Re: CCIE R&S lab advice about workbooks

Michael is right on the money.

But you MUST go with the vendor that you feel comfortable with. You MUST
audit their boot camps before signing up for one, people don't do that, but
they must realise that they will be interacting with that vendor from time
to time, they need to ask questions and have the vendor answer their
questions in a timely manner.

But i do agree going with two vendors, because you get to see it from two
different perspective.

Can you retake, can you get free updates and etc etc etc etc etc when you
read their workbook, do you understand their explanations? are they trying
to teach you the stuff or are they trying to amaze you with some useless
info? it's all important.

From my perspective they are all GR8. you can not go wrong with any of the
vendors here, you have Micronics (us), NetMaster, IPexpert, and INE. ALL
GR8.

BTW, congratulation to my son (Patrick) for passing his CCNA, i am proud of
him, soon he will be going for CCNP and CCIE. Patrick studied with Anthony
Sequeira and Todd Lammle, these two instructors did an amazing job. He is
forever grateful to them.

Good luck.
