I just got back from probably the most intensive and informative boot camp I
have ever taken.

Before going to class you will receive a prep workbook to work through. I
however didn't have time to do half if any of the labs but did manage to
read a few of them.

On the first day started with a joke and an introductions. Once all the
introductions are out of the way down to business. I have heard he has IOS
on the brain.. I can say it 100% and some!!! He starts teaching not with a
dim light slide show but writing the commands on the board from memory,
writing the sub-options from memory, explaining what all of them do and all
the possibilities depending on scenarios ! This is with drawing the
topology, device outputs and not missing a single thing. I can say if you
were proud of whatever certification you have got seeing this will make you
question yourself , yet he is so humble about the whole thing.

I will warn you if you were expecting a 8/9am to 5pm class this ain't it!
Class is a solid 10-12 hours with the necessary labs and breaks. I found
myself going to bed at 12-1am every morning. I'm lucky I had a game plan
that worked for me of waking up at 6am! working out, getting cleaned up and
then going to class. Narbik had breakfast, lunch and dinner with the
students everyday. Completely unheard of! from any of my experiences of
attending any Cisco classes.

During our class we had a few students that were retakes (On a couple from
the US and 1 that came over from the UK!), mind you he doesn't charge for
retakes for any of his students( he recommends that you take it again before
taking the lab) if you have paid for the class even if you have passed the
lab. He has a genuine interests in each student not just for making sure you
pass the exam but as a real relationship ( that's something you can't buy or
fake).

He keeps the learning environment fun and awesome learning experience. With
funny stories, simple explanations for what seems complex and no one ever
falling asleep because of the constant engagement he has with the students.I
have taught IT related classes (for 2 years) but I'm not even on the same
planet when it comes to the style, presentation, information and everything
else I can think of.

He wants honest feed back from the students (which we all felt like a team)
gives honest feedback and recommendations on how to approach the IE without
loosing your life and family in the process.

In my opinion there's not another training provider I would use or recommend
for the CCIE than Narbik. Also his grandmother has 2 CCIE's. :-)
