By working in tandem and with a broader range of capabilities, engineers can make stronger, more efficient networks.

All of their materials are very thorough. I listened to their lectures while driving to and from work and read a lot of their blogs for more in-depth explanations on various topics. I can honestly say that the INE material left me well prepared for the lab exam.
Amit Sen, CCIE #59458
I purchased an INE All Access Pass and used it to take my knowledge from that of a CCNP to a CCIE. The INE labs and workbooks were great. There's no way I could've learned all the technologies without them.
