CCIE Wireless V2.0 Lab Bootcamp

CCIE Wireless Lab Bootcamp (CCIEWL) v2.0 is a five-day day instructor-led course, designed to help you prepare for the CCIE wireless certification, an expert-level certification specializing in the wireless field. The goal of the course is to provide you with information and practice activities to prepare them to help design, install, configure, monitor and conduct advanced troubleshooting tasks for a Cisco wireless LAN (WLAN) in small, medium and large size enterprise installations.

This intensive bootcamp is designed to give you a firm knowledge and lab training practice needed to successfully pass the CCIE Wireless lab exam. This class is heavily focused on lab training and practice. You will work on an independent rack offering all the features that may need to be configured in the real lab exam. The course is 90% practice based, offering summaries of the main points of the technology to master, with extended exercises and lab scenarios to develop your skills and speed.

The primary audience for this course is as follows:

• Network engineers
