RE: CCDE Bootcamps

Jay,

Thanks for the slander! Calling myself and my company cheap and corrupt
is absurd.

Samarth - if you have any questions about our program, please feel free
to contact me and I'll be happy to provide you with any information you
desire.

As of now, we have four people we have helped get their CCDE:

Thanks

*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!
