NARBIK’S BOOTCAMP - A GREAT PERSONAL INVESTMENT (N

Hi everyone,

I attended Narbiks bootcamp that ended in Dubai 9th Sept, 2011 and it was
the best investment I have made on the journey towards my number. I want to
share the true story of my experience at the bootcamp. Please mark my words,
no single exaggeration. It was fun!

 The training started with a brief introduction of each participant. We
introduced ourselves generally, names, our weak and strong areas of the
blueprint. During my introduction, I could not pin-point any area of my
weakness because I have done a lot of studies & labbing using different
vendor materials. But right from the 1st day of the bootcamp, Narbik started
revealing my weak points to me. He started his teaching in a traditional way
that anyone can understand, without a PowerPoint slide (I was like very soon
this man will show us something on the projector, no matter how little, but
alas he DIDNT; *I was amazed!*). He made the so called confusing
technologies like Qos, Multicast & MPLS extremely simple! I now have a good
UNDERSTANDING of these technologies like never before. Someone says, if you
cant explain it, you dont understand it enough - Very true saying. This
man understand it more than enough.

After the bootcamp I concluded that Narbik, is simply *an AUTHORITY*. He
pulls out CISCO COMMANDS from a source that I cannot comprehend, without
missing these commands. I think the network world should nick-name him
NARBIK-
MOBILE IOS .. lol . *Do I have anyone in this Group Study to second this
MOTION?* He will NEVER look at a router or switch before he write commands
on the whiteboard. You know another thing that amazed me more was that, he
will tell you commands that are hidden and the reason why they are hidden. I
was dumbfounded! How can a man know these much of commands without
missing-words! Narbik, I doff my CAP for you! I am sure the attendees will
have similar story if not same to tell.

One great thing about Narbik that I observed is that, he uses LIFE scenarios
to explain a particular technology. (you need to listen to Narbik when he
was explaining Multicast, he used an Estate Agent, a Landlord and an
individual searching for a house to rent . . . it was explained in a such a
way that any dummy can understand and NEVER forget and many others like
that). I enjoyed myself real good! It was fun all through, believe me!

Narbik is a very humorous man. It is difficult to be bored in his class.
Sleeping is not an option . . lol; It was an experience that is most
beneficial and enjoyable to me. I was so excited! It really enhanced the
depth of my knowledge; it gave me a boost morally and increased my
confidence. Everyone in attendance had one positive comment or the other to
make. We kept discussing him during the break, that everyone who wishes to
have his\her CCIE number should go this route. It is a STATIC route with the
lowest administrative distance. . . lol

I strongly recommend everyone there on this CCIE journey to have a budget to
attend NARBIKS BOOTCAMP, it is a *MUST* to attend. I bet you it will never
be a regret. Attending this bootcamp at any stage to me is not a bad idea,
especially when it is not too close to your date, because Narbik will expose
you to so MANY things in the technology that you will wish you have more
time before your date to lab it out enough.

Honestly, I wish the bootcamp could be extended for more days but at the
same cost anyway . .lol, because I was just enjoying and learning a lot and
a lot each day from this Mentor, (he says his relationship starts when the
bootcamp ends . . amazing!) I was impressed! At some points in the class he
will stop and give a fatherly advice with life scenarios. . oh . . . how I
wish the bootcamp did not end. Well, for me it is not over. I will attend
his bootcamp again before I hit CISCO and they will not have any choice than
to give me my number, sure!

What an experience! Good value for money.

Please hear this saying You need a FATHER to go FAR, you need a LADDER to
see FURTHER, you also need a FATHER to move FARTHER and ultimately you need
a MENTOR to MEND you to your number . . . lol; I believe that *father*,
that *ladder* and that *mentor* is NARBIK!

Please, can anyone that has attended Narbiks bootcamp elsewhere in the
world testify to this experience???

Thank you.
