Sean,
Here's some "digits" for you just pulled from each
vendor's website:
To be fair - I started with late February to start the
numbers from - recall some vendors have 10 years and
some have less years.
====================================================
Now I picked on Nick Griffin and used his number since
he passed in Late February as a baseline to grab these
numbers - and since he is on the roster of more than a
couple of vendors. (No offense Nick)
The truth is - it is hard to tell who made the
difference with each candidate since many use a lot of
materials from different vendors and each vendor
claims each CCIE who purchased their materials.
Now each vendor may also have other CCIE's who did not
"call in" their number as well so it could be listed -
I cannot account for that since it is not listed.
Some vendors sell their products cheaply and thus have
a higher market share as well and this is not
reflected - think ratio.
Some trainers/vendors do not list or it is hard to
find their current CCIE's (like IEMentor) - sorry.
Some trainers cannot post ther students or don't post
their students (say like Paul Borghese for instance
who can probably claim a lot if the GS list itself
counts at all).
Lots of things to consider.
It also does not consider how much help a candidate
may have recived from others or vendors on GS, some
vendors and their employees do quite a bit on GS to
answer lingering questions and sometimes very critical
specific questions and scenarios.
I can say that you need to read my posts and look at
this list from the past 2 months or so and draw your
own conclusions - some said I was biased - the numbers
are what they are.
Remember there is no accounting for ratio, but if
ratio were important to you, you would be well-advised
to look twice or even three times if you missed a very
simple fact.
So when you see class-only or one-on-one it is hard
but there classes and tutelege are sparse and they
rarely have large classes to draw success stories
from.
If three go in and three come out CCIE's, what can I
tell you.
And there's a training center in China called
www.ccxx.net with several month programs of study that
simply builds CCIE's eventually.
Oh yes - I did not count anyone I (or others) may have
worked with - wink wink... You know who you are. :)
No accounting for personal study friends or
study-groups either.
