CCIE lab and VUE outsourcing

I have read from others this may be something in the offing in the future.
This would be a huge mistake for Cisco, the fraud associated with this would
make the CCIE an equivalent of an MCSE for cisco gear. The current fraud is
bad enough.
 
I personally witnessed this in Iraq when the "proctor' offer to hook me up
with people who would pay for me to take exams for them AND sell the complete
Q&As to the exams. I was doing a CCSP at the time, I did not take the offer
and reported this situation to both Cisco and Vue and absolutely nothing was
done. I reported it multiple times over a few years with the same result. This
is not an isolated situation as 2 other people bought the site from him and
guess what? Did the exact same thing. I have heard this is a common practice
in some of the newer testing locations that have been added somewhat
recently.
 
I had a guy who worked for me fail the CCNA 5 times before the "test center"
was in place and surprise surprise he passes his CCVP the first go around in 2
weeks so you tell me. When I asked him about it he refused to admit he
cheated or deny it so there you go.
 
As for cost of running the test centers either Cisco wants to protect the
integrity of thier certs or it does not it is that simple.
