IPexpert's 5-Day CCIE Voice (3.0) Lab Preparation Bootcamp
IPexpert's 5-Day CCIE Voice (3.0) Lab Preparation Bootcamp is designed for CCIE Voice candidates ready for an intense five day course designed to be challenging. Clients will be immersed in the knowledge needed to attain the CCIE Voice certification. Over five lengthy days, existing knowledge will be solidified, weaknesses exposed and clients will also gain vital test-taking strategies.
In the Bootcamp, clients will receive hours of in depth lecture and hands-on demonstrations from one of IPexpert's world renowned CCIE instructors providing detailed explanations and facilitate group discussions/whiteboard chalk-talk sessions. Clients will also have access to individual attention from the instructor when personal mentoring is needed. After each day’s lectures, clients will be challenged with hours of extremely complex lab scenarios that run late into the evening. These lab scenarios reinforce the material covered earlier in the day. At the end of the class clients will be given a second 8 hour mock-lab that can be attempted at any stage after the class.
This specialized course contains both detailed explanations and challenging labs on advanced topics including configuration & troubleshooting of CUCM 7.x, Unified Presence 7.x, Unity Connection 7.x, Unified Contact Center Express 7.x, H323 Gatekeepers, Unified Border Elements (CUBE), SIP Trunks, CME, expert level Dial-Plan implementation, SRST, AAR, IPMA, B-ACD, T1/E1 PRI, MGCP & H323 gateways, Frame Relay / Catalyst 3750 QoS, RTMT and RSVP, among other protocols and voice applications.
All of the labs are based on the 3-site topology that is used in the testing environment. The labs contain 2 UCM sites plus 1 CME site or 3 UCM sites. Candidates are able to verify their work using 7962 IP Phones that are connected to a switch at every site. All of the IP phones (including the PSTN phone) are physically present in the classroom.
The course is being frequently reviewed to ensure that it is up to date and meets the latest topics tested on the CCIE lab exam blueprint. In addition, the Instructor will give invaluable tips on lab strategy and test preparation techniques to maximize the opportunity to pass the real CCIE Voice lab exam.
Throughout the course clients will have unlimited access to their own personal rack of equipment matching the CCIE Voice lab blueprint. Being immersed in an environment without the distraction of work and personal obligations, clients will maintain the undisrupted 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 for the CCIE Voice lab exam available anywhere.

I started my CCIE journey about 8 months ago but have been working with this technology for over some time. I took my first step by calling Neil Apolzan who directed me towards a right path by pointing out the Blended Learning Solution. The BLS material was like an appetizer for me to light the fire, and Proctor Labs kept it burning.
I took my first attempt on 08 OCT 2008, and went to the Boot Camp week following to that. I know for sure that Boot Camp was the bridge for me that connected all the dots leading me to pass my second attempt on 24 Nov 2008.
I went through the IPexpert CCIE Voice Boot Camp twice. The first time was prior to the change in blueprint, and I did not take my lab on that attempt. The second time was on the new blueprint. I completed my first lab attempt yesterday. I did not pass, but I was not flying blind. The IPexpert 5-day boot camp was extremely helpful to preparing me for the lab. The lab scenarios we used in the boot camp were in tune with the general tenor of the lab. I was well-prepared for the lab as a result of going through the lab scenarios and would not hesitate to recommend IPexpert’s voice boot camp to any CCIE Voice candidate.
