I'm shocked - even more so by the fact that Cisco have not advised of
this fact
If we say that is 3 months of no labs, that is a sizeable dent in the 18
month window of the required first lab attempt.
I know not every country is lucky enough to have a lab location, but for
those who live in Australia, I'm sure we did not count (I know I didn't)
on international travel for a lab attempt, and that means a 3 month loss
of windowing.
</end of rant>
Thanks for the info Mike and John, appreciate it.

Heya Everyone,
I contacted the proctor Yusuf Bhaiji and asked
him
what's going on. He replied telling me that he does no longer proctor in
Sydney and is now proctoring in Dubai with the occasional trip back to
Sydney when required. Oh he also tells me regarding his Security book he
has
been writing that there is only 5 chapters to go :)
Cheers
John
