CCIE Central - UPDATE:
Cisco Offers Pre-Lab Assessment for CCIE Candidates

Cisco recently announced the CCIE Assessor Lab for Routing and Switching -- the first CCIE lab preparation product developed and offered by Cisco. Using a remote Web interface, the CCIE Assessor Lab delivers an experience similar to an actual lab exam, to help you identify gaps in your preparation and devise an effective test-taking strategy.

The eight-hour CCIE lab exam is commonly perceived to be demanding and stressful, especially for first-time lab candidates. Designed as a tool for exam preparation, the four-hour CCIE Assessor Lab is a Cisco-authored practice lab featuring remote access to live equipment like that used in the actual lab. In addition, you will receive a detailed assessment of your performance, including configuration tips, correct commands, and suggestions for further study.

For an introductory period, Cisco will offer the CCIE Assessor Lab for US$279 (list price of US$349). Online scheduling is currently available.

For more details on scheduling a session, access requirements, and assessment results, visit:
