This training class will utilize the CCDE Practice Exams I have developed and refined over the last several years, as well as a set of case studies and technology-specific materials that are exclusive to my live training. I have delivered this training many times over the last seven years, always with excellent student feedback. Below is the daily itinerary:

Frequently Asked Questions

Has this training helped other CCDEs pass the Practical exam? And who is Jeremy Filliben?

I passed the CCDE Practical Exam in February 2009 (CCDE #20090003), and began developing training materials in 2010. I am proud to announce I have been able to assist well over 100 successful CCDEs during their preparation for the practical exam. It has been said that the CCDE program is a test of experience, rather than a test of knowledge. Successful candidates must have extensive exposure to networking technologies and significant experience designing complex networks. The purpose of this class is two-fold. First, it will expose candidates to unfamiliar network designs and technologies. We will cover all five CCDE content areas and many common network designs. Second, it will describe the types of questions candidates face on the CCDE practical exam and assist them in understanding how to approach this test. My goal is to remove the uncertainty that first time CCDE candidates face prior to taking the exam, and to clear up any confusion that previous candidates have after taking the exam.

What are the prerequisites?

I expect most participants to have passed the CCDE Written exam (352-001), and I highly recommend that everyone read the following books from the CCDE Practical Reading List:

• Optimal Routing Design
• Definitive MPLS Network Designs 
• BGP Design and Implementation
• End-to-End QoS Network Design

I anticipate that most class participants will be taking the CCDE Practical Exam on May 30th, but that is not a requirement. Previous participants have chosen to take my training several months in advance of their practical exam date to decide how prepared they are for the attempt. They later attend (at no additional charge) my online review sessions to refresh their knowledge of the exam and learn of any changes to the CCDE program.

Where will the class be held?

Our class will be held in Milan, Italy. The training location is being determined over the next sixty days. If you have any suggestions, please let me know!

Do you offer private CCDE classes?

If your organization would like a private CCDE class, please contact me via email. I have limited availability to offer additional training, but we may be able to find a suitable date to meet your needs.

Can I attend the class remotely?

This class is not currently open to remote attendees. I am working with the venue to determine if this will be possible.

Do I have access to additional resources after the class?

Of course! All students who attend my bootcamp class will have unlimited access to all of my online resources until they pass the CCDE Practical exam. I provide quarterly online review sessions and I offer additional practice exams at no charge to my students. If you would like to attend the bootcamp class again, you may do so for a nominal materials fee of $299 USD.
