RE: R&Sv5

In my experience, the real magic behind the 360 program was the
script-graded labs. They were worth the money.

I was also unimpressed by the 360 learning resources, but had no issues
finding competent training providers.

Hi,

regarding the 360 program i can only recommend let them show you their
material before spending money on that.
Their V5 Video Material did not change that much.(even though they added
some videos)...so the Tshoot Videos for example still have troubleshooting
FrameRelay in it...(maybe it becomes relevant with V6 again)

Reference Library still had 3550 Switches in it last time i had a look. and
the exercise Workbook consists of 20 IOU labs.
Other Vendors teach you how the technology works and how to configure it
before they let you do full scale labs.

Their assesment labs are fun but are not as difficult as the real one.

Of course these are only my personal thoughts....

Have a look at Narbiks Material, (best workbooks out there in my opinion),
INE and IPExpert.
you can do 360 assesment labs before the lab to see what works with IOU and
what not..

(...and all Vendors are still adding more stuff to their Workbooks at the
moment, including 360 :-) )

Greetings

Martin
