Re: Narbik CCIE 2.0 bootcamp

Ok this is what i replied with:

YES, I am part of the 360, but my students get a mixture of 360 and my
NEW 2.0 boot camp.
YES, they do get Mock labs, and TS labs.
YES, the students are eligible for a FREE retake, but they need to
pass ONE of the assessment labs with a score of 80 or higher and get
my recommendation. I have told them that if they want my
recommendation they need to take care of me.JK
The recommendation is based on their performance in the class. If you
can not see your students knowledge and ability within a week, you
either are NOT interested or you have not done this 2 long ( THIS IS NOT
PICKING ON NEW INSTRUCTORS, SO PLEASE RELAX).
Yes, I do mentor, the philosophy here is that *our relationship starts*
*when the class ends*, unlike some vendors and I think my students will
testify that I have
always answered their questions.
The cost of the class is NOT what others think, its $2995, but the
students get the following:
Upon registration, an E-copy of Foundation
In the class, they get the NEW Advanced CCIE Routing and Switching
2.0. This is a 2500 page work book in FULL color with detailed
explanations of each command and task.
The 360 Vol-I and Vol-II + Lab guide, which contains the assessment labs.
The all NEW 2.0 Boot Camp work book.
NO, the students do not get a printed copy of anything, except the
questions of the work books (They get two printed work books that
contains the questions ONLY, BTW in full colour). I will not work hard
so a person or another training company can copy my materials and use
them, have they done it in the past? YES one training company here in
US and another one somewhere else.
NO.... I do not pay for meals, Taxi, or accommodations or long distance
calls.
