Course 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.)

Our popular 5-Day Boot Camp leads the industry! Learn from our renowned CCIE instructors in this intense course.  This course features a dedicated rack of Cisco gear, challenging labs and class materials.  The 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 student with an assessment of their readiness.

Compare with the Competition

Comparing training vendors? Nobody is committed to your success like GlobalNet Training and IPexpert. Ask the other companies...

• Do they have an investment protection guarantee program and how long are you covered by it?
• When you retake their class, do you get full access to a dedicated rack of equipment again or do you only “audit” the class with no access to hardware?
• Are the electronic versions of all updates offered at no charge?
• Do they have full-time employed instructors that also invest in your success by developing and continually improving the training content?
