The study materials from IPexpert played a very important role in my recent success on the CCIE Security lab. I used their practice labs in conjunction with their security rack rental service through proctorlabs.com. The difficulty of the labs scaled very well and challenged me every step of the way. I would recommend this combination to anyone preparing for the Security CCIE lab.

I passed the CCIE Security on October 6th, 2009 and now I am proud to be CCIE #25629. 

My lab studying started last year and had a failure March, still for v2. Then I started to study for V3. 

I used IPexpert workbooks and I’ve found them awesome!!! Read carefully every lab from both volume 1 and 2 and practice a lot… You will be good for the lab portion…For the OEQ, I recommend people reading all the examples, I mean, the explanation part why you are configuring it and be sure you are able to explain even with your own words... Ah, reading Q&A documents at Cisco site is also good for OEQ. 

Finally, try to develop a strategy to solve the lab. Remember that 4 points for an “easy” (easy means that YOU know how to do it without looking for any documentation) question values the same that 4 points for a tough question… 

To finish, I had scheduled my exam in August to be doing it in October when something nobody desires happened. I was almost good to go when I had the sad news that my mother had passed away. I almost quit the idea of doing the test, but I am sure she would be very happy if I passed it, as she was expecting me to do so…

I took a long way to became CCIE Security. At final phase (preparing to Lab) I used IPexpert package (Lab Preparation Workbook with Proctor Guide, Audio and Video lectures) and I found the IPexpert material very useful since it covered basically all the technologies tested in the real Lab and it provided enough practical excersise. Video material for VPN concentrator and ACS was especially valuable. All the material was not only useful to prepare for the Lab but as a quick refreshment before next attempt (as we all know it happens quite often :) ) 

Thanks to all the people in IPexpert who invested their time and efforts in the development of these nice learning materials. 

The IPexpert Security Workbook is the only lab book I purchased to prepare for the Security lab exam. The examples were detailed and thorough. It helped me tremendously and allowed me to think of different avenues of approach to the test. 

I passed the Security lab on my first attempt in Brussels. Thanks!

I want to thank you and your staff for providing me the necessary study tools to pass this lab. Also the efforts you made to me personally by answering my emails were outstanding. I would recommend your materials to anyone looking to take this test. 

Again... many, many thanks and a lifetime of gratitude to the hard work and level of intelligence you folks put forth every day.
