 So how is your schedule for coming to Chicago the last week in May? I'm
pretty sure we won't be able to get Marko to show up there as well, but I
can work on that if it would make you feel better!

That soon enough?

  I have basically narrowed my search down after a comparison of web sites. I
  would like to possibly sit a class with you Scott. Can you tell me when
  your next class will be? Also, how about a class with Marko? Time is
  becoming narrow for me.

  Many Thanks....again,

     Well... Ok... Let's be more specific...
    
    The only way you can sit for a CCIE lab again is:
    
    1. Take a new track
    2. Let your CCIE expire for god knows what reason, and retake the lab exam
    again...
    
    Being that #2 implies a three year process of doing absolutely nothing, I
    would highly advise against it.
    
    But technically, you are correct, you COULD sit the same track a second
    time.
    
    Even though we technically "qualify" by passing the written exam again for
    recertification, the system will not (at least never used to) let you take
    the lab exam again for something which you are already certified in.

    Good Evening Gentlemen,
    As a former CCIE that is currently in process of recertification.
    
    First off I would like to correct Mr. Anthony Sequeira.
    As stated in earlier thread.
    "Once we pass the lab exam for a track, we are not permitted to take the
    lab exam again"
    
    According to Cisco recertification documenation: http://www.cisco.com/web/learning/le3/ccie/recert/index.html Recertification Details
     To maintain active status, every 24 months CCIEs are required to pass
    one of the following: any CCIE written exam of their choosing, a CCIE
    lab exam, or either of the CCDE exams.
    
    It appears that a CCIE can recertify by passing the lab again.
    
    Im not implying or trying to say that you should go by weather there
    is a current CCIE with a training vendor, I agree with the other folks
    in saying that there are many great instructors as I have been a
    student of many on this list. I will be more active as I will have to
    retake the written and the lab exam again.
    
    Sincerely,
    John Matijevic

     As usual, I agree 100% with what Scott is saying. No vendor or person
    is going to hand you a CCIE. We can all help provide you with
    materials and great training that will allow you to acquire the skills
    necessary to earn one.

      Passing the lab today versus last year versus 10 years ago has nothing
    to do with whether they know what they are doing.
    
    And that's the point in that it shouldn't be part of the criteria!
    
    Marko is a great guy, and very bright... NO doubt about that. but he's
    not going to teach you the "exam", he's going to teach you the
    technologies and how to work through them so that YOU can pass the lab.
    
    It's the same thing that I would do. It's the same thing Anthony would
    do. It's the same thing Narbik would do.
    
    Experience, as you noted, is a good thing to look at! And, this is
    Marko's second CCIE anyway. But I think he was smart before he got his
    first one! ;)

     I understand what you're saying Anthony. I respect experience, that's why I
     mentioned Mr. Morris. But I am confused. Do you mean that someone that has
     just passed doesn't know what they are doing? I just want the most current
     training that will be relevant to me. I'm sure the intentions either way
     are best. Also, can someone tell me when Scott Morris will be teaching the
     next routing and switching bootcamp.
    
     Danke,

       Hi Charles!
    
       Feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions regarding the
       INE materials or more specifically, the bootcamp.
    
       I think that basing this very important decision on which organization has
       instructors that are so new to the Routing and Switching track that they
       have passed since October 19th, 2009 is not the correct approach.

         I am planning on a bootcamp in Germany Area. I am looking at IPexpert
    
       and
    
         INE. I can travel abroad if needed. My question is, what bootcamp
    
       should I
    
         take? I have heard that IPexpert is the only company that has instructor
         which has passed the new version of CCIE lab but I like Scott Morris and
    
       I
    
         think he owns INE or something. Any recommendations?
    
         Many Thanks,
