Did anyone ever notice that no one ever offers a payment plan for real lab
fees or these real labs? I was working as a pre-sales engineer today and
the system costed x but cisco would less is for x for 60 months.
So did anyone ever notice that strange enough there is no try before you buy
plan or lease plan with the lab exam? According to cisco people take this
at least 3-4 times on average or more. 4 x $1400 = $5,600.00 + cost of
classes and other learning materials and practice lab sessions. So why not
offer a bundled lease program.
Say 4 weeks fo training and 4 lab attempts and then bundle it for say
$25,000.00 and 100 lab sessions for another $5000.00 and now we have a
$30,000.00 product.
A 60 month lease for this sku might cost only $600.00 per month with a $1.00
buyout after a person passes the lab. Of course if the client passes early
a refund might be in order for unused lab attempts.
I guess if most people knew the lab would cost them over $30,000.00, and
average of at least 4 weeks of training or maybe 5 if we throw in a ccie
written exam. Then add an average of at least $4000.00 - 5000.00 for travel
and expenses. Add another 4-5 weeks off for paid or worse unpaid training
to the package. And then add over 800 hours for a first time pass a lot of
people might reconsider the how much this program costs. And it might take
2-6 years to finish.
