Between the free offerings from Internetwork Expert and IPexpert, CCIE candidates can score a lot of world-class training for free.  These free classes can also help you decide which vendor you would like to purchase training from if you haven’t already chosen a vendor.  Bravo to Internetwork Expert and IPexpert for providing these free resources.

Internetwork Expert: IPv6, Dynamips on Mac, and Cool Shirts

Internetwork Expert just sent out their September newsletter.  There are a couple of items of interest for R&S CCIE candidates:

On 26 September, IE will be conducting the second of their four announced free V-Seminars.  This month’s topic will be IPv6.  If last month’s V-Seminar is any indication, then they will most likely record the IPv6 class and put it up on their site for on-demand viewing.  This is good for candidates who can’t make it to the live class.

Building on the strength of their excellent Dynamips for Windows class-on-demand, IE will be releasing a COD for Dynamips using the MAC OSx operating system.   This class is scheduled to be available some time during the week of 17 – 21 September. 

If you are a customer of Internetwork Expert and you pass your lab, you can send them your name, CCIE number, and mailing address and they will send you a free polo shirt with your name and CCIE number on it.  They don’t show a picture of the shirt, but I think that this is a really cool idea.
