Shawn Jackman (Jack) CWNE#54 is a personal friend and has been a mentor to me for many years. I've had the pleasure and opportunity to work with Jack for 4 years. Jack is a great teacher who takes complex 802.11 standards and breaks them down so almost anyone can understand the concept at hand. I'm excited for you brother. Great job and job well done! Put another notch in the belt!

Wednesday, July 27, 2011 at 10:13AM An optional beta version of the new CCIE Wireless v2.0 written exam will be available in mid-September 2011 at a discounted price of $50 USD.
Tuesday, July 12, 2011 at 11:09AM During the session I used twitter for my note taking, so if you’re following me then you may have noticed an abundance of tweets on Sunday with the #CCIEW and #CL11 hash tags. The session was very focused on most lab topics and lab v2 changes, expected on Nov 18th of this year.
What made this event unique is the fact that the presenters have either wrote or participated in lab development content. You weren’t getting second hand information from someone else. There were MANY notable items and I will only share a few here. Again, I would recommend stopping by Blake’s and Jason’s blogs.
“ 95% of the LAB is based around best practices ”
“ 45 CCIE Wireless world wide. 60% of which are Cisco employees ”
“ 25 of the 45 CCIEs are in the US”
“ The first female CCIE W passed this week, again Cisco employee ”
“ CCNA level R/S will not be enough to pass the wired side tasks of the CCIE W ”
“ The lab can be completed in 5 -6 hours “
“ Average 3 attempts to pass the exam “
Each person received a demo lab book which is an “example” of a mock up lab. When asked if we could share this document, although its just an “example” lab we were given the “look”.
The presenters also shared how the lab is graded. This was a good eye opener for most of us in the class. As the CCIE W is manually graded it was interesting to see how it was done. In short, the example lab was 22 pages with about 40 pts. The solution guide that the proctor uses in this example was 68 pages. The guide was color coded. Yellow represented what the config on the lab should represent exactly. While blue was variable.
In closing. It was worth the extra $1,000 bucks to sit this class. The presenters all did a great job.
