, but all of us know the sum of it all. And if they did not, I am now. Let's roll people.
I'll expect that each study-buddy can devote about 2 hours night at least 3-5 times per week and be prepared to take a challenge exam at least once per month at a minimum and as frequently as once per week or so.
This is a hard study group it is free and it will be instense be design. Tasks will be assigned to the study partner and the partner is expected to research each task to the fullest of his or her ability. The hands-on practical labs will be assigned to the study partner and that partner will be first expected to complete a certain Layer of each practive lab.
Consider this, if one cannot get past he L3 Interior Routing Protocols, why would that person be interested in spending undo amounts of time with BGP yet? It has been said before.
Organized, methodical, and precise is the means by which a candidate should be preparing. Many times we do not and we are led by a false pride or a sense of urgency - perhaps a date is nearing and we do not want to re-take the written portion again.
Why not? $300.00 is certainly cheaper than $1250.00 and did I forget to mention that if one cannot pass the written again, one will most certainly experience difficulty on the lab.
Now I asked for lab partners, and some replied. I have responded. I will start assigning talks, those that are truly motivated will keep up and those who are not will simply drift away. This is true of most any study group.
Don't worry if you cannot hack it or decide this is not for you. But if it is, let's see if we can master the technology, assure our skills, and pass this lab once and for all and be a better Cisco Network Engineer as a result of our efforts.
Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to respond and those who have responed and went to the next step.
Let's get the party started.

Hi all,
I am wanting to know if anyone wants to study together. I know most people want partners in the same physical area, but I think we can study fine over the Internet using chat and email programs.
So if anyone is interested, let me know.
