One of the things I have learned in my 10 plus years of teaching online training courses is that having multiple instructors can be very, very powerful. Hearing a different voice, considering a different opinion and approach, and experiencing a different teaching style can be a breath of fresh air.

When I asked a few of my most celebrated Cisco instructor colleagues about what they thought about stopping by sessions in my upcoming IPexpert Lab Fundamentals bootcamp, the response was overwhelming. These instructors all firmly believe in the incredible importance of the fundamentals when it comes to success in the CCIE exam environment. Not just the fundamentals in the technologies (which allows for easy written passage as a bonus), but also the fundamentals in strategies of both lab study and practical application.

I am so proud to announce the following Guest Speakers for this event:
