10-Day Intensive Instructor-Led Boot Camp
The CCIE Security Lab Exam is a demanding exam, requiring a high degree of advanced knowledge and preparation. For some certification candidates, the 1-Week Lab Experience Boot Camp is the perfect solution, while others require a bit more personalized instruction and practice time to master the material. That’s why we created our powerfully effective 10-Day Intensive Instructor-Led Boot Camp specifically designed for CCIE candidates who require a combination of in-depth lecture, one-on-one guidance, and practical, hands-on lab experience using the most updated mock labs available anywhere.
What makes our training so exceptional and our exam pass rates so remarkably high? For starters, we ensure that each Cathayschool student has his or her own personal instructor throughout the entire boot camp experience. No other training program in the world offers this degree of individualized training! With this one-of-a-kind solution, you hold the key to becoming CCIE Security certified and launching your new career in a matter of weeks.
In addition to having a personal instructor dedicated to your success, by attending our 10-Day Intensive Instructor-Led Boot Camp, you gain access to the most updated and advanced mock labs available anywhere! Unlike other CCIE training programs that use outdated labs or labs that poorly reflect those used during the actual CCIE Security Lab Exam, Cathayschool guarantees that every mock lab simulates the actual lab experience to the highest degree. Why waste time and money practicing outdated simulations on obsolete equipment, when Cathayschool offers you the most up-to-date lab experience that money can buy?

Course Schedule:
Days 1 – 9: Skill Mastery
This course offers you the unique opportunity to study alongside your instructor for the first nine days of training. No other program in the world offers this degree of individualized assistance. Together, you and your instructor will concentrate on full-scale labs which closely mirror the labs you will experience on the actual lab exam. To ensure that you fully understand the requirements and solution to every portion of each lab exercise, your instructor will work closely with you every step of the way.
After working with your instructor, you will be required to complete each lab on your own using the skills you have gleaned during instruction. By completing each lab, you will build confidence and achieve maximum proficiency within a short amount of time. In addition, this type of fast-paced, individualized instruction will allow you to concentrate on your areas of weakness, strengthen your existing skills, and improve your speed and self-reliance.
During our 10-Day Intensive Instructor-Led Boot Camp, as well as during all of our CCIE Security boot camps, your instructor is readily available to provide clarification on mock lab questions and scenarios, just like your proctor will be during your certification lab exam. This means that instead of simply feeding you the answers, your instructor will encourage you to think problems through in the same way you will need to during the actual exam. However, if you need additional assistance to complete the lab, your instructor is also there to guide you to full understanding of the requirements and solution to that portion of the lab scenario.
Day 10: Final Review and Advanced Test Taking Strategies
The last day of the course is designed to provide you and your instructor ample time to discuss final configurations and solutions, as well as crucial test taking strategies and tips that have allowed hundreds of Cathayschool students to pass the CCIE Security Lab Exam on the first try.
