IPexpert CCIE Security Boot Camp Overview:

This intense course is designed to prepare CCIE candidates for the one-day Security "hands-on" lab exam. Over five days candidates will solidify their existing knowledge, expose their weaknesses and gain vital test taking strategies. This class is designed for candidates who are within 6 months of their lab date. The class does not cover introductory material and candidates are expected to have at a minimum a CCSP level knowledge of the topics covered in order to receive the full benefit of the class. Each candidate will work through challenging scenarios on their own vRack of equipment. Each student will be given dedicated access to their individual vRack throughout the course. (We strongly recommend that you have purchased and completed a majority of the labs in our CCIE Security Lab Preparation Workbook prior to attending this course.)

This class consists of several hours of lecture per day and up to 10 hours or more of hands-on preparation per day. Be prepared to stay late every evening. During the class the instructor will identify some of the most common mistakes that candidates make and at the end of the week, will provide each individual an assessment of their readiness.

“With my previous training for other certifications, there were almost too many vendors to choose from. But when I decided it is time to go for the CCIE, I found that the selection was narrowed alot. I can tell you that I am funding my own training so you can bet I have shopped around and have done my homework. I surfed all the websites and bulletin boards and I talked to other guys going for this. After that I picked IPexperts for my studying.”
—Erin Tobias CClE (Security) Candidate
