Gobind,
you have been there only for one week. I have been there for 30 days and 12 hours everyday. Just doing labs only and I have 12 years of networking experience at that time . After that Also I Fail because they never do 1-2-1 with they guys there. Every week new students come but I was alone who has been there for one full month but at the end I fail because they just passing time with me. I have to wait for some time 2 to 3 hours some one have to come and see my lab what I have done. Some guys are just dont know much. Frankly speaking what I have learn is Just from internetwork expert lab book and understand each topic very well via there work book only. They have awasome material. I have not attend any boot camp from them but there book is so wonderfull that you dont required any boot camp.
Personally tell you that Please dont make people fool here by giving that you have got one-2-one training because they dont have guys on that week. Go into boot camp when they have 6 people and 2 instrutor. They dont even look into you.
Regards
J P Singh

Well Scott,I was just trying to tell my experience and when JP said that it is not one-on-one and then Tony said that maybe Cyscoexpert's way of teaching etc..would be changed now,as per Tony's line :-
"they might have changed their approach now and it might benefit newcomers"
As I was newcomer over at Cyscoexpert I was just wanted to let them know how was I treated and how they gave me training and what was the class size,so that THEY can compare,for instance maybe at J.P.'s time (when he got training) there would have been 5-6 students in class and he was not getting any attention or something but I just wanted to share my experience and if it is wrong to do that and if you think the reason I said things is marketing approach and I am perogative then I am sorry about that Scott and would stop reply to this thread :)
