I've attended a bunch of Network Learning's classes with great results and I can't say enough good things about Brad, the instructors and staff there who were also very supportive and helpful. One of the books I recieved and was using a great deal, Soup To Nuts was an awesome resource for practice labs and learning the technologies and gaining the confidence to get ready for the Lab exam. Everyone has their own best way of learning I guess and with all these resources I was able to get fully immersed into preparing for the Lab which I have scheduled for Sept 12th at this point. Their racks are also an awesome resource and I've been able to save my money and not have to buy my own rack as a result. I've come along way to reaching my goal for my CCIE Lab attempt because of the bootcamps and the books/material recieved during these bootcamps.
I recently found out that the author of Soup-To-Nuts, Narbik Kocharians, wrote new books which as I found out once I received them really expanded on the already killer labs and lessions in Soup-to-nuts. I can't even begin to tell you how good these labs are. The new labs not only contain what is in soup-to-nuts (with some differences of course) but are even harder and more expansive to really nail down your skills technology by technology. For example the BGP labs doubled in size from 100 to 200 pages and there's enough IPv6 labs to make your head spin. As you start going through the new labs it just keeps getting more progressive and expansive and by the time your done you can say you know that technology inside and out. However, you never feel lost in the technology either. I have yet to be confused by any part of these books and I walked away with a complete understanding.
The site is http://www.net-workbooks.com/ for those of you who wish to pick up a copy of his new material.
I realize you must be wondering my motive for telling you all this and its real simple, great resources that are believed to be your best resource for passing you CCIE lab should be mentioned and shared with everyone so you can not only pass but you can also be a better, stronger CCIE in the long run. I can't see how I won't pass because of these resources!
Good luck folks!
