CCVP Instructor-Led Bootcamps

I took the exam last Friday in RTP and received the news today. This was also my first attempt!!!! My studies were made up of Reading the SRND section by section and understanding the technology as well as going through Vol 1 workbook and understanding the questions and the task. Once I was able to do the task and meet the requirements I then moved onto full labs and trying to put it all together. The week before my lab I completed my last and final full mock lab that Sat. After that no more labbing, I felt I could do the lab so the rest of the week I would do specific topics just to stay sharp but not any full labs. Going back to my sport days you practice, practice, practice then rest before you match, game or event. I did the same with the lab and I feel that paid off pretty good. I was worried about the OEQ, but like everyone has stated. If you really prepare for the exam the OEQ are easy. I would like to thank Josh Finke, and Mark Snow, for all the study material and advice as well as my study partner "Twann Atkins". So be on the lookout for their success stories coming soon.

"More than impressed with the talent at INE and their contribution as trusted advisors to my success in achieving this certification. I had the opportunity to spend a week at the bootcamp in Reno and solidify the gaps in my knowledge before facing the actual lab. Being able to throw questions back at live bodies while in the midst of mock-lab tasks is priceless as those 'pesky' questions usually surface when studying and your phone-a-friends are out drinking. Much thanks to Josh for his time, insight and patience and for having the tenacity to take students under his wing and provide the necessary resources to strengthen their understanding of core technologies. Cathartic experience for sure. Now time for a little break, a little make-up family time, then on to Security!"

I just wanted to let you know I passed CCIE Voice on Jan 26. My CCIE # remains same from R&S - 21176. I have used your Version 3 Class On Demand, Volume 1 & 2 and the Core Knowledge Simulation.

Hello, I passed my voice lab on 8th June, my first CCIE. I used your Workbook and Rack Rental for my preparation. Your CCIE blog is the best has good explanation for understanding hard topic. Thanks.

Am so happy that I can share you my story as one of the expert voice people  really its a nice felling to clear such thing from first attempt, now has some time for reset and enjoying the life :p My CCIE journey started after I have cleared my CCIE written exam on 6th of September, 2010. Nobody was known that am planning for such thing even my mom. We have Wisdom says: help yourself to clear things by making it secret I used to dedicate 4 6 hours per day for studying and making the Thursday for rest, I was focusing on INE material not cause INE is the best, actually I dont have any idea about other materials but I know INE is one of the good reputation in the market, the reason was to make myself focusing in one material and prevent my mind from desperations. I started with class on demand videos repeating it twice, first time understanding next time summarized it in notepad and practicing the scenario which the instructor did. After that I went through the workbooks doing the scenarios, two weeks before the exam I have practiced on time management taking one scenario and trying to finalize each section at committed time. 3 days before the exam I didnt do anything I was going with my IT friends for playing cards and having some fun..!!!!!! This is make me more relax  All of them were shocked when they saw my facebook status CCIE # 28326 I have cleared my CCIE on 7th of march, 2011 it was my first attempt and dont have such experience to advise you but Ill tell you some tips that I see it may can help: - Regardless the material you are using, master it and dont try to look at others. - Make thing secret so less stress less mistakes. - Practicing for time management is one of the most important things, for CCIE voice there some common sections (infrastructure, phone registration, GW PSTN integration) you have to make it as fast as you can. - Having last couple of days for relaxations and fun. Hope you all the best and hope I have add something to you.
