I'm a CCNA instructor, Watch it!

I could be a CCIE instructor too! It comes down to the student who is in the
class.

I have had students for my CCNA who left and couldn't do show ip int brief.
I have had students for my CCNA who in a starbucks break learned why we use
LLQ with Voip instead of custom queueing. Again, it comes down to ability,
desire, and intention.

I was lucky enough to get some nat and ipv6 materials from NARBIK. It was on
the level of other workbooks (IE, IPEXPERT). I'm sure he has more than
enough to do a bootcamp. Two students from Saudi Arabia took his bootcamp in
Dubai and passed on their first attempt...

I think your friend just came to the class and was expecting someone to
download the information into his brain. I passed the CCIE lab without any
bootcamp, and yes I took lots of notes. Maybe he should just go take the lab
to see how he will do.

My friend took a course with Narbik about a year and a half ago and said the
class wasn't very good. He did not care for the format of the class. He said
the class was too basic, he had to take a LOT of notes, and the class hand
outs were not very good. On the flip said he said that Narbik has a great
personality and would be a good CCNA instructor. I have also never heard of
the company you are mentioning below, so I would be very careful. I'd
suggest looking at more established companies like IPExpert,
InternetworkExpert, CCBootcamp, or NetmasterClass.

Based on your experience with the boot camps which one would you
recommend? I've noticed the one taught by Narbik Kocharians is priced
very reasonable compared to IPExpert and InternetworkExpert.
