Third time not so lucky…

February 12, 2013 · by David Rothera · in CCIE, Exam, General, Studying

I’ve been quiet on here since my last attempt but yesterday I once again made the trip to the Lab in Brussels…. and once again have come back empty handed. Unlike my first two attempts I felt secure with this attempt, my troubleshooting went well and all tickets were completed and the configuration was sailed through with more than enough time to triple check everything and even reboot all the kit and check it again. Someone said before that you never really fail until you give up but this time…

CCIE Lab – Booked…

May 30, 2012 · by David Rothera · in CCIE, Exam, General

Tonight I have made the plunge and booked a lab date to make my first attempt at the CCIE R&S lab over in Brussels. Whilst it is still a way off at the moment I think this will be the best way for me to work, it gives me just under a couple of months before the payment due date, by which time I should know for sure if I am running ahead or behind of my schedule and adjust accordingly because once that 90-day barrier has been crossed there…

INE Vol1 – Bridging and switching – done

February 27, 2012 · by David Rothera · in CCIE, Exam, General, Studying

Before christmas I started my way through the INE Vol1 advanced tech labs and got through the first couple of books, I think I was at RIP. Unfortunately because of a temporary resource issue with the CCIE rack I have use of combined with christmas, work being hectic due to a new DC rollout and my January holiday over to the USA the studies got put to one side. Since then I’ve moved out from my parents house (yes, get all the living with your parents jokes out of the…

CCIP done…. CCIE here I come!

June 18, 2011 · by David Rothera · in CCIE, CCIE Written, CCIP, Dynamips, Exam, General, Studying, Uncategorized

I have been a little quiet on the blogging front for a while, the reason being I have recently taken on some more responsibilities at work and have also decided to knuckle down and finish my CCIP. A little over a week ago now I completed my CCIP by doing the QoS exam which I have to say was quite refreshing, I had thoughts in my head that it was going to be a lot worse than it actually was. Now that I have completed my CCIP I have already…

2011 – Whats to come?

January 2, 2011 · by David Rothera · in CCIP, Exam, General, Studying

I thought I would join every man and his dog and write either a 2010 recap or a 2011 prediction post. Over the past 12 months I have began and completed my CCNP certification and now have that certification bug that I swear should be a medical condition, the only way to cure it is to get yet more exams done! Some of my goals for 2011 may be a little farfetched however some are easily obtainable.
