Today I officially start my CCIE R&S journey.

I decided to follow the Cisco track from CCNA to CCNP and then attempt the CCIE exam, written and lab.

After spending a lot of time researching for the best study material I decided to purchase the IPExpert’s Blended Learning Solution. I’m paying for it out of my pocket, a big investment tha I hope will be worthwhile for my professional career.

The BLS includes and hard drive with all the videos, workbook and other study material. Updates will arrive either online of in DVDs shipped by IPExpert.

The main reason I chose an offline version of the study material is my slow and unreliable Internet connection at home, a 3G USB key.


NOTE: IPExpert ran out of business eventually. Their material was a great support at the time for my studies so I think it was a good investiment overall.

I switched to INE to finalize my preparation for the CCIE lab.

What happened next is history.
