Testimonials:

Kamran Habib CCIE# 48540 (R&S), Cisco Systems, Inc., Melbourne, Australia

“CyscoExpert is a truly unique training institute. In fact, it’s not a training institute but a true partnership. A partnership in which highly qualified instructors (triple CCIEs) impart, guide,test and explain concepts in a truly unique one-on-one format and you, as a student, absorb those concepts and do your part by working hard in a focused manner to achieve optimum results. I have never been able to understand the concepts and intricacies of technologies such as NAT, Multicast, MPLS, MP-BGP and IPv6 until Naren explained me these concepts in his truly unique style. Now they’re ingrained in me for life. Cyscoexpert instructors are not just your guides and mentors but your true friends. They’ll ensure and won’t give up until you succeed and they make your success their own personal goal. I’ll definitely be coming back to them for future training for Security and Service Provider, just to understand the concepts even if I don’t intend to pursue a CCIE in those tracks. Thank you CyscoExpert for helping me achieve my CCIE!”

Chintu Joseph, CCIE #47247 (R&S)

"First of all let me thank CyscoExpert, and especially Naren Mehta, for being the force behind my successful CCIE journey. CyscoExpert offers something very unique; one-on-one training.
The absence of any pre-defined list of topics to cover is a huge advantage in terms of your final preparations for CCIE. You want to dedicate more time and energy on your weak topics and that's where CyscoExpert and Naren come into play. After the training those topics become your strength since Naren has this unique ability to break down any complex topic and help you understand it better with excellent explanations that will give you a deep understanding on the why and how of the technology. Even after the training was over Naren reached out to me to provide an opportunity to practice more of their labs (which I should say are much more challenging than the topology you might face for the real exam) and offered help and support anytime I needed help before I took the exam. Once again thanks to CyscoExpert and Naren. I am sure I will be back for more. Thanks.”

Thomas McKinnon, CCIE #43720

"Thank you so much. CyscoExpert is THE boot camp to attend if you are going for your CCIE. Their individualized, hands-on approach is second to none. I did not spend my time going over material I already knew, my time was spent going over my trouble spots. Labs are challenging so you are prepared when going for your lab exam. You are not just another random student here. CyscoExpert instructors went above and beyond their call of duty to help me and were willing to answer any questions or concerns I had even after completing my training. THANK YOU."

Gaurav Vasudeva CCIE#42760

"The labs and training session were really fruitful. It really helped me to fine tune my networking knowledge at Cyscoexpert. The whole environment is simulated like an exam room. Not only the training helps you with the exam, but it also helps you to solve issues on production environment. Thanks to Naren Mehta and Bahram Chaboki."

Brian Pereira CCIE #25792 (R&S, SP and Security)

"Triple Crown" - Thanks to the all the hard work and doubled efforts of Naren Mehta and Bahram Chaboki at CyscoExpert, I passed my CCIE R&S Lab exam on June 22nd, 2013. This is the only institution in the world that can help individuals attain a triple CCIE status. Their mentoring program brings out the best in every individual that attends their training program. The support continues long after one leaves their establishment in lieu of genuine feedback and never ending guidance to help one maintain the course. The curriculum covered in their lab workbooks are by far the best and are designed with intent to help understand each technology at a very deep conceptual level. As I write this testimonial, I feel humbled and fortunate to be where I am today. I hope my story inspires other aspiring candidates to reach out to CyscoExpert so they can mentor them into becoming the next success story.

Andy Sajous CCIE#37051

I just received my score report within that past hour.  I passed!!  I would not have done it without both you guys.  I will never forget the time I spent at CyscoExperts, it really clarified things in my head.  For the past two years I'd been reading various documentation and watching vender videos.  But it was honestly refreshing, to sit down with you guys and have you teach me exactly how things work.  I really, truly felt prepared walking into the exam.  It was the first time I felt in control during the Troubleshooting section. As for the test itself, in the Troubleshooting section I solved all 10 tickets. I had about 10 mins left in Troubleshooting. I felt very confident going into configuration, and by lunch time I was feeling really good.  I completed each task the best way I knew how, and I had about 45 mins to review.  Thank you guys so much. 

Rami Sarna CCIE #16712 (R&S, SP and Security)

The "exam day" is ONLY about the "logical mindset" and nothing else. Its is too late to prepare any technologies and again too late to worry about the "what if's" !! To put it in simple terms, you pass the exam if you hold onto your nerves on "the day" of the exam. As Bahram rightly said to me - "Rami you are like a consultant on "the day" ... Cisco will present a situation to judge whether you are in control of your nerves or the nerves are in control off you. So would you hire a consultant who is biting away his nails when presented with a problem ? or one who knows where to look and how to logically interpret whats asked ? ..... "Since everyone have their own story and their CCIE journey has had its own unique hardships; it only makes sense to undertake training which works on the individual areas of concern ..... This is where CyscoExpert come in....There is no technical training like Cysco Expert  ......  Naren and Bahram work to help develop the mind-set that a CCIE should have, not just for the day of the exam, but for every day of life as a CCIE. The training is for the mind and not just for 6 CLI commands to accomplish a technical task here-n-there .... The confidence boost, and the results humbly speak for themselves. Completing the CCIE journey with Cyscoexpert made it a worthwhile experience and i carry the confidence with me every day !! Naren, Bahram, it is all because of your faith and support that i say these words...and in my heart i will always be grateful to you ... there are not enough words to sum up my feelings when i think about you as my mentors! ”

Brian Pereira CCIE #25792 (SP and Security)

Thanks again to Mr. Mehta's hard-work and sacrifices, I was able to pass my CCIE Security lab exam on June 9th, 2012. Cyscoexpert's approach in customizing an individual's learning abilities based on their unique strengths and helping overcome limitations makes this entire process so extraordinary. During my journey, Mr. Mehta not only prepared me well for the exam but also provided much needed moral support to reach my final destination. Cyscoexpert is the only training facility in the world where they can take the roughest rock and polish it into a shining gemstone. They have a great mentor-protege relationship. Please accept my sincere gratitude in helping me reach another major milestone in my professional career.  The choices we make often dictate the lives we lead - I am glad I made mine to train with the best.

Eugene Silas CCIE# 35095

I want to thanks CyscoExpert, specifically Naren Mehta, for guiding me on my path to becoming CCIE Security. Naren is a true master of the entire body of knowledge required to be successful in the exam. I couldn't imagine there is a more technically informed person anywhere in the world with the ability to clearly and so precisely explain the WHY and HOW behind every topic.  I’ve had much training throughout my career and the CyscoExpert experience was the best. The fact that the experience is delivered in 1 on 1 format, the benefit is increased exponentially.  Naren also understand the personality and attitude required to become a CCIE.  As he’s helping you become technically sharp, he also works on the emotional and psychological aspects of the exam.  I felt comfortable from the ride to the airport all the way through closing the exam book with a little time to spare. I knew the results immediately and only waited on Cisco to validate. The first person I called to thank was my wife followed by Naren Mehta.  My time at CyscoExpert confirms a phrase I’ve tried to embody throughout my career.  “Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction and skillful execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives. Naren and CyscoExpert are first class and truly represent the wisest of choices for CCIE prep. I recommend them to anyone who has a real desire to be a CCIE, and to be what a CCIE truly should represents. I will continue using them for all my Cisco studies. Thanks CyscoExpert for making me a better quality engineer and person.  See you soon for the next journey.

Ronaldo Nascimento, CCIE # 32110

After completing my customized, one-on-one, CCIE R&S Lab training at CyscoExpert, I nailed all 10 questions in troubleshooting and passed my lab exam. In addition to providing customized training, CyscoExpert provides technical help, motivation, encouragement, and continuous enforcement that you are not alone way beyond any other ordinary training company. And you cannot afford to pay to any other company to receive the kind of training and service you receive from CyscoExpert as its standard practice. CyscoExpert’s triple CCIE instructors are masters on any technical subject and real mentors. I have taken training from the other CCIE training providers; however, CyscoExpert’s training is by far the most productive, custom tailored, and extremely cost effective than any other training I have taken.

Sapan Shroff, CCIE # 30910

I heard about CyscoExpert through one of CyscoExpert’s previous students and I am so glad that I attended CyscoExpert’s one-on-one, customized training for CCIE R&S. One of the main reasons why Cyscoexpert is so critical in the CCIE preparations is that the CyscoExpert’s instructors have this great ability to quickly sense your weaknesses and explain those topics in a simple language. One of my biggest struggles was with MPLS troubleshooting and at CyscoExpert I was explained the details of MPLS technology which I didn't find in any books or articles and also helped me understand what to expect at what point and how to verify it. CyscoExpert helped me develop an approach towards any kind of troubleshooting which allowed me to solve all the troubleshooting tickets and also verify them with 10 minutes still remaining during the lab exam. In addition to learning complex technologies at CyscoExpert, you will find that the approach of CyscoExpert is very professional and accommodating. All you have to do is hold their hand throughout your CCIE preparation and they will take you to your destination. I highly recommend Cyscoexpert's one-on-one, customized training to all the CCIE candidates.

Sung Chang, CCIE # 29937

Just wanted to say thank you to CyscoExpert in getting me through the last mile to finally achieve CCIE status.  CyscoExpert's one on one training helped me to focus in on the gaps in my knowledge base.  Even though I thought I knew specific technologies, I soon found that I really did not understand the true details. CyscoExpert's step by step approach in explaining topics really helped solidify my understanding.  That and the comprehensive labs they put me through really helped me fine tune my preparation.  Thank you CyscoExpert for getting me through this truly tough exam.

Dan Pedonesi, CCIE #29911

I passed my CCIE Routing and Switching Lab exam with instruction of CyscoExpert.  With CyscoExpert you get more than an instructor led course, you get one-on-one instruction with a triple CCIE.  You get customized labs and someone that will break down a subject in terms that you will digest and always understand moving forward.  Aside from the customized labs, lessons, and mentoring, there is a personal element that makes you and them successful.  There is a genuine care for each of their students. They have a unique ability to motivate.  They pick you up when you have doubts and push you to your limits while you are riding high.  This school can polish you prior to an attempt of the lab, or it can take you from zero to CCIE. I am so grateful to CyscoExpert.  They have a customer and a friend for life in me.

Joe Shen, CCIE# 29737

I really have to thank CyscoExpert for all of their support and help! CyscoExpert's personal training was instrumental in not only passing the exam, but really having a true and deeper understanding to all the concepts. I have been to other training bootcamps and have never had anywhere close to the same experience. After leaving Cysco Expert, I truly had a different overall approach and will be able to retain all the knowledge that I gained for the rest of my life. In the end, going thru your curriculum and working on your custom lab material (together 1 on 1 with you), which had a much higher difficulty level than the actual exam, provided the environment necessary to learn such high amounts of material in a short amount of time and at a truly deeper level of understanding. When it came to taking the actual exam, it was truly a breeze. Having your personal 1 on 1 training on this type of subject at this level was absolutely key! I cannot thank you enough!

Charles Mazarura, CCIE # 28685

Thank you CyscoExpert for helping me pass my CCIE R&S exam. The one-on-one time was most beneficial as we were able to focus in on my weaker technologies areas and turn them into strengths. The review of the other IE technologies also helped me reinforce what I already knew when you taught me a different approach on how to interpret, understand, and come up with the best solution. Your advice on how to best utilize my study time and also philosophy on life itself was invaluable and I will be forever grateful. Thanks again.

Hellen Matereke CCIE # 28684

I passed my CCIE Routing and Switching Lab Exam after attending the CyscoExpert  Bootcamp. I am truly grateful for my one on one time with CyscoExpert's instructors who are truly a genius when it comes to training for the CCIE. Their MPLS training session is next to none . I learned how to look at technology in a completely different way from the traditional way I was used to. This allowed me to determine my weakness, my strengths, learn how to interpret questions and develop the skills necessary to be successful. I am forever grateful for the training, the encouraging talk after my unsuccessful attempt. I look forward to more training in the future. Thank you.

Kazmira Pedonesi CCIE #28573

I started my CCIE SP Lab training with CyscoExpert not even knowing what an IP or MAC address was. For that reason, I am so grateful for the one-on-one training that CyscoExpert provided to me during my pursuit to achieve the CCIE. CyscoExpert not only possesses the unique ability to relate to different learning styles in a way that anyone could understand networking, but they also possess so much energy, excitement and passion about what they teach that it empowers you to be equally motivated to learn the material. I was also continually impressed with the thoroughness and thoughtfulness of Naren and Bahram’s character. Achieving the CCIE requires a high level of dedication and personal commitment, and CyscoExpert is fully aware of how challenging that can be. They were unbelievably supportive throughout my journey. Their astute mind and attention to detail makes them the best training providers.

André Laurent CCIE #21840 (R&S, Service Provider, Security)

Just cleared the CCIE Security lab and reached Triple CCIE status. Nothing compares to the one-on-one training that is being offered at Cyscoexpert. Amazing instruction combined with mind blowing customized lab scenarios. Naren and Bahram take the time to understand an individual’s strengths and weaknesses as it relates to the technologies. Perhaps even more important is that they take the time to understand how an individual’s personality type and circumstances might affect learning and success. Cyscoexpert offers customized mentoring at its best. I have found no better approach for helping me to truly understand the complex technologies involved with each track and to avoid just building mechanical skills. If there is one thing that has stuck with me after going through the process of preparing for and completing three CCIEs, it is that there is a difference between the quantity of time behind a rack vs. the quality of time behind a rack. I choose to use myenergy wisely. Thank you, Cyscoexpert. I wouldn’t be where I am in my life without you.

B. Zeynep Savas CCIE#28289

“CyscoExpert was an essential training step in my CCIE R&S journey. When I heard about CyscoExpert, I already gone through some training material, and CyscoExpert identified my weak spots. One of my biggest gaps in my networking knowledge was MPLS, and CyscoExpert put this complex subject in its most simplest form and made it very easy to understand. Then CyscoExpert helped me strengthen this knowledge with some specific labs on the subject. CyscoExpert's instructors are genius. They can bring down the most complicated subjects to their simplest forms, and help us ordinary folks understand them! When I start on my next track of CCIE journey, I will be coming to CyscoExpert first! Thank you very much for all your help!
Thank you!


Francisco Solano CCIE #28259

Many vendors can claim to deliver the "best" CCIE training in the market.. but none offer customized one-on-one training like Naren and Bahram. I want to say the single most compelling factor that gives these guys their name is the passion and energy they display while teaching these technologies.. Their ability to grasp their students attention and fully engage them into a topic and completeness of understanding is what makes them an invaluable resource during CCIE studies.  Although I felt well prepared for my exam before I went to CyscoExpert, they proved to be experts in shinning light on my weaknesses and exhausting the possibilities in different scenarios so I would never experience the same misunderstanding again! Naren is friend who has demonstrated a genuine interest in my success and taken the time to provide mentoring outside class... If your looking to gain a 3-dimensional understanding of these technologies along the side of a team that is passionate about their work and students success, this is the place!!

Kevin Kuhls CCIE# 27908

There is no workbook, boot camp or video that can prepare you for the CCIE like CyscoExperts.  Naren and Bharam will assess your knowledge and then create a unique lab exam for you building up your weaknesses and challenging your strengths.  Yes, CyscoExperts is more expensive than most boot camps, but you get what you pay for.  It's the express lane of studying.  With individual interaction, they were able to fill more of my knowledge gaps and strengthen more of my weaknesses quickly and precisely.  Who knows how many more hours I would have had to study and how many more lab attempts I would have needed.  My only regret regarding CyscoExperts is I wish I went for 2 weeks instead of 1.  Thanks so much Naren and Bharam. I learned so much and had a great time doing it.  I hope to learn from you again in the future. Thanks again.

Pranesh Suckhoo CCIE #27869

I would like to thank Naren and Bharam for their intuitive and personalized training that provided me with the necessary boost that I required to pass my CCIE. It was a journey that required many sacrifices, but at the end of the day the feeling of achieving this industry leading certification was worth it. I am now CCIE#27869 and proud of it.

Josh Fedor CCIE #27621

I'd like to thank you and your company for all the personal help you gave me in my path to the CCIE.  The personal 1 on 1 attention is like no training I have ever been to, thank you.

Scott Schilling CCIE #27244

Thanks to Naren and Bahram of CyscoExpert for showing exactly what I did not know and helping me in a positive manner realize where my skills were lacking and to help me maximize the effectiveness of my study time. The personal training I received was essential to successfully earning my CCIE. The CyscoExpert program provides the details of the technologies that the documentation and other training programs leave out. The one on one training philosophy went above and beyond of anything I ever experienced. Also I am very thankful for making themselves available outside the classroom during difficult times of self study where things were not coming together and the motivation they provided to finish the journey. Thanks once again!

Albert Ignacio, CCIE #26833

I've known Naren and Bahram for several years now.  I've taken the older CCNP and CCIE Written classes with them when it was still offered.  They're obviously very knowledgeable but also a great bunch of guys.  They've helped me throughout my journey to become a better network engineer. Initially, I started on the R&S track v3.0 but after the R&S blueprint change to v4.0, my thirst for my number prompted me to give the Service Provider Lab exam a try because of the tracks maturity.  I know that without them I clearly would have fell short by using only workbooks and self studying for only several hours a week.  Their unique one-on-one approach is dedicated, dynamic, custom-tailored and really, really accelerates the learning process.  I can't stress this enough.  Their training style is extraordinary experience in that you have a CCIE tutor next-to-you while working on one of their complex labs.  Again I definitely learned tons.  It would have taken me so much longer if I had to perform research on any misconceptions or to find clarity on any of these advanced topics.  Using GroupStudy, forums, Google or Cisco's website can be cumbersome when trying to find out more.  I highly recommend this customized one-on-one approach as you'll find this experience unlike any other.  Thanks to Cyscoexpert, I'm now a CCIE.  It's an unbelievable feeling. Thanks Naren and Bahram for being so passionate in your goal to make me a CCIE!!

Joel Andersen CCIE #26300

I wanted to especially thank CyscoExpert for teaching me so many of the skills and technologies that were prerequisites to passing the CCIE Security lab.  I am amazed by  the technical expertise and understanding of triple CCIE instructors at CyscoExpert, and even more that they were able to communicate and teach such complex things so effectively.  I am very grateful for the knowledge, encouragement, and resulting confidence that you instilled in me throughout the training sessions.

Brian Pereira CCIE #25792

CyscoExpert's customized one-on-one training helped me prepare and pass the CCIE Service Provider Lab Exam on Dec 16, 2009. Their labs were challenging and geared towards my abilities. Naren and Bahram worked with me at the grass root level to ensure I understood the core concepts and helped sharpen my skills. Their support continued even after the training was over. I find Naren and Bahram to be truly dedicated in bringing the best out in an individual. Although they prepared me well for the CCIE Lab Exam, when I was done I had become a better engineer - both knowledge and confident. I am glad to have built an everlasting relationship and look forward to pursuing other certifications under their guidance. I don't see Cyscoexpert as an ordinary training facility, but rather a ministry - with two dedicated triple CCIE's to guide and mentor individuals in becoming successful professionals.

James R. Yeo CCIE #11676 (R&S, Security, Service Provider)

A special thanks to Naren Metha & Bahram Chaboki for helping me achieve my CCIE Service Provider certification. I passed on the 10th November 2009 in RTP. The training I received was and is still relevant to my work as well as the CCIE Blueprint. Their insight and attention to detail on any subject matter within or beyond the scope of the Blueprint to Service Provider was phenomenal. Not only did I gained new skills but gained a friendship that will last! Even after my training I received help for all of my queries, configs and debugs etc. Thanks guys!!

Anthony Kwan CCIE #15230 (R&S, Security, Service Provider)

After completing my CCIE R&S training at CyscoExpert and passing my lab exam, I went back to CyscoExpert for my second CCIE certification in Security. It was exclusively CyscoExpert’s customized, one-on-one training that helped me pass my CCIE Security Lab exam on my first attempt! The depth of knowledge and expertise CyscoExpert demonstrated are unprecedented. I recommend CyscoExpert for any CCIE training. After passing my CCIE Security Lab exam I went back to CyscoExpert for my third CCIE certification for the Service Provider track. Again, after completing my customized, one-on-one, training at CyscoExpert I passed my CCIE SP Lab exam.
Soon I will start my customized, one-on-one, training at CyscoExpert for the CCIE Voice track and become a quadruple CCIE!!


David Hunter CCIE #25481

I learned so much from CyscoExpert. Their labs were also brutal. You taught me so much. Besides the technologies, I learned from them the value of configuring accurately, verifying everything, reading slowly to catch all of the details, and that passing the test depends on understanding, not typing speed.

Michael Griego CCIE #25306

I passed my CCIE Routing and Switching Lab Exam on my first attempt.  Bahram Chaboki and Naren Mehta are truly experts  when it comes to training for the CCIE.  Many providers offer CCIE Training but when you attend CyscoExpert you truly learn and understand the technologies and automatically become CCIE.  The customized one-on-one training truly makes a difference and allows you to move at just the right pace for your level of knowledge.  It has been a great journey and I have enjoyed every minute of my time with both Bahram and Naren.  I look forward to returning for the Service Provider training next year and know that I will be in good hands.

André Laurent CCIE #21840 (R&S, Service Provider)

After several weeks of training at Cyscoexpert, I already felt like a Dual CCIE. I am sure this is because my knowledge of the blue print topics was growing and I began feeling like one with the technologies. There is no where in the world that offers the level and the depth of training like that which is being offered at Cyscoexpert. I have had a lot of fun learning the Service Provider Track with Naren and Bahram. I have built so many beautiful memories at Cyscoexpert. The experience of learning from these two mentors has been one of the most cherished experiences of my life. Thank you so much for your openness, willingness, dedication and commitment. Thank you once again for making me into a better engineer and helping me to achieve the goal of Dual CCIE certification. The Cyscoexpert one-on-one training/mentoring style is the best approach for learning and I will definitely be coming back again for my third CCIE in Security.

Adrian Mornaila CCIE #16030 (R&S, Service Provider)

Thank you!!! On August 14th 2009 I passed the Service Provider CCIE on my first attempt. This is the second CCIE that I got.Thanks to the comprehensive one-on-one customized training received at Cyscoexpert. Even after countless hours of study and practice on Dynamips, I still didn't have a complete understanding of all the fine details involved in building and troubleshooting a complex MPLS network. The in depth guidance received at CyscoExpert that included personalized lectures in some of the most intricate conceptual details and unparalleled mentoring made everything crystal clear. The amount of knowledge I absorbed at CyscoExpert in just a short period of time outweighs hundreds and hundreds of hours of studying in any other type of training.

Nicholas Mathe CCIE # 24577

I passed my CCIE R&S lab exam. I am CCIE # 24577. Thank you very much for your help. I wouldn’t have made it without the help of CyscoExpert. I’ll be shortly pursuing my CCIE SP and I

Eugene Han CCIE #10890 (R&S, Security, Service Provider)

Hey Guys I Passed my CCIE Service Provider Exam!! I just got my results. I'm still in RTP. Man!!!! Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for all your help. I had a really good time training with you guys. I'm going to sit on the beach now for three weeks.

Michael Locke CCIE 8133 (R&S, Security)

CyscoExpert’s CCIE lab preparation program is obviously excellent ... just read the many post below.  I was able to take several months off from work prior to passing my R&S lab in 2001.  This allowed me to prepare as though the CCIE lab was my full time job.  Like most people, I now have a very demanding job and a family that require a large amount of time and dedication.  Without the focused attention I received at CyscoExpert, it's hard to image how I could have found the time to gain the amount of information they were able to teach me in a week.  Thanks for everything guys and see you when I am ready for my next one!

Newa Hendrick Lebambo CCIE # 24106

I passed my CCIE lab on the 14th of April 2009. You are going to see me again there for my second CCIE. Thanks for all the info you pumped in my head.

Alexis Rodriguez, CCIE #24074

I remember what you did for me ,...  Thank you again, you changed my life.  THANK YOU !!!!!    I cannot express my thank you, enough,  both of U !

Thomas Young, CCIE #13484 (R&S, Security, Service Provider)

Naren and Bahram provide much better training than the standard classroom format.  As soon as I arrived, I jumped into a practice lab.  Through this lab they were able to identify my strengths and weaknesses.  I did not have to sit through lectures on material that I already knew.  I had done a lot of self study before I arrived, and I was ready to tackle the hard questions.  I worked on labs all week.  They both were available at any time to discuss technologies, clarify lab questions, and whiteboard
scenarios.  They both are able to explain the technologies well, and they offer time saving tricks that are useful in the lab.  The training was so good for my Security CCIE that I came back for the SP!

Andrew Brant, CCIE #14715 (R&S, Security, Service Provider)

CyscoExpert’s created another quality training program for CCIE Service Provider track candidates. Enormous personal dedication, persistency and attention to details is what truly sets CXP instructors apart. Naren and Bahram pay very close attention to the verification process, you will often find the lab requirements and constraints change on the fly. At the end of the training I was able to work through the labs and spot many issues before I even ran into them. The actual lab was very challenging, but I was able to slow down, carefully analyze the requirements, formulate the potential solutions, ask proctor lots of questions and ultimately pass on the first attempt. If
you value your time and need to get the job done, then I suggest you get to CyscoExperts pronto.

Anthony Kwan, CCIE #15230 (R&S, Security)

After completing my CCIE R&S training at CyscoExpert and passing my lab exam, I went back to CyscoExpert for my second CCIE certification in Security. It was exclusively CyscoExpert’s customized, one-on-one training that helped me pass my CCIE Security Lab exam on my first attempt! The depth of knowledge and expertise CyscoExpert demonstrated are unprecedented. I recommend CyscoExpert for any CCIE training. Soon I will start my customized, one-on-one, training at CyscoExpert for the Service Provider track and become a triple CCIE!!

Bal Belen, CCIE #12648 (R&S, Security)

For me its been proven again and second time around for my CCIE Security... your CCIE lab simulation training in my opinion is the "BEST VALUE FOR YOUR BUCK" CCIE Lab training available on the market today. The "unique, personalized, and customized one-on-one" training that you provide not only helped me pass the lab exam but also helped me get a deeper understanding of each technology included in the lab. This in turn will help me in my future projects. I couldn't have done it without your help.What else can I say?... except that "I will be seeing you again for my third Cisco certification quest". Many thanks.

Fred Greco, CCIE #22861

I really give credit to CyscoExpert’s customized, one-on-one, CCIE Lab training program for helping me pass the CCIE R&S Lab exam. The ability of triple CCIE instructors Bahram Chaboki and Naren Mehta for understanding my weaknesses, helping me interpret difficult questions, and helping me develop incredible skill of how to approach the CCIE Lab exam were exceptionally more valuable than any reading/practicing I could have done on my own. Thanks for all your help and guidance
on my road to becoming a CCIE.

André Laurent, CCIE #21840

I passed the R&S CCIE lab exam on August 22nd. Although this was a defining moment in my life, the time I spent training at CyscoExpert is what has provided me with the most memorable experience of all. There are a very few experiences that I would consider to be highlights in my life. My time working with Bahram and Naren was one of these highlights. I have developed memories and friendships that will live on with me forever. My journey to find the right mentor has ended and I have been fortunate enough to find two. Before going to CyscoExpert I had been to a few of the more well known CCIE boot camp programs. These programs left me with nothing more than mere mechanical skills. I failed on my first lab attempt after attending these camps. I felt lost and far away from my goal after this experience. The CyscoExpert’s one-on-one and sometimes two-on-one customized instructions from Naren & Bahram is what helped me to truly understand the technology so as to pass the lab exam. Before going to CyscoExpert, I was lacking the understanding, strategy and confidence needed to pass the CCIE lab exam. The jam packed customized labs offered by Naren and Bahram were much more difficult than the actual lab exam. Every time I got stuck on a particular problem Bahram and/or Naren were right there to provide me with a one-on-one lecture helping me to better understand the technology and to eliminate any weaknesses surrounding the topic. Thank
you for making me a better engineer. Thank you for your commitment, dedication and guidance. I look forward to continuing to work with you to pass the Service Provider track before the end of the year.

James Rearden, CCIE #21452

CyscoExpert's customized, one-on-one, CCIE lab training program is the best in the industry. Bahram and Naren's teaching techniques easily break down each area into a complete understanding of the technologies and preparing you for the challenges and rigors of the CCIE R&S lab exam. "Whatever it takes" was drilled into my head by these two and as a result, today I am CCIE #21452. I will be returning to CyscoExpert when I prepare for my CCIE Security Lab exam. Bahram and Naren, thank
you for helping me pass my CCIE R&S Lab exam.

Khaled Mohamed, CCIE #20676

CyscoExpert’s technical custom CCIE program training is a great tool that helped me achieve my goal of passing the CCIE exam on my first attempt. Your teaching team has a lot of technical expertise. Their ability to address specific needs assisted me to understand my deficiencies and provided me with unique tools for success based on my needs. Your ability to customize a special program based on an individual's technical needs far exceeds any traditional class room training where "one size fits all". Many thanks for assisting me in enhancing my technical skills and passing the CCIE Exam. My special thanks to Naren Mehta and Bahram Chaboki.

Travis Bailey, CCIE #20521

CyscoExpert provides the best high level Cisco training available. Whether you are looking for Cisco CCIE certification training or just need advanced Cisco training you can not go wrong with CyscoExpert. CyscoExpert provides a unique learning model. They challenge students using two powerful learning tools. First, CyscoExpert provides customized training material for each student. They help evaluate your strengths and weaknesses to focus on what you really need to learn and not what you already know. Second, they provide one-on-one training. Having your own dedicated instructor has many advantages. The instructor can review your progress and provide immediate feedback. One-on-one instruction also allows for informal lectures as needed to really understand a technology. Naren and Bahram, two of the instructors at CyscoExpert, are two of the best instructors I have ever had the opportunity to work with. They not only understand the technologies they are teaching, they understand what it takes to be a good instructor. Thank you CyscoExpert for helping me pass my CCIE Security Lab Exam.

Greg Wendel, CCIE #20179

Naren and Bahram at CyscoExpert were awesome. I have attended training and classes at many different places both at the vendor and university level and I have never been more impressed than I was with CyscoExpert training. The one-on-one training was the best way to learn the material at the expert level needed by the CCIE. During my training there were two students and two instructors so it truly was one-on-one training. Naren and Bahram must have eyes in the back of their head because
whenever I struggled with a topic they were right there to drill down into the topic to help me understand it. Their labs are impossible and even when you think you have it 100% correct they show you that you missed something and need to dig deeper. I would recommend CyscoExpert to anyone who is serious about passing this exam and I will be returning to CXP for CCIE Service Provider training as soon as I can. Thank you very much Naren and Bahram for your great help. I couldn't have done this without you guys! I look forward to driving out to Chicago again soon.

Gobind Singh Gill, CCIE #19910

Whatever it takes! Due to these three words which Naren & Bahram engraved in my head, I finally managed to pass my CCIE R&S Lab exam. I am proud to be one of the youngest CCIEs by passing at the age of 20. CyscoExpert’s three weeks of customized training was just awesome! Unlike training that other vendors provide, Cyscoexpert provides one-to-one training. This training turned out to be the key element for my success. Bahram was able to communicate the topics in a very
professional and personal manner that made learning the CCIE topics fun. I was also grateful to have had two extremely talented Double CCIE instructors for the boot camp. Their in-depth training and instruction really helped me grasp a greater level of understanding on several items that were not completely clear to me. Bahram & Naren are simply outstanding in their ability to drill down the numerous technologies a CCIE candidate will encounter to create a solid foundation. The boot camp
provided the essential skills I needed for passing my CCIE Lab exam, broadening my knowledge and most importantly boosted my confidence before I went for my lab exam. Thanks Bahram for spending hours of time sitting with me and explaining me things and especially for helping me in developing Lab Strategy which really helped me tackle the Lab. Thanks to Naren also for the effort in helping me work through arrangements to attend the boot camp. I definitely look forward to take CyscoExpert’s boot camp for the CCIE Service Provider certification. Hats off to both the instructors for providing world class training!

Deron James, CCIE #19503

CyscoExpert provided excellent training for my pursuit of passing the CCIE R&S Lab exam. Without CyscoExpert’s customized, one-on-one, training my chances of ever passing the CCIE Lab exam would have been very slim. Naren Mehta and Bahram Chaboki provided a customized training to change my weaknesses into strengths. They help you to master the technical skills but even more importantly they also help you develop a strategy for passing the CCIE Lab exam. CyscoExpert’s one-on-one approach helped me develop technical knowledge as well as my troubleshooting skills which not only helped me pass my CCIE lab exam but has also helped me with
my current job. Thanks Guys.

Monty D. Hamburger, CCIE #19457

I had the most wonderful and beneficial experience while I was at the CyscoExpert’s facility in Arlington Heights, IL taking my CCIE Security Lab training. The one-on-one training was absolutely the kick I needed in my studies to reach my goal of passing the CCIE Security Lab exam. I now not only know what commands to use but why, when and where and how all of the technologies flow together. The environment at CyscoExpert is great and if you were previously getting a lull in your studies you will come out rejuvenated and completely re-inspired. Thank you!

Chris Pitera, CCIE #19219

Without the support and inspiration I received from CyscoExpert’s double CCIE instructors, Bahram Chaboki and Naren Mehta, I would not have passed the CCIE R&S lab exam. I was ready to give up twice but CyscoExpert kept me motivated and pushed me to keep trying. Bahram and Naren always had time to talk to me and explain various topics. They are not only my instructors but also good friends. The customized, one-on-one, training method designed by CyscoExpert for CCIE Lab students is unique and very effective, simply the best in the field. One-on-one coaching technique and constant personal attention creates excellent learning environment. I would recommend CyscoExpert to anyone who wants to pass the CCIE Lab exam. I will be coming back myself next year for the security lab preparation. Thank you for your patience, encouragement and wish you well.

Michael Atkinson, CCIE #19153

CyscoExpert identified my weaknesses almost immediately, and the instructor worked with me closely to turn them into strengths. The instructor went beyond the technology and worked with me on strategies for passing the Security lab. The money and time could not have been better spent.

Peter Campbell, CCIE #18680

I finally received my CCIE R&S number this past Friday and I just wanted to thank CyscoExpert and their staff for helping me achieve this goal. CyscoExpert’s customized, one-on-one, CCIE training gives you the knowledge and confidence to aproach the lab in a structured manner that leaves you buzzing. Without their help and support, it would have taken me a lot longer to pass this lab. I have only the highest praises for them. I highly recommend CyscoExpert training to anyone who is seriously studying toward achieving their CCIE in Routing & Switching.

Matt Thomma, CCIE #18548

I would like to give my greatest thanks to the partners at CyscoExpert for pushing me to reach my goal of CCIE Routing & Switching. Their labs are extremely challenging and on the mark to make you learn the technologies needed to succeed in the lab. Their one on one coaching approach and positive reinforcement is what kept me going in the right direction. Their attention to detail and personalized lab approach is 2nd to none. Its hard to put into words the joy of reaching this goal!!! Thanks again.

Senan Sheedy, CCIE #18547

Your training metodology and delivery ("CyscoExpert’s customized, one-on-one") is un-matched. I have trained in a variety of technical disciplines (Certified Novell Engineer 4 and 5, SCO UNIX System Administrator, Microsoft Certified Sytems Engineer 4) over the last fiften years, and I can say without hesitation, that your system is by FAR the best I have ever encountered. - Your enthusiasm is both infectious and inspiring. It is immediately obvious that you both love TEACHING. A rare commodity in the field of learning these days. This attribute also sets you apart from all other training organizations I have encountered in my career to date. - You both have an amazing encyclopedic knowledge of the subject matter. White-boarding concepts on the fly and explaining clearly the "how" and the "why" comes so easily to you both. Never having to wait more than a moment or two, and more often than not, no waiting at all, to get the help that you need is invaluable in a learning environment... Achieving the level of expertise required to pass the CCIE lab exam is a big task requiring a lot of personal sacrifices and a lot of hard work over a long period of time. It’s
a big investment in many ways. Getting the best training and support is immensely important in achieving this goal. So why did I travel half way around the world from Dublin, Ireland to Arlington Heights, Chicago, USA to do a CCIE training course? To get the best training available anywhere in the world. And that’s exactly what I got. The best CCIE training and support available anywhere in the world. Naren and Bahram, thank you both for the mountains of patience, encouragement, and support you provided me with to get me over the finishing line. I couldn’t have done it without you.

Zijie Zhang, CCIE #18041

CyscoExpert did a terrific job in getting me ready to pass this tough CCIE Security Lab exam. I'd recommend CyscoExpert to anyone who is pursuing the CCIE Security certification. It is simply the best in the industry.

Wageh Eid, CCIE #17569

I wanted to thank Naren/Bahram at CyscoExpert for their excellent CCIE training. Finally I have passed my CCIE R&S after multiple attempts, I have taken the CyscoExpert boot camp back in May 2006 prior to my first attempt. The bootcamp was very helpful, and I definitely recommend their bootcamp especially for a candidate who has attempted the lab, as their one-to-one training will help the candidate to work on his/her weaknesses, and it will help understanding the wording in the real lab. My special thanks to Naren who was always there when I need his help with any questions or clarifications even after months since I took their training. I am now working on my CCIE security and will definitely go back for Security bootcamp.

Clifton Folkerts, CCIE #17516

Bahram and Naren, I wanted to let you know that my results came back this morning and I am happy to say that I have passed the CCIE R&S lab exam Feb 6th on my first attempt! My number is 17516. I believe that your one-on-one training is the difference between a pass and a fail for me. You helped me understand the technologies in depth and I was able to apply that knowledge in the lab exam. I will definitely recommend your training to anyone that is pursuing their CCIE. Thanks again.

Terry Smith, CCIE #17499

aren and Bahram, I am pleased to let you know that I have passed the CCIE lab. Tonight I was awarded the number of 17499. I want to thank both of you for helping me along in this process. Your 1 on 1 training method was great and was exactly what I needed. Within 2 hours you determined my gaps and then we started to focus on fixing the problems. I cannot thank you two enough and I look forward to seeing you when I start Security.

Margaret Marsh, CCIE #17476

The double CCIE instructors, Naren Mehta and Bahram Chaboki, of CyscoExpert genuinely care about the success of their students in passing the CCIE lab exam, and they have an immense amount of patience. The CyscoExpert's unique customized, one-on-one, training program helps you to learn how to solve complex configuration problems yourself. This training helps you identify your weaknesses and their live, one-on-one, discussion that is designed just for you helps you understand the technology thoroughly. By the time you are done with your training, you will really internalize the concepts and will have a confidence to tackle any task you get on the big day. CyscoExpert was instrumental in helping me get over my last mental hurdle that I had created for myself.

Rolf Schaerer, CCIE #17218

I passed my CCIE R&S on my 3rd attempt after 5 days of very intensive training with Naren and Bahram at CyscoExpert. I learned a lot - especially what I've done wrong on my two missed lab exam attempts and I got used to the key elements for a real CCIE candidate. The guys at CyscoExpert simply know what they're talking about! Thanks a lot for everything!

Manoj Melwani, CCIE #17197

I want to thank Naren/Bahram at CyscoExpert for their excellent training. Your training was very intense and solid and I felt very confident when I walked out of CyscoExpert and here I have my CCIE # now. I will definitely come back for Security. You guys are the best.

West Bryant, CCIE #17158

Cyscoexpert is simply the best CCIE preparation available. Their labs not only teach you the skills needed to tackle any scenario on the exam, but they also make you think about how things might actually apply to the real-world. I learned more in two weeks than I did in 2 months of studying on my own.

Dennis Nesnidal, CCIE #17076

I passed the R&S lab on October 23, 2006. After 10 years of experience and chasing this certification, CyscoExperts made my career goal a reality! I received the quality one-to-one training I needed with double CCIE instructors which targeted my weak areas and made my strong areas even stronger. All of my questions were not only answered at CXP but proven in customized lab exams. CXP filled the gaps I needed to pass the exam and helped boost my career by making me the top network
engineer in a large company. No other training even compares! Thanks Naren, Bahram and Tom!

Raminder Sarna, CCIE #16712

I just passed my CCIE R&S Lab shortly after attending the one-on-one Interaction at CyscoExpert in July.... its not JUST a training .. it's a one-on-one interaction with one or more of the best CCIE instructors !! Naren & Bahram, you guys rock! I say all this, cause I flew in from Melbourne, in Australia (yes it takes 26 hours one way end-to-end), just to strengthen my CCIE concepts & time management skills & to get rid of the psychological Lab fears and pass the Lab!!... I was put on to my own rack with the hardest of lab scenarios I have ever seen, their labs just threw me off the chair initially !! ... during & after each lab, Naren & Bahram helped me identify & solidify the
missing links in my conceptual knowledge!! ... they dynamically kept changing the contents of the practice labs for me, all so that i could work more towards removing my weak areas ... this kind of one-to-one lab-customization and one-to-one lab instruction from Naren & Bahram is what made the difference for me ... after 2 weeks (of the hardest labs you'll ever see) they had bridged all the gaps in my conceptual preparation ... and in my last week Bahram sat down with me & got rid of my
psychological CCIE fears/traps, and gave me invalueable advice on how to be in control of my Lab-exam. Guys, this experience is worth it !! Before CyscoExpert, i was out there just like everyone else, did the best of practice-labs and got good marks and thought i was ready, but was doubtful ... all till I went to CyscoExpert, who customized the lab hardness to remove all my weak areas while further strengthening my good-areas, they also gave me one-on-one lectures, exam taking strategies
and psychological advice !! .... On the day of the lab, I was more than ready, there was no panic on that day, I was in control of the rack at all times and there was no trap I couldn't see and there was no doubt, no over confidence and no fear in my mind ... Thank you Naren & Bahram, I am coming back for CCIE Security ... see you soon ! ...

Nicholas Jaksec, CCIE #16636

Thanks so much for all your help. The training was superb!! Thanks for the eye opener on all such things as questions to ask the proctor, the backbone routers, etc. You are by far one of the best trainers I have been around, your explanations are super clear. Also, thanks so much on all the binary info, that definitely helped me in the lab exam and will do so in the real world. I will be seeing you guys soon for the security lab, probably in September. Take care and thanks again.

Robert Cedar, CCIE #16199

Thanks for all the work and attention you guys gave me last week. You are the best. I look forward to seeing you again when I start work on the Security Exam. Your one on one method really put me over the top.

Adrian Mornaila, CCIE #16030

Without CyscoExpert’s help I couldn’t have passed my CCIE R&S Lab exam. I have attended many typical class-room based training classes and I am a trainer myself; however, I have not seen anywhere the training approach that CyscoExpert uses. At CyscoExpert, I have received live customized lectures from double CCIEs delivered one-to-one on the topics where I was weak and were not explained in any documentation, books, and workbooks. I am now convinced that this approach is the best way to train CCIE candidates. It gave me the in-depth knowledge and helped me master the skills necessary to configure the complex tasks in the shortest amount of time.
Thank you CyscoExpert for all your help!

Phil Boulo, CCIE #15884

I passed by R&S lab on March 3. Thank you so much for your support. The time I spent with you helped me to identify and correct the areas I was failing in. The instruction that you offer is far superior than any workbook or bootcamp that I attended. I feel the real difference that you offer in one on one instruction that helps the student see where they are making the mistakes. Going line by line over a practice lab and asking questions why did you do this...and what made you think this way as well as the quaility of your practice lab material. Two thumbs up for Cyscoexpert! ... and I will be returning for my security cert ...

John Crawford, CCIE #15870 (R&S, Security)

Nine months on from R&S and I am writing to you (Bahram and Naren) again to say
thanks for all the help you have given me in getting my CCIE Security. Not just for the classroom training but for all the encouragement by phone and email too. Since I first emailed CXP in Nov 2005 you have both taken such an interest in what I was trying to achieve and have become good friends. I think using CXP for two sessions was a good idea. The first trip helped me understand exactly where I was with my studies and then keep me focused as I toyed away for hours in my home-lab!
Returning for a second session before the exam and completing customized labs sometimes with 2:1(!) instruction meant I could progress quickly through all the published blueprint and stay interested and enthusiastic. As with R&S I found the set classroom times and focus on quality study with a balance of rest/relaxation to be very effective. I look forward to revisiting in order to help me maintain the quality of my certification and to catch up with you both again.

John Crawford, CCIE #15870 (R&S, Security)

Last month, from Ireland I flew to Chicago and spent two weeks at CyscoExpert’s facility in Arlington Heights, IL, USA, and passed CCIE R&S Lab exam the following week (thankfully!) on my first attempt! You could really use CXP at any stage of your preparation as all exercises/lectures are customized for a student. For the two weeks I worked consistently with the same tutor (Bahram) who is absolutely excellent and a very nice guy. He was able to spot the weaknesses I had in topics I actually thought I was good at! On the final day we spent all afternoon just on a whiteboard together with Bahram pushing me one last time on all those weaker topics to a level which to be honest was probably way above what is needed for R&S. I left Chicago believing I could pass. The student:teacher ratio was always 1:1. I never had to wait to get Bahram to help me. Any exercises were marked and discussed together as soon as I was ready which was great. One thing I enjoyed was that the atmosphere was very relaxed and well-paced so even at the end of two weeks I didn't feel overly tired (well, not until the long travel back to Ireland!) and Naren gave me the brilliant advice to just do nothing until my lab the following week. So my last weeks’ preparation was plenty of long walks, sleep, and a few pints of Guinness with my friends!

Rajesh Chacko, CCIE #15703 (R&S, Security)

I wish to thank you and CyscoExpert for being an integral part of my journey to achieve my CCIE. Without your help, guidance, tutoring and tips/tricks this journey could have been a gruesome one. I enjoyed every moment of my time I spent with you, you made it fun and time and money spent well worth. You showed me my deficiencies that I would never have figured out by doing labs by myself. Your approach to personalized training is by far the best. I will be coming back for Security and I just can't wait for you guys to start Voice.

Rajesh Chacko, CCIE #15703 (R&S, Security)

With the customized 1:1 training that CyscoExpert provided me and the two weeks of intense coaching helped me achieve my goal to become a Security CCIE within a mere five months whilst keeping a full time job. Thank you CyscoExpert and thank you Mr. Mehta.

Kirk Shatto, CCIE #15635 (R&S, Security)

CyscoExpert’s unique training style kept me constantly challenged and the training gave me the focus and confidence I needed to pass the
Security Lab. Thanks CyscoExpert!!!

Kirk Shatto, CCIE #15635 (R&S, Security)

CyscoExpert first helped me pass my Security lab; and now they did a fantastic job preparing me to successfully pass my R&S lab. They are patient, knowledgeable and fun to learn from. CyscoExpert’s training is unparalleled for CCIE lab preparation. Thanks Naren and Bahram!

Niraj Palikhey, CCIE #15588

4 years and 4 attempts later I finally became a CCIE - 2 weeks back on the 21st of Dec 2005. I would like to thank CyscoExpert in Chicago without whom I might not have
made it this time. Their training methodology is what helped me pass this time. I would highly recommend them to those candidates that have attempted the Lab or are
about to take it the first time - either way, their training will help you understand where and what you are doing wrong. Being able to interpret the questions the correct
way will help you to pass the Lab. Naren and Bahram - thank you so much.

Anthony Kwan, CCIE #15230 (R&S, Security)

Cyscoexpert takes me to the next level. They are essential in helping me get the certification.

Saroj Silwal, CCIE #15130

Cyscoexpert is uniquely designed to fit the profile of each individual student. In my case, their one-on-one sessions enabled me to discover my weaknesses and gain
confidence. The lab exam requires a great deal of accuracy and reliability and Cyscoexpert helps to attain this. Another very important feature of this training is that the
scenarios at Cyscoexpert are very rigorous and provide one the opportunity to practice at the CCIE level. I believe that Cyscoexpert was instrumental in allowing me to
attain this prestigious certification.

Rus Healy, CCIE #15025

CyscoExpert provided me with two weeks of interactive, highly challenging training, on my schedule, that helped me complete the CCIE trail many months sooner than I
could have hoped to if I were working on my own. The trainers are all highly experienced trainers, technical experts, are friendly and have the right attitude. In addition to
being the right solution for accelerating CCIE lab exam preparation, CyscoExpert training is a great value. It's an experience I will always value and will never forget!

Andrew Brant, CCIE #14715 (R&S, Security)

CyscoExperts unique teaching approach allowed me to acquire very strong
troubleshooting skills, build up the speed, and accuracy. At the end of the training I was able to configure very complex security tasks, spot compatibility issues, and
most importantly – build the correct solution on the first attempt. Very solid preparation technique, no shortcuts, complete understanding of all “building blocks” proved to
be the perfect recipe for success – passing both CCIE: Routing & Switching and CCIE: Security tracks in 12 months. Outstanding job CyscoExperts! Thank you Bahram
and Naren!!!

Andrew Brant, CCIE #14715 (R&S, Security)

I passed on my first try last Tuesday in RTP. Compared to pretty much any CXP practice lab the real test was not that hard. I was
able to complete my lab by the lunch time. Following the advice of my instructors I did not leave earlier and instead spent the rest of the day double/triple checking
everything (not to mention the delicious southern food that they serve for lunch). I have to thank all CyscoExperts instructors – Bacho, Mitch, Naren, Tom and Bahram.
Thank you for doing such a great job – I enjoyed learning from the best. I can honestly recommend these guys to any CCIE candidate. The integrity and level of
professionalism of these people is second to none. With just about any other company out there your only option would be to take a class or even worse online class,
buy some overpriced books and that’s it – they could not care less about you and your personal goals. I got much more than just a CCIE number from these guys – I
have actually learned the technology and the necessary troubleshooting skills to be successful in the real production environment. The only CCIE lab training that they
offer is one-on-one practice labs (that’s right – one-on-one) – there are no answers/proctor guides or anything like that. Doc CD – Practice Lab – your own rack of
equipment (some good coffee too) and that’s it. You are forced to research every topic that you are not familiar with and then discuss it with the instructors. This way you
actually retain the information as well as practice finding the necessary information on the Doc CD in a matter of seconds. Best of luck to all CCIE candidates – I have
already started my CCIE Security preparation!

Jorge Barrera, CCIE #13691

When I attended CyscoExpert for the first time back in 2002, I thought that I was going to be able to get it done in a matter of weeks. The CyscoExpert guys took the time
to explain me all the requirements and then I reliazed I was not ready. With their help I was able to understand and implement the technology. They are the best in the
industry and I would recommend them to everyone pursuing the CCIE certification. Thank you CyscoExpert.

Cherie Vachon, CCIE #13653

Just passed my Security CCIE lab exam yesterday. I'd like to thank all the guys at Cyscoexpert for their help. They are awesome, and the practice labs they put together
will get you prepared for the real thing. These guys really know their stuff, and I highly recommend them.

Thomas Young, CCIE #13484 (R&S, Security)

The CyscoExpert training is excellent. The training was tailored to my skills; so, I didn't waste time reviewing information that I already knew. The instructors are extremely knowledgeable. I had studied for months, and I knew much of the material. The instructors were able to fill in the gaps with hard-to-find information that I had been missing. When I was finished with my one week class, my technical research was complete. I understood how all the technologies worked in addition to all the configuration commands needed. I barely missed my first attempt at the CCIE Security lab. The only thing I did after that was more practice labs to memorize the commands and bring my times down. I passed on my second attempt.

Erling Bjontegard, CCIE #13475

After studying for the CCIE for 2,5-3 years and 4 tries passing the exam without success I decided to go to CyscoExpert for an intensive preparation for my next try at RTP.
Before I showed up at CyscoExpert I was told to be in good shape and be prepared for hard training. And it was really hard. CyscoExpert gave me lot of cases to work on
which is even harder than given on the real exam. And soon CyscoExpert discovered my weaknesses and stressed me with even more stuff in these areas. When I had
problems there was always someone that could help me and explain the theory behind. This one-to-one relationship is very useful. I thought it was a big chance-taking
going from Oslo Norway to Chicago for preparation for my next exam try. But now I'm so happy doing this. It has been a wonderful time being at CyscoExpert that I will
think of as a good period in my life. When I showed up at CyscoExpert I felt immediately I was welcome and that they really wanted me to achieve my CCIE. Thank you to
Naren, Bahram, Bacho, Peter and Tom. You are my friends. And I promise to come back if I'm going for the Security.

Abbas Ali, CCIE #13390

I passed my lab on a 2nd attempt, and owe my CCIE# to CyscoExpert. I went through lots of workbooks, mocklabs etc, and didn't even realize that how much I was
missing until I spent 5-days at CyscoExpert. The key benefits at CyscoExpert bootcamp are numerous, but the major ones are: They teach you how to read questions
properly, They teach what to watch out for, They teach you how many ways the questions can be solved, and the best one is that they will make you find the answers by
yourselves. Many many thanks to Bahram, Bacho, and Mitch who were always there for me whenever I needed them. Thanks.

William Boye, CCIE #13233

When I remember it, you were having a very busy month with a lot of people joining your excellent classes. I still think that you are doing a terrific job with your
professional skills, the very comfortable and concentrated atmosphere you are creating inside your facility and your dedication you are giving into your work. To all of you
and especially to Bacho and to Mitch my deep thanks!

Raj Singh, CCIE #13227

passed on my first try in RTP on the 27th. I was done with the lab in about 4 hours into the lab; the rest of the time I spend was checking my configs. I would like to send
a special thanks to CyscoExpert. I could not have done this without them; they were the light in dark. I would like to thank Bacho, Mitch, Bahram, Peter, Tom and Naren for
helping me through this. They held my hand and walked me through this certification.

Kenneth Chan, CCIE #13090

I had failed the lab exam before and gave up completely. One day, I chatted with one of my friends who was also pursuing the certification, he mentioned 2 of the guys
we knew passed the lab with their names listed on CyscoExpert. So I came to CyscoExpert for a week. I don't need to explain how hard the practice labs are. There, you
will definitely get much more than what you bargained for. To me, I considered that a bonus. It not only helped to pass the exam, but also to gossip the routing and
switching comprehension. Afterwards, I found myself joined Cisco's "Hall of Pain".

Andrew McLaughlin, CCIE #13089 (R&S, Security, SP)

passed the CCIE Security a few weeks ago. Now I am a double CCIE! (one of less then 300 with both R&S and Security) I am writing this to thank the awesome instructors at CyscoExpert and give people who have their minds set on this difficult trail some things to think about. I have been blessed and fortunate to learn about CyscoExpert from a posting on GroupStudy a couple of years ago and then to have multiple opportunities to study at CyscoExpert in Chicago (I live in the northeast). I went to CyscoExpert for my first CCIE, Routing and Switching, and then for my second CCIE Security. Routing and Switching took a longer time to complete because of many reasons (work, personal, etc.), but I am certain that without the expert instruction and friendship that I received from CyscoExpert, getting one would have been many times more difficult and taken longer much less getting a second only 6 months after the first. I want to do another, but I have put my personal life on hold for about 2 years - so maybe down the road someday??

Andrew McLaughlin, CCIE #13089 (R&S, Security, SP)

I would have had a snow balls chance in hell of passing if it were not for some truly awesome guys at a place called CyscoExpert in Chicago. You all are wonderful people and I consider you friends. I could not have achieved this without your help. I owe you my respect and gratitude to Bahram, Naren, Tom, Bacho, Peter, and Mitch. It was a long road, but I was not alone. Thank you and I look forward to having a beer with all of you the next time I am in town!

Felix Wu, CCIE #12919

Without your training and good advise, I don't think I can achieve this level. Time was my biggest enemy. But after a week of training at CyscoExpert, I completed my lab
2+ hrs early. After reviewing the lab couple of times, I was sure I would get my number. Thank you for your outstanding program and I am looking forward to see all of you
in my Security training.

Stephen Grasser, CCIE #12916

The week I spent in Chicago with you and your team was outstanding. I was able to quickly figure out the concepts troubling me and work on those issues. The hands
on environment was so much better than the typical lecture and practice approach of other establishments. If I needed help someone was there, if I needed a detailed
explanation of a topic, someone was there. I simply cannot say enough about the ability of the staff. But more than that, the staff was personable, easy to get along with
and genuinely interested in my success. I never felt as if I was just another faceless number going through an impersonal training class. There was more to this class
than just the technical aspect. The instructors took the time to explain the nuances in the questions. A big part of the CCIE lab is understanding what you are being
asked and the instructors and exercises at CyscoExpert really get you thinking and more importantly deciphering the questions to understand the concepts and
questions being asked. Mental preparation is so important and I believe that they understand this. To anybody looking for an edge to conquer the CCIE, I can think of no
place better than CyscoExpert. I look forward to coming back to CyscoExpert to tap this invaluable resource as I prepare to tackle the CCIE Security.

CyscoExpert is the only training camp that talks the talk and provides one on one interaction to understand the concepts and configure the concepts every which way that is even conceivable. Even when you may be telling yourself this is inconceivable. If you want the best it is Cyscoexpert. A house build on mud will slide into the sea. But a house build on a solid foundation will forever hold.

Felix Kissiedu, CCIE #12858

CyscoExpert in my opinion is the best place to prepare for the CCIE program. I always felt I was ready to take the CCIE exam until I went to CyscoExpert and found out there was more room for improvement. The training they offered me was second to none and will certainly go back for my security training. Training at CycoExpert is certainly a lifetime achievement and will recommend it for any aspiring CCIEs. Thank you

Michael Nordhoff, CCIE #12849

These guys really know there stuff and are enthusiastic in sharing it with others. I went to Chicago feeling confident I was ready and they put me over the top with their rigorous curriculum and hands-on approach to teaching. I left feeling that they genuinely cared about my success and did everything they could to help me realize my goal. The fee for attending was well worth it.

Roger McNeace, CCIE #12777

I read all the standard books and did hundreds of hours on my home rack but I would really recommend the CyscoExpert bootcamp. These guys are really sharp and gave me the skills to push me over the edge. After taking their bootcamp I walked into the lab with the "eye of the tiger" and finished the lab at 12:45 with 3+hours to review.

Ricardo Daza, CCIE #12671 (R&S, Security)

Two CCIEs in less than two months! What more can I say. Let me start by saying that this is the best technical training program that I have every taken. The major difference between CyscoExpert and traditional classroom style lab training is that they guys at CyscoExpert understand how we engineers learn. We learn by doing and making mistakes and trying different things. That is exactly what you get; labs that are more challenging than the actual lab, and the freedom to explore other solutions, to truly push your current knowledge to the next level. If and when you get stuck there is always someone ready to clearly explain it to you and then challenge your new knowledge to make sure that it sticks. When I finally sat down to take my first lab (R/S) I opened the lab book and actually laughed, it was so much easier than what I had just been doing the week before at CyscoExpert. The second lab (Security) was also a very similar experience as I had covered many more complex labs the week prior working with Peter. If you are serious about getting your CCIE and serious about not just passing but truly learning Routing and Switching or Security to a CCIE level this is the only place for you.

Bal Belen, CCIE #12648 (R&S, Security)

I would like to thank all of the folks at Cyscoexpert for helping me in getting my number. The training that I received from your place is by far the best that I have been to and by far the best investment that I've made. Your instructors truly know the materials and the one-on-one instruction is unique. I'll be seing you guys soon for my Security lab. Again, thank you very much Bahram, Bacho, Mitch, Peter, Tom and Naren. You guys are the best.

Vikram Dadlaney, CCIE #12611

would like to thank the trainers at CyscoExpert who made all this possible and without whom I would still be without a number. Their school is really top notch and they train you on the nitty gritty details that can eventually make a difference and which is what helped me. They make you think about the various possibilities there are to solve a given problem and they built up all my confidence which got me through the lab. Thank you so much guys.

Jon O'Nan, CCIE #10613

I had taken the lab previously, but decided I was taking my CCIE Lab for the final time on Oct 28. I had been studying completely on my own and felt I was not making the progress needed to pass. I then looked into several training courses and Cyscoexpert seemed to be the only one tailored to an individuals needs. It turned out to be a great investment! The CCIE's on staff where able to guide me through scenarios that solidified the fundamentals and filled in the gaps. I was able to complete my lab by noon and had the rest of the day to check my configs. I would recommend to anyone seeking the CCIE to attend Cyscoexpert, no matter what stage in your studies.
