IPexpert Announces Comprehensive 'Blended Learning Program' for Expert-Level Cisco Engineers

China, MI — May 06, 2008 — Computer networking engineers working toward the Cisco Certified Internetworking Expert (CCIE) certification now have more tools at their disposal than ever before. The CCIE is the highest-level career certification offered by Cisco Systems, the global networking giant. Less than 25,000 individuals currently hold the CCIE designation, which certifies them among the elite pool of true experts worldwide.

IPexpert, Inc. (http://www.ipexpert.com) has unveiled a new Blended Learning Program(TM) designed to fully prepare those preparing for the coveted title, which entails passing a grueling 8-hour-long hands-on "lab" exam. Previously, the preparation process meant 6-18 months worth of studying with various self-preparation materials and media types found through a myriad of resources and vendors.

With its newly released Blended Learning Program, IPexpert has consolidated "best of breed" training tools that have proven most effective over the company's seven years in business. The full suite of up-to-date resources, combining thousands of pages of written materials with dozens of hours' worth of recorded audio lectures and video tutorials, is shipped to the customer on one compact external hard drive.

This innovation in CCIE training allows the candidate to take their training with them wherever they may go. And for senior-level networking engineers that spend most of their time traveling to customer locations, this is a tremendous advantage.

"The CCIE is the premiere, most sought-after career certification for serious engineers," explained Matt Brooks, Vice President of IPexpert. "We expect to see the other training vendors adopt this new method of delivery and quickly offer similar programs, which will effectively revolutionize the niche market we serve."

China, MI — August 27, 2007 — Inc. ranked IPexpert as #1514 on its first-ever Inc. 5,000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in the country.

“The Inc. 5,000 provides the most comprehensive look ever at the most important part of the economy – the entrepreneurial part,” said Inc. 5,000 Project Manager, Jim Melloan. “The expansion of the list has allowed us to tell the stories of larger companies, older companies and a wealth of companies in industries like Manufacturing and Construction that are underreported in the business media.
