CCIEs: You should check to see who is using your number without

This email is for all of those who want to be a CCIE. When you look around you will see many sites claiming to have trained many CCIEs. That site is claiming that if you use their products you can be a CCIE just like the CCIEs on their roster. That the CCIE on their web site is endorsing their products and training.

Well I can tell you that most sites are lying. Like this fly by night CCIE rip-off site.

I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF OR USED THEM. You should stay away from them whomever they are.

I HAVE NEVER USED THEM or their products to get my CCIE. I do not endorse them in any way. They are lying to you by putting my number on their wall. I have a friend that has used them and thinks they are a complete rip-off. BTW they are using his number to lie to you into thinking that their training helped him get his CCIE and he endorses them.

Another site lying to you. I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF OR USED THEM. You should stay away from them whomever they are.

So to the above websites get my name and number off your wall Robert Hosford CCIE No. 14711.

It is people like this the Cisco had to create the 360 program so you know is reputable.

If you want to get your CCIE number talk to Bruce at NetMasters. I know for a fact they are the real deal. After all Bruce has trained many of the other guys. The only site I authorize to use my number is NetMaster. No one else is to be using it. http://www.netmasterclass.com/CCIE/Cisco-360-Learning-Program-Products-and-Services/Advanced-Workshops/Former-Student-Reviews/

To all other CCIEs I implore you to check out who is using your number without permission. Remember your number is being used as a form of endorsement. Together we can we have honest and better training for everyone.

Signed,

Robert Hosford
