IPexpert's 5-Day CCIE Routing & Switching (4.0) Lab Preparation Bootcamp
The 5-Day CCIE Routing & Switching (4.0) Lab Preparation Bootcamp is designed for CCIE R&S candidates ready for an intense five day course designed to challenge and immerse students in the knowledge needed to attain the CCIE R&S certification. Over five long days candidates existing knowledge will be solidified, any weaknesses exposed and gain vital test-taking strategies.
In IPexpert’s popular Bootcamp includes hours of in depth lecture from one of IPexpert's world renowned CCIE Instructors. Instructors will provide detailed explanation and facilitate group discussion. Students will also receive individual attention from the instructor if needed. After each day’s lectures students will be challenged with hours of extremely complex lab scenarios reinforcing the material covered during the day.
Our 5-Day CCIE Routing & Switching (4.0) Lab Preparation Bootcamp contains both detailed explanations and challenging labs on advanced topics including Cisco switching, Spanning Tree Protocol (including variants such as MSTP, RSTP, PVST), Dot1Q tunnels, Frame Relay, PPP, RIP, EIGRP, OSPF, BGP, MPLS, Troubleshooting, routing protocol redistribution & filtering, router security & management, QOS, multicast and IPv6 to just name a few. The course is frequently reviewed to ensure that it is up to date and meets the latest topics tested on the CCIE R&S 4.0 lab exam blueprint. In addition, the Instructor will provide invaluable tips on lab strategy and test preparation techniques to maximize the opportunity to pass the CCIE R&S lab exam.
Throughout the course students will have unlimited access to their own personal rack of equipment matching the CCIE R&S lab blueprint. Immersing students in an environment without the distraction of work and personal obligations, students will maintain focus required to benefit from the volume of material concentrated into one week.
This course has been the key to success for many of CCIE's around the world, recognized as the most effective preparation course available anywhere.

Marko, a dual CCIE who has recently passed the CCIE R&S 4.0 lab, has spent 12 years designing and supporting some of Europe's largest service provider networks. He is accredited with designing the largest multi-service internet infrastructure in Iceland. He has been working with IPexpert over the past few years developing several self-study products, and will now be more-heavily involved in product development, product support and classroom training (throughout Europe, Australia and Asia) on full time basis.
I had a great bootcamp last week with instructor Joe Astorino and intense doesn’t begin to describe it. Come prepared to drink from the firehose of Cisco guru knowledge all day and work through practice labs all night – exactly what I was looking for. Not only did I walk away having learned an enormous amount of new information, but also with a sense of clarity on what areas of the CCIE lab blueprint I need to focus on most.
Thanks!
It is finally over and I like to thank IPEXPERT for helping me during this path.
The boot camp was really helpful cause his hints and experience about the CCIE LAB helped a lot. I recommend you to take the boot camp cause it really helpful. He will review with you all those topics that you need to know for the CCIE Lab exam.
Thank you.
