Bradley Grainger, CCIE #28354

First off I'd like to thank my family and friends for their support during the last 18 months of my life. The road leading to the CCIE certification has been very long but rewarding. INE material played an important role in my preparation for the CCIE Lab. I constantly utilized vol 1 to strengthen weak areas. I completed all labs in vol 2two or three times. The vol 2 labs helped identify weak areas, and also helped set a pace for the real exam. Vol 4 was also essential in preparing for the troubleshooting section of the exam. On March 9th, 2011 in San Jose, CA I sat down to attempt the lab for the third and final time. With the grace of God, countless hours of hard work, and a little bit of luck I passed the CCIE Lab. I can still remember telling my son "We did it!", as he has been motivation and strength through all of the blood, sweat, and tears. Thank you INE, familiy, and friends!
