Most training institutes have pre-requisites for attending their CCIE VOICE Bootcamps which is, either to go through their CCIE VOICE Workbook or require at least 2 years of experience, and must complete your CCIE VOICE written exam etc.

At VoiceBootcamp our strategy is different. VoiceBootcamp provides CCIE VOICE Bootcamps training around the globe to people coming from different workgroups and experiences. Because of our flexibility and ability to come to a location closer to them, most students like to take this opportunity to enhance their career, and therefore are not concerned with the writing the CCIE VOICE EXAM immediately after taking the boot camp.
So what is the preparation method for Day 1?
- Commitment to stay up for 12 to 14 hours/day
- Read Cisco SRND www.cisco.com/go/srnd for product information
- Once you register, go through free lectures online for example : http://www.voicebootcamp.com/demo/lab26/ .
- CCIE VOICE written exam is not required as it does not prove anything thanks to TEST KING
- Knowledge of CallManager, GW/GK and Unity/Unity Express/IPCC, Express is required/but not mandatory to take the course.
- Use the 200 hours of free remote access to login to our racks and do some of the basic labs. If you get stuck watch the videos solutions provided before the training
- Again Read SRND
Study Plan
- Follow our CCIE VOICE Study Guide (provided FREE as part of the course)

Attend Day 1
- Ask question if you don’t understand. No question is too basic or stupid. Keep asking until you get it. If the instructor feels that the candidate’s question is affecting the class, he/she will advise students to list all the questions and concerns and at the end of the day instructor will go take them up individually.
- If student gets stuck, Instructor will ensure to walk the student through until they are up to the speed with rest of the class.
- Relax and Enjoy the class.
