RE: OEQ Waiver program! No MORE OEQ for Cisco 360 students.

Wow, a lot of crying going on from non-Cisco 360 vendors. Give it a break.
We all know this is your ONLY response to this new program from Cisco. It's
a great idea and a good way for Cisco to help promote their training
programs.

Cisco controls the 360 training, so why not validate the core knowledge
skills as part of the process. It makes sense to me. Especially since core
knowledge is such a small part of the exam anyhow. You still need to pass
the TS and Config sections.

"During a Cisco 360 Learning Program workshop, students complete a series of
performance assessments that demonstrate their understanding of the CCIE
material and serve the same purpose as the Core Knowledge section of the
exam. Therefore, Cisco 360 Learning Program students who use the waiver
will not be required to type out answers to the Core Knowledge questions and
will be allowed to move immediately to the next section of the lab exam."

If you want to do Cisco 360 and decline the waiver, I see no reason why you
couldn't do that. So stop your complaining. This is a great option for
people to pick from. If you don't like it, then don't pick it as an option.
Very easy.

Oh, I'm just curious. If you get two courses, do you get to skip
Troubleshooting, too? I mean, candidates "demonstrate troublsehooting
skills" too during bootcamps, don't they? Three courses for the entire
exam?
