Pass the CCIE Lab in your first
attempt!
We are also not in the pure
numbers game. A majority of our students have passed on their first attempt.
We dont know of anyone who needed more than 2 attempts. We believe we
do a much better job training fewer people for CCIE and nurturing their
study and preparation till they clear the exams than just training people
in bulk and having larger numbers (but much poorer passing ratios)
who pass.
Our training is now based on the upcoming Version 4.0 of Cisco
CCIE® Routing and Switching certification will test hands-on troubleshooting,
Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), and VPN networking.
Our DUAL CCIE R&S trainer is additionally a CCIE in the Service Provider
track which means we are more than adequately qualified to teach you these
topics (which are covered far more extensively in the Service Provider
track) at the expert level!

Our CCIE (R&S) Lab Training:
More than just a boot camp - we call
it the CCIE incubator!
Offered in full day mode in 4 weeks format (OR
as a customised one to one training based on your schedules and desired
course duration).
A 4 week intensive course goes a long way in getting candidates ready
& we allow practice on our equipment post-training. We are often able
to judge the candidates readiness for the exam and if you give us &
yourself enough time for thorough preparation, we believe you should be
able to pass the exam on your first attempt.
We offer FAR more than just a bootcamp. Our strong commitment to post
program support right upto the point where the participant gets his CCIE
number is probably the most attractive reason to choose us for your training
needs.
Just some of the highlights of our CCIE R&S Lab training...
- DUAL CCIE faculty: Training
is led by DUAL CCIE Javed Khan. He is a CCIE
in R&S & SP track. This also means that areas like QoS & BGP which are very important and difficult
areas in the lab are taught to you by an expert in those topics, since
those are topics that the SP track focuses in far more detail than the
R&S track.
He has extensive experience in training students to become a true internetwork expert... passing the CCIE lab exam exam should come naturally when you are an expert!
- Multiple CCIE racks:
Dedicated rack for every participant for the entire duration of the
course.
- Intensive programs (4
weeks) that cover several individual protocol labs and multi protocol
full day labs.
- We
believe in providing individual attention, not training in bulk.
This results in a far higher percentage of people who pass after our
training in their 1st attempt. We don’t know of anyone who has taken
more than 2 attempts to pass. This is something we believe we alone
can claim.
- Based
on participant feedback, we have understood that a 100% labs approach
is most helpful for CCIE training. However, we cover concepts involving
areas of difficulties for majority of participants as well as those
not covered in depth at CCNP level: BGP, QoS, MPLS
- Unlike
other institutes where your CCIE trainer will teach you some days of
theory and leave you by yourself when you do the labs, our CCIE trainers
are always by your side during the entire duration of the course. We
help you understand why you are not getting the desired results in a
lab, teach you to troubleshoot problems and show you how to increase
your pace so that you can solve complex labs within an 8 hour time-frame.
- Post
program support: It is our endeavor that each of our CCIE (lab) training
participant passes their CCIE lab exam. A 4 week intensive
course goes a long way in getting candidates ready & we allow practice
on our equipment post-training. We are often able to judge the candidates
readiness for the exam and if you give us & yourself enough time
for thorough preparation, we believe you should be able to pass the
exam on your first attempt.
- We
offer more than just a bootcamp. Our strong
commitment to post program support right upto
the point where the participant gets his CCIE number is probably the
most attractive reason to choose us for your training needs.
Our equipments is made available to past participants who are yet to clear their exams for their practice which they can use at night times. Working with others who have also undertaken training with us forms a strong study group & support group & is of great value to each participant. This support group is of immense value to our course participants. To give a few examples, it considerably reduces the time you would take to solve any problem you are stuck with when you have somebody who has been through it before to explain you how to solve it & why its solved in a certain way.
Having a group is also helps a lot when it comes to sharing resources.
If you live in India, don't just take our word for
it - come and visit us, see our institute, our infrasturcture, meet our
trainers and then decide!
The small amount of time you spend to do this before joining any institute
will save you several months of time in terms of how soon you will be
ready for the CCIE lab exam!
Hardware changes implemented for all CCIE batches from Jan 2007:
Exam payment policy changes:
Hardware changes:
Based on the hardware changes in the CCIE lab, we've upgraded our pods
by adding 2 x 3560 switches in each pod.
Each pod now has 4 layer 3 catalyst switches: 2 each or 3550
& 3560 switches. Routers use IOS version 12.4
Every participant is provided a dedicated
POD for himself for the entire 4 weeks duration of the course.
The CCIE incubator program (regular training) consists of 4 weeks
of rigorous training.
The first week is focused on technology specific lab training.
This is largely hands-on and you will learn the technologies while solving
the technology focused lab scenarios. This training helps you understand
the technologies one by one and makes you ready for the next 3 weeks of
training where you will learn to implement all of these technologies in
multi-protocol full-day labs.
The second week focuses on BGP, QoS & MPLS training.
This is based on our assessment from previous training batches that the
BGP & QoS area are the ones where the participants need to be taught
the concepts in depth. MPLS is also covered now since it the upcoming
cer 4.0 will test you on this topic as well.
Remaining 2 weeks comprise of guided full-day multi-protocol lab
scenarios.
These are complicated scenarios, each covering the concepts and Cisco's
publicly declared objectives of the lab exam. The lab topology as well
as the scenario structures are similar to what you can expect to find
in the lab exam and modeled based on the new Cisco exams which feature
4 layer 3 Catalyst switches in every POD.
This training is FAR more than a bootcamp. The training has been constantly
evolving from the time we started it.
We believe we have put together a brilliant training program which is
possibly one of its kinds in the world.
You cannot but underestimate how much you will learn in through
our nearly 100% hands-on approach & under constant guidance from our
CCIE trainer who is a specialist in this field. The combination of this
thoughtfully created program & the trainer's commitment towards every
participant and passion for imparting knowledge has translated into such
a high pass rate amongst participants.
The course is formally a 10am -6pm training (Mon-Fri) but participants
should be prepared for spending as many as 12 hours a day in the labs
from Mon-Fri with optional self practice on Saturday. At every step, the
course exposes each participant's strengths and weaknesses & and based
on this, they are encouraged to do their reading atleast for a couple
of hours everyday on weekdays and as much as they can on weekends.
Each participant will have a dedicated pods for the entire duration
weeks of the course.
Discounted pricing is possible for participants who are ready to share
a POD during the training (Max 2 students per POD).
Information about false propoganda against
IPsolutions:
We have recently come across false propoganda by our competitors. If you
have been given some negative information about us, we suggest you cross
check with us. Several of our past CCIEs are more than willing to share
their experiences and offer advice. We would be happy to provide references
if you need!
Congratulations
to the CCIEs who have been trained & mentored by us. Your name can
be here too!

Testimonials
"I went to IPsolutions without any lab experience at all.
All of my experience was based on book studies and practical knowleged
of live networks. IPsolutions helped me learn how to study with actual
equipment and well written LAB Materials. The instructor was well versed
in the mock labs and was always able to answer my questions quickly
and correctly. Without IPsolutions I would not have made my goal of
getting the CCIE quickly."
Ryan McKinney
CCIE# 17074
"Going to IPsolutions was one of the best career decisions
that I have made to date, as I was able to attain my R&S cert on
the first attempt. Studying at IPsolutions was demanding and required
a lot of discipline, if you'll willing to put-in 10-12 hours a day hard
work then it's worth it . I would definitely recommend IPsolutions to
get your CCIE R&S or SP certifications."

Policy Change to Payment for CCIE Labs
New & Important!
In effort to improve the availability of CCIE lab exams
Cisco has updated the CCIE lab payment process. On September 6, 2008
the payment policy for CCIE labs will be as follows:
Payment in full is due 90 days (calendar) prior to your lab date. Payment
must be received to confirm your date. After 90 days refunds will not
be available for cancelled lab dates. The change in this policy will
allow for lab seats to be open in a timely manner and create more desirable
time frames.
22 August 2008
CCIE labs changing from UniversCD to Cisco Documentation. On Sept 24
2008 CCIE labs will no longer support using the UniversCD documentation
for the lab exam. All labs are migrating to Cisco Documentation only.
For those scheduled to take the CCIE lab prior to Sept 24 access will
still be available for UniversCD.
The Cisco Documentation pages have the same information that currently
resides on UniversCD, please refer to the links on the CCIE web pages
to view these pages and become familiar with the new format. After Sept
24 2008 only the Cisco Documentation web pages will be available for
CCIE labs.
