At every stage, special customised workshops, unique to the NetGun Academy Program, provide high levels of practical work to reinforce the theory. At the end of the program, NetGun students are also encouraged to participate in a two day exam practice session, providing a similar experience to the labs and atmosphere of the actual CCIE lab. To achieve CCIE success, students require a mastery of routing and bridging technologies and their associated protocols. They must be able to configure and troubleshoot enterprise networks theoretically and in real life. A maximum of twelve CCIE candidates are allowed on each NetGun Academy Program.
Students stay together for the duration of their studies.
The team spirit that develops among NetGun candidates, their instructors and administrators is one of the key success factors. The training, in the classroom as well as in the workshops, provides the critical theoretical knowledge and testing experience necessary to pass the CCIE examination. The program supplements the necessary troubleshooting experience that even seasoned engineers may be lacking. The program provides the additional hands-on workshops required to fully prepare for the CCIE lab. The program includes a comprehensive feedback mechanism for students, often not provided on public courses.
