Course description
The Firefly CCIE SAN Lab BootCamp is an intensive 5-day hands-on experience that will prepare you to take and pass the Cisco CCIE Storage Networking Lab Exam.

Through a series of challenging lab workshops and analysis, you will become intimately familiar with the format and the demands of the CCIE Lab Exam. You'll learn what to expect, how to prepare, and how to master the unique challenges of this rigorous exam.

Our CCIE-certified instructors will also provide you with tips for preparing for the exam and for surviving and succeeding on the day of your exam.
  • You will spend the remainder of Day 1 and Days 2 and 3 working on your first practice exam. After each task, your instructor will help you analyze your performance and identify areas for improvement. You will then review the key configuration procedures, validation steps, best practices, and common errors for each task.
  • On Days 4 and 5, you will be asked to attempt two more complete practice exams, start-to-finish. You'll spend the late afternoon and early evening analyzing your results.
