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

Brandon,

I never stated that you cant go to another vendor, IPX and INE are
fantastic vendors offering CCIE program for a long time.

BTW, I do teach the lower certs, like BGP and MPLS and the cost of my class
is one of the lowest in the market with FREE retakes.

Cm,

I am sorry that you have changed your mind about attending my boot camp, but
it does NOT matter what I believe or what I dont believe, this is whats
happened and if I agree or disagree it wont make a difference, so please
understand that what I am saying here is to cool down and study, dont
poison your blood.

I am NOT changing my style of teaching for ANYONE, I am what I am, and I
like to teach, so just because I joined the 360 program and Cisco came up
with his promotion, it does not mean that I am NOT the same person.

In a way I dont agree with this promotion because its NOT fair to the
people that like to study on their own, and NOT because some of the vendors
that have NOT joined the program. They had an option to provide a different
view/perspective to their students and they choose NOT to do that.

Just because you did not go through the OEQs, it does NOT mean that you are
a less knowledgeable person. Scott or bunch of others have NOT gone through
the OEQs, does that mean that they dont know what they are talking about?

I never cared for the OEQs anyways, and in a way I am glad that my students
wont have to go through the OEQs. Its a choice that you have to make. If
you were one of those people that did not care for OEQs, now you have a
chance NOT to do them.

 Ryan,

Yes I am teaching a class, I dont know where you are from, but I let my
students go to lunch and while they are at lunch, I reply to some of my
e-mails, what the heck is wrong with that??????????????? I am in Poland and
if you *care *to know about the class, let me know and I will get you to
talk to them, you will be surprised, but if you dont care, why make a
statement????

Pass4sure????? Just because the students dont have to do the OEQs????
