My name is Mladen Papric and I from Serbia. My CCIE number is 19695 and it is from Security. I have passed exam from first try and I have many thanks to give to the CCIE Security End to End program from IPexpert. On that camp I have bust my knowledge, I had great insight to problem I new I had and problems I didn’t know I had. So I have paid special attention to those problems and with help of IPexpert instructor I overcome those problems. And most importantly I have learned time management. 

I wish to express my gratitude to IPexpert for being a major contributing factor towards my success in the CCIE Security lab exam. I used your CCIE Security workbooks and video tutorials. The Technology-focused CCIE Security Workbook Volume 1 helped me to have a deeper understanding of the various technologies in the security lab blueprint. The CCIE Security Workbook Vol 2 Multiprotocol Mock (3.0) LAB  and the Walk-Through Video Tutorials for the Mock LAB were invaluable in understanding how the various technologies work together. The Walk-Through Video in particular cleared some grey areas and helped a lot in understanding how to methodically troubleshoot a network. I recommend these materials for any aspiring CCIE.

I am happy to inform that I have received my CCIE number on the 27th November 2008. I have purchased and used IPexpert material and I can strongly say it helped me a lot to develop my skills during the preparation. 

Thank you to all the team behind the IPexpert Security Workbook and the excellent service given.

The study materials from IPexpert played a very important role in my recent success on the CCIE Security lab. I used their practice labs in conjunction with their security rack rental service through proctorlabs.com. The difficulty of the labs scaled very well and challenged me every step of the way. I would recommend this combination to anyone preparing for the Security CCIE lab. 

I passed the CCIE Security on October 6th, 2009 and now I am proud to be CCIE #25629. 

My lab studying started last year and had a failure March, still for v2. Then I started to study for V3. 

I used IPexpert workbooks and I’ve found them awesome!!! Read carefully every lab from both volume 1 and 2 and practice a lot… You will be good for the lab portion…For the OEQ, I recommend people reading all the examples, I mean, the explanation part why you are configuring it and be sure you are able to explain even with your own words... Ah, reading Q&A documents at Cisco site is also good for OEQ. 

Finally, try to develop a strategy to solve the lab. Remember that 4 points for an “easy” (easy means that YOU know how to do it without looking for any documentation) question values the same that 4 points for a tough question… 

To finish, I had scheduled my exam in August to be doing it in October when something nobody desires happened. I was almost good to go when I had the sad news that my mother had passed away. I almost quit the idea of doing the test, but I am sure she would be very happy if I passed it, as she was expecting me to do so…
