Currently working on a non-technical article that involves CCIE and iPhone … let’s hope I finish it very soon to be submitted.
Study-wise, I am left again with almost stars in my eyes when reading on redistribution and multicast. Probably QoS too but the others are fine ;-). Let’s see what happens in the next few days.
I will be attending Narbik Kocharian’s CCIE R&S bootcamp from June 1 to June 5 2009. This bootcamp will be hosted by TrainPro Academy situated in Mid Valley Malaysia (their webpage is at http://www.trainpro.com.my/). I will be of course writing a review on the bootcamp after finished attending it as I believe a majority of my time which is from 0900hrs to 2100hrs will be listening to his lecture and catching some sleep in-between and not forgetting lunch or dinner to that matter! I will be staying in a hotel (rather strange to live currently in Malaysia and yet rent a hotel) since I figure that it would be a waste of time for me to actually spend time travelling back and forth to my house instead of spending time on labs ;-).
For those who doesn’t know Narbik, he is a router God. His method of teaching from what I have read and heard involves only the whiteboard or should I say blackboard with chalks. He has a built-in IOS in him and he spits out commands with their options before you can finish typing them! How cool is that??? I am waiting for Navett’s review on his bootcamp since he is taking it in April 2009. You can also find excellent reviews on Narbik’s bootcamp at CCIE Candidate’s webpage and also at EDFNetwork’s webpage (of course there are a few other really cool reviews as well but I seem to forgot since I am typing this by memory). For those who wants to go straight to Narbik’s bootcamp page, please visit http://www.micronicstraining.com/ccie-routing-switching-lab.html and you’ll get more information there. It even comes with hotel accomodation information ;-).

For CCIE candidates who are going to attend Narbik bootcamp, Narbik will publish V2.0 of his famous workbook.  He will be here in Malaysia on 1 June to 5 June 2009.  I will update his class in my blog.

Below is Eman article about Narbik V2.0 workbook and his new workbook.

Occasionally while we are working on our daily grind we make friends with the people we deal with professionally. I have developed a strong respect for Narbik and I think we will become better friends as we work together to spread the gospel on CCIEs as a career track. I have discovered that Narbik travels to many more places than I do and my intention is to try and catch up to him. As far as individuals go who offer training internationally in support of preparing CCIEs not just for the lab but for life, he leads the pack. I was on the phone with him this past week. I was catching up with him and he shared a little secret with me. So I decided to tell everyone about it! I can keep secrets so don’t think I am a gab or anything but I am making him talk. So here are the notes from my interview with him.

Q: Narbik you have just returned to the USA from travels abroad. You have been working on a project you call Version two. What is version two?

A: Version 2.0 is by far the most complete and relevant work book and boot camp. We combined the existing “Advanced CCIE R&S Work Book” and “Boot Camp” work book (Which is what the students get when they attend our boot camp) and sell it as the new version 2.0. This will help students that can NOT attend the boot camp.

Currently 68 percent of our students that take our boot camp and our recommendations pass on their first attempt, the students can now purchase the new “Advanced CCIE R&S Work Book version 2.0” and they should have similar success.

BUT as far as the NEW boot camp 2.0, well I have added unbelievable amount of material to the new boot camp 2.0 work book and lectures. The idea is that if I add everything possible to my lectures and the new boot camp work book, then, what can they ask? They can NOT come up with a new command for the lab exam?

Q: So you have decided to launch Version Two with a guarantee I have never heard of in the industry. 80%?

A: Yes I know, look……this is what the students get when they attend our boot camps:
