Re: CCDE Bootcamps

*NOTE*
CCBootcamp is absolute crap. I won't waste your time here, but all of there books last year were filled with typos, incorrect solutions, and not a good learning tool. I wasted my money, time, and effort on their bootcamp and workbooks for R&S. Maybe they have improved, but when the company is corrupt and cheap at its root (Brad Ellis), I don't expect any improvement, regardless of the track. There are a few instructors and people that have worked for them that I have spoken to, and each will agree with my statements above.

Stick with the three best players-
IPExpert, INE, and Micronics (Narbik). I've used all three for R&S and doing the same for CCIE Security now.

I hope this helps. Happy Labbing!
