Re: CCIE certification value.

Although there certainly is an increase in cheating for the most part the
CCIEs that earned it via hands on experience and understanding
the
technologies are for the most part good network guys/gals.

Hi
All,

First of all , before sharing anything , I want to say that I mean no
offense to anybody or any certifications.

Just want you people to share your
views on CCIE certification value.

I am very upset with my experience with 3
CCIE certified candidates

I was interviewing 3 CCIE candidates for my company
requirement, although I
am not a CCIE ...am preparing for the LAB,just
cleared the written.

Out of three , two guys are CCIE(R&S) Lab certified and
one is dual
CCIE(R&S + Service Provider).

The first candidate was average on
theortical knowledge on various
technologies that I didn't expect form a CCIE
.But the main part is that he
doesn't have any practical knowledge on the
actual implementation in real
world.

The second candidate was below average
on theortical knowledge ,not able to
answer even few OSPF questions and forget
about the practical part. He too
was zero on it.

Now the third candidate who
is dual CCIE .He is working in Cisco. I was
expecting a lot from him. He was
good on the technical knowledge ...not as
good as I expected......but again on
the implementation part he was zero.

Don't you guys think that Cisco
certifications have become a ediucation
buisness.I could be wrong in saying
that but... i think the trend has
changed now ....and everyone is running for
just certification not becoming
actual IE.

And this is affecting a lot the
value of CCIE certification .....

Again I mean no offense to anyone who is
preparing for CCIE...I am too
preparing for LAB ,,, and some of the
assumptions I have made could be
wrong.

Regards,
Shekhar
