About Our CCIE Security One Week Lab Experience Boot Camp

If you're serious about PASSING the CCIE Security Lab exam, you've come to the right organization!  IPexpert has trained MORE CCIE SECURITY engineers than any company in the world! 

The IPexpert CCIE Security One Week Lab Experience is designed for CCIE Security candidates in the last month or weeks before their CCIE Security Lab exam. During the week you will tackle challenging full-day mock labs Monday through Thursday. You will practice time management, learn test taking strategies and expose your weaknesses so that you can rectify them before your actual lab. On the final day of the course, the Instructor will review with you the progress you made on each lab and help you plan a strategy to improve any areas of weakness before your real CCIE Security Lab exam.

During each day of the labs, the Instructor will act as a proctor by providing clarification in the same manner the proctor will during your actual CCIE Security Lab exam to best replicate the actual lab environment. You will be challenged to think problems through without having the solution handed to you, which is an important part of your preparation training. After you have been asked to preform troubleshooting and assessment, if you still need assistance, of course the Instructor will assist you in figuring out your issues, and developing a world-class troubleshooting approach so the next time you encounter the same problems, you'll be able to quickly identify and solve these issues.

This challenging course contains difficult mock labs with detailed solutions guides on advanced topics including configuration and troubleshooting of ASA 8.0 firewalls, IOS firewalls, VPN solutions, IPS 4200 sensors, ACS server 4.1, control plane security, management plane security, advanced security, network attack mitigation amongst others with the course being frequently reviewed to ensure that it is up to date and meets the latest topics tested on the CCIE Lab exam blueprint.

Throughout the course you will have unlimited access to your own personal rack of equipment matching the CCIE Security 3.0 Lab blueprint. By immersing yourself in an environment without the distraction of work and personal obligations, you will maintain the undisrupted focus required to benefit from the labs during the week.

This course is the final preparation step used by candidates prior to their CCIE Security Lab exam and has been the key to success for many of your peers around the world, recognized as the most effective preparation course available anywhere.

“"My trip along the CCIE road was pretty aligned fully with IPexpert's offerings."”
By: Victor Lam, CCIE #21365 (Security)

My trip along the CCIE road was pretty aligned fully with IPexpert's offerings. From the Workbook and Proctor Guide to the Bootcamp and One Week Lab Experience, IPexpert provided me with a very easy-to-follow, prescriptive way to learn the techniques required to succeed and build a strong base of knowledge not just for the CCIE but also beyond.

[The instructors] both know material very, very well; I was always amazed by how quickly they were able to troubleshoot my configurations in the classes as well as in the support they provided me afterwards.

 
 
“Great customized direction to each student.”

IPexpert's boot camp was the final and most important step in my preparation for the lab. The Instructors are simply amazing. They are very knowledgeable and eager to help you along the journey to passing the lab...always prepared and kept the class on course, giving great customized direction to each student.

They really helped me to find and focus on my weak points, and were instrumental to my success. Thanks for all your help!
