Overview
Through our partnership with GradedLabs.com, INE now offers simplified scheduling and advanced management control of CCIE Routing & Switching, CCIE Voice, CCIE Security, and CCIE Service Provider Rack Rentals that support all of our Self-Paced and Instructor-Led product lines.
Pricing
All CCIE Rack Rentals are scheduled in 5.5 hour blocks using our exclusive token system. This system is designed to give you the flexibility to schedule and reschedule your own sessions at your convenience. Each token purchased represents $1 USD and a session can be booked for an average of 2.6 tokens/hour. When consecutive sessions are scheduled on the same rack, you'll get uninterrupted access for the entire duration of the sessions for an even better value.

Simplified Scheduling
To schedule your CCIE Rack Rental Sessions, log in to your members account and click the Rack Rental Scheduler for the track that you want to book a session for. Check all the sessions you want and then click 'Schedule'. It's that easy! Our advanced scheduling system will schedule all your consecutive sessions on the same rack if they are available. You are also provided with tools to unschedule or reschedule your rack sessions without having to contact Customer Service.
Scheduling your CCIE Routing & Switching Graded Mock Lab is just as easy as scheduling a normal CCIE Rack Rental Session. Just log in to your members account, launch the Routing & Switching Mock Lab Schedular, check off when you want to take it, then click schedule. Like a rack rental session, you can unschedule and reschedule with just a few mouse-clicks and not have to email or call in to have it done for you.
Additionally this system allows you to book rack sessions that are currently in progress for a discounted rate. With this feature you can get immediate access to the study resources that you need 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
If you would like to watch a brief tutorial about scheduling rack sessions using our new token system please watch the "Using the GradedLabs.com Rack Scheduling System" instructional video.
For information on how to access the rack after you have purchased a session please view our "Accessing the Racks" tutorial.
