Brian Morgan: Experienced CCIE Offers Advice for Newbies
Brian Morgan took the CCIE lab back when it was a two-day exam. He acknowledges that CCIEs are held to a higher standard that comes with some personal pressure.
"Half the battle of the test is psychological. You hear horror stories that the proctors want you to fail, but that's a myth. They are there to help." - Brian Morgan
Brian Morgan, director of technology for Paranet Solutions, a professional services provider in Plano, Texas, says that CCIEs are the biggest small group in the world. "The people who know what they are doing out there, are all in touch. We cross paths frequently. This has remained true even as Cisco has made the CCIE more accessible with the one day test." Brian took the "two-day" exam, something he says people recognize and acknowledge, based on the low number on his CCIE certificate: #4865. "There's an instant recognition and value to having these four letters and numbers after my name that I find very gratifying," he says. He is also one of the very few people to have passed the CCIE Routing and Switching exam on his first try.
The CCIE seemed like a natural progression for me, said Brian. "I had cut my teeth on WAN in the early '90s when I was working for IBM and really liked it. It almost turned into a hobby. After I received my CCSI certification, I needed another challenge and began studying for the CCIE test, passing it on his first try in 1999. Brian is currently preparing for the Service Provider CCIE (formerly known as Communication and Services). "I'm not sure that there is a six figure job waiting for every CCIE, but we are definitely held in a higher regard professionally. This can be rewarding but it also comes with some pressure,"says Brian.
Brian has some very specific advice for prospective CCIE test takers. "Half the battle of the test is psychological. You hear horror stories that the proctors want you to fail but that's a myth. They are there to help. When you arrive take a look at everything; your IP address, your book, the support materials and the Cisco products. And don't be afraid to ask the proctors for clarification if you see that there are several ways to do something. If the proctor can see that you know what you are doing based on your question, they can often point you in the right direction."
Brian also counsels against rushing into scheduling the exam and suggests people take their time and gain the experience they need before preparing specifically for the exam. "The more you've actually done, the better, because the test mimics real-life experiences. The time can also be used to gain contacts in the field who can provide access and "practice time" on equipment you might not have or don't quite understand," he concludes.
