Rene Santiago, CCIE #23293

I came into the telecommunications industry during the summer of 2008. When I first started working, all I heard was how respected is having a CCIE certification and the dedication and focused you needed in order to achieve it. At that moment I put a mission on myself to achieve this certification in 6 months, something that others considered impossible since I had little to no experience. However, I began my journey by achieving the CCNA and CCNP certifications. At this point I started working with the internetwork expert materials and resources. I followed many of the suggestions I heard from other people that have achieved their CCIE certification thanks to internetwork expert and their approach towards all the material. Thanks to internetwork expert and their step-by-step learning curriculum I was able to not be overwhelmed with the amount of material while still being able to prepare for my test. I was studying around 14 hours a day for 3 months straight 7 days a week, all this time was spent using internetwork expert directly or indirectly. For this reason, I think it would've been impossible to complete my mission without internetwork expert and their great resources, materials, services, and staff. Thanks for all your help and for providing people like me the chance to achieve such a great milestone that not only affects me personally but also motivates other people to achieve it.
