How would you describe your EvoAcademy CCIE Voice Bootcamp lectures and lab content?
Response:"Exceptional Value I loved the student guides slides and Lab Workbooks, they both really compliment each other, when you're doing a full blown 8 hour lab and you need to find the answer in the shortest possible time, referencing these guides was invaluable. I did the full course starting from the foundation and finishing MOC Lab course this structured approach of learning really helped me grasp these complex scenarios when it came to the MOC Lab sessions cramming all these concepts into 8 Hours. Khalid’s teaching style was impeccable I remember finishing some nights at 12:00pm and having many one on one sessions with Khalid peppering me on some of the topics I struggled with such as Global Normalization, Advanced Dial Plan and much more"

How effective was your CCIE Voice lab equipment at EvoAcademy in preparing you for the exam?
Response: "Top class having exposure to 3750s, 7965s, 2821s ISR’s was as close as it gets to the actual Lab gear and current production kit in the market. I also like the screens on the walls when it came to the grading as being able to view other student’s configs really got me to grips with what the proctors are looking for."

How much value did you gain for both exam and on the job preparation?

Mr. Amer Khan

Network Operations Engineer

London, UK

How would you describe your EvoAcademy CCIE Voice Bootcamp lectures and lab content?
Response: "The Evo Academy course has exceeded my expectations many times over. I would recommend it to anyone who is serious and committed about learning Cisco VOIP or Lab prep. Evo Academy starts you at a Foundation Level and through their well structured and challenging Labs, which build on previous knowledge and get more and more challenging, they will take you from not knowing any VOIP to an Advanced Level. Other courses may provide a foundation of sorts, but I found the Foundation Level at Evo Academy provided a really solid root. After the Foundation Level you will have the ability to start working things out for yourself and the Intermediate Level has instilled in me the will and passion to delve deeper into the subject and to continue striving in this field. A few weeks ago I would never have believed I would be in a position to say that I am really looking forward to the Advanced Level!"

How effective was your CCIE Voice lab equipment at EvoAcademy in preparing you for the exam?
Response: "When it comes to the actual lab itself then no expense is spared. You have access to all the latest equipment and the best part is that there is no sharing. Each student has their own rack so there is no chance of anyone sabotaging your lab, or you sabotaging anyone else's. You will get plenty of hands with the latest CME, CUE, CUCM, UCCX, CUPC etc. The topologies are well thought out and designed to provide not just the best in exam preparation but also real life job preparation - and not duplicated every time!"

How much value did you gain for both exam and on the job preparation?
Response: "I am just starting a new field in UC, and my lab exam is just around the corner - but after talking with the other students, and seeing their progress coupled with my own, I am very confident of getting through this!"

How did you find the class environment and facilities during your studies with EvoAcademy?
Response: "A positive yet relaxed atmosphere which makes the classroom environment a more pleasant place to be and, in turn, a more effective, motivating place to learn"

On what grounds would you recommend the EvoAcademy CCIE Voice Bootcamp to a friend?
Response: "The qualities that set it apart from other courses are the fast pace, very high expectations and the great sense of support, encouragement and selfless commitment from the teacher and mutually supportive students all focused on a common goal. If the words 'rigorous' and 'thorough' seem attractive to you, add 'exhilarating ' and 'challenging' and you would have some idea of the inspiring nature of this course. But, be forewarned this course is not for the faint hearted or those with little will power, otherwise you will very quickly end up feeling Dain Bramaged!
Having said that if you stick through the initial mental blocks you will undoubtedly bear fruitful rewards
The approach taken is to throw students into the deep end, but fear not, there is a teacher-come-lifeguard who will help keep you afloat and teach you how to swim - this is the CCIE..."

Response: "Excellent value, really great classroom and all dedicated for Cisco UC/CCIE"

Mr. Neil Ginger

Senior Consultant, Security & Voice

London, UK

How would you describe your EvoAcademy CCIE Voice Bootcamp lectures and lab content?
Response: "This has been a tremendous course to take on and has taken my understanding about Cisco Voice to an etirely new level of understanding and practice allowing me to deliver more to my customers as well as for the lab exam"

How effective was your CCIE Voice lab equipment at EvoAcademy in preparing you for the exam?
Response: "Evo has certainly taken great care and attention to detail with not only hardware, but the environment that it has been set it, absolutely fantastic. The CCIE Voice pods are really superb, and the emulated PSTN with the normalized dial plans are so key in understanding how the global telephone networks operate. The systems are new, handsets cleaned weekly, and super fast - you cant beat just turning up and starting - no fuss"

How much value did you gain for both exam and on the job preparation?
Response: "I work a lot on the security side of things, but this course made me feel so much more comfortable on the voice front too and has allowed me to take on more Voice work than i previously would have considered and has been an abolute eye opener for exam preparation. It would have taken me months and months to achieve what I have learnt at the Academy!"

How did you find the class environment and facilities during your studies with EvoAcademy?
Response: "This is not your stereotypical course of 9-5, you get maximum access and genuinely maximum support both in and out of class. The actual lecture room is excellently fitted out with spacious desks and lecture facilities - this is something that is unheard of when it comes to IT training but makes the long hours just about bearable.

On what grounds would you recommend the EvoAcademy CCIE Voice Bootcamp to a friend?
Response: "The actual content is brilliant, the value for money is unmatched and the team do everything they can to ensure you complete the requirements and learning process (even if you think you cant!).
