Some of the things I think that is noticeably
different about Narbik's Bootcamp versus others are:
1. 9AM to Midnight with the Instructor - Other vendors
stop at 5-6pm and leave students to their own devices.
2. One-on-one attention on a candidates issues and
deficiencies. I've heard of at least one other
bootcamp that has two instructors dedicated per
sstudent (so I hear), but at other bootcamps, if a
student has "too many" deficiencies, then a student
may or may not get sufficient instructor attention.
Resulting in varying value to each student per
bootcamp. Hmmm... Not naming names here but it is
wrth mentioning.
3. Narbik is said to focus on basics and fundamentals
- well that is what the CCIE Lab consists of, so this
has value. As a veteran Boot Camp attendee at this
point, I can tell you that I've seen students (and yes
me too) flounder for (blush) several minutes (30 or
more) to hours on a mis-understood or basic topic. As
such I can tell you this derails the value of a
bootcamp to some students as well.
- Joe has a point here a well-prepared student has
little value attending a bootcamp. However, I'd say
based on my personal observations - most students are
just not that well-prepared - I know it took me two
year to get where I am now and I am thankful for the
experiences. Still acknowledging I have a bit to go.
Ok got a problem to resolve...
