Outline Internetwork Expert has offered to assist in developing a study plan and we will meet once a  month online with Internetwork Expert to discuss progress, issues, and new topics that may need to be added to the study plan.  This meeting will help the group maintain focus which will allow the group to be more productive.

We will focus on mastering the core topics on the CCIE R&S Lab exam.  We will utilize CCIE Routing & Switching Core Lab Workbook from Internetwork Expert.  Each member will have an opportunity to practice some portion of the lab during each group meeting.  We will focus on strengthening everyone’s weaknesses.  These are short labs so we will have a pre and post assessment of the technology we are working with that week.  Pre lab will be an overview presented by a group member.  Post lab will be an open forum discussing issues.


Discussion during the group meetings will be encouraged and each member will show respect and professionalism to others.  The meetings will be fast-paced but we will not just skip over issue that the group doesn’t fully grasp. We will track issues and questions on topics and either address them to the CCIE-Group Study or through the CCIE Forum at Internetwork Expert.


The cost of lab rentals will be shared among the group and if materials are purchased that the group decides it needs the cost will be evenly distributed among it members.
