End-to-End Blended Learning Solution

Do you want everything that GlobalNet Training and IPexpert can deliver? When you register for the End-to-End “Blended Learning Solution” Program, we will send you our entire portfolio of self-study products, and you will also attend both instructor-led week-long courses!

What To Expect - PHASE 1 (Self-Study)

The Self-Study Blended Learning Solution contains an unmatched quantity of recently-updated and newly-created material designed with our renowned “Learn By Doing™” approach. This program provides you with a consolidated learning experience delivered through various forms of media – workbooks, DVD’s and CD’s. Each component is built into a streamlined, user-friendly learning environment that maximizes your study time and focus!

Upon registration, we will provide you with the CCIE Voice Blended Learning Solution, which includes all of our self-study products. You will receive a 100GB portable hard drive (Windows, Mac and Linux compatible) configured with a user-friendly menu and navigation system.

What To Expect - PHASE 2 (Instructor-Led Classroom Training)

After completing the self-study product line described above, you will attend 10 days of intense training in a classroom facility. Once you arrive to the classroom, you receive 10 very full days of instructor-led training. You will be assigned a dedicated pod of equipment (vRack) to access throughout the course (includes the weekend between Week 1 and Week 2).

The course materials you receive will be different from the self-study products you worked through during Phase 1 of this Blended Learning Program. This is an important distinction, as many training vendors use their self-study workbooks in the classroom as well. Our self-study products are specifically designed for that purpose and our course materials are prepared for the classroom environment.

Week One: The first week consists of a combination of CCIE Voice lab lectures and hands-on experience. Your instructor will review the wording of lab tasks and many of the common mistakes encountered by lab candidates.

Week Two: Monday through Thursday will consist of four full-day mock lab exams. Friday is reserved for a Q&A sessions, review, and group discussions. During the first four days of week two, the instructor will be available for individual discussions, questions and guidance.

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?
