From CCNA Voice to CCIE Voice in One Year – A Detailed Study Plan – REVISED April 9, 2012

Introduction

I often get questions in class or via email that go something like “I am just beginning my studies for CCNA Voice – do I really need a two year AAP subscription?” or “How can I best utilize INE’s products to attain the CCIE Voice exam”, or simply “Where should I start?”.

This document seeks to provide you with a detailed guideline to using each of the products that compliment INE’s complete Voice training program. This program structure has been designed under the realistic assumption that you may be able to dedicate roughly 4 days a week, with approximately 4 hours a day (16 hours a week) to some form of study (be it watching our lecture and demo-based VoDs, reading Cisco documentation and books found in our Recommended Voice Reading Book List, or practicing on lab equipment), and be able to span a total duration of roughly 55 weeks from the start of studying for your CCNA Voice exam, and progressing through the CCNP Voice exam, and finally onto being ready to sit for your first CCIE Voice Lab exam attempt. This works out to just around one year of studying, with around 4 weeks off. This could (and probably will) vary, depending on your schedule, as you will undoubtedly need to custom tailor this program a bit to your life. All-in-all, you are going to spend almost 900 hours. I realize that this is a very committed study schedule, and I also wholeheartedly realize the sacrifice involved to commit fully to such an undertaking, however know now that these are hours that you, later in life, will look back on and attribute to some of the most beneficial that you have ever spent in your professional career. So buckle-up, and prepare yourself for the ride.

Note: It is assumed that before beginning this regiment, that the candidate has already studied for and obtained the necessary CCNA (Routing and Switching) exam. If you have not yet completed this Cisco-prerequisite exam yet, we strongly recommend that you take our CCNA Associate Course – 640-802 first, and pass that required exam.

Products Used in Study Plan

Before we start by referencing how to use the structured program, we will start by listing all of the products included, as well as links to those products on our site. We’ll reference these products as we progress through the guide, and we recommend you clicking on each of the product names below see samples of each, so that you may get to know them and their layout a bit better for a more thorough understanding how and where they fit into this program as you continue reading this guide.

Detailed Structured Approach

Phase 1 – CCNA Voice :: Weeks 1 – 2 (32 hours)

Here in the first 2 week phase you will develop the basic skills and concepts that will stay with you for the rest of your Voice studies. It is very important that you take copious notes while you watch these videos, and review them often. By completion of this phase, you should be ready to take and pass your CCNA Voice exam.

We break the CCNA Voice Videos down into halves
Week 01 :: Watch 1st half of CCNA Voice videos and take notes
Week 02 :: Watch 2nd half of CCNA Voice videos and take notes, review notes and Bookmarks*, and take CCNA Voice exam
Phase 2 – CCNP Voice :: Weeks 3 – 10 (128 hours)

In this next 8 week phase you will upgrade your skills quite a bit more, focusing intensely on the technologies you were introduced to during the CCNA Voice study phase, to get the thorough understanding you will need to take and pass each of the five CCNP Voice exams. This phase will begin to solidify a strong technical acumen which is extremely important for the rest of your CCIE Voice studies. All of the lessons in this phase will be repeated. This is by design and completely necessary to fully comprehending these concepts at a true professional level. Also, while the CCNP Voice exams are not practical, hands-on lab-based exams, they do have some simulations in them that have to be solved by the candidate. That, along with the fact that we believe firmly that you learn best by doing, and have therefore included a number of hours set aside for you to simply experiment in any fashion you choose using either lab hardware of your own or else that which you rent from us. It is still very important that you take copious notes while you watch these videos as well as while you spend practice time on lab equipment, and again – review them often. By completion of this phase, you should be ready to take and pass all 5 of your CCNP Voice exams.

We begin by breaking down the CCNP Voice Videos down into thirds
Week 03 :: Watch 1st third of CCNP Voice videos and take notes
Week 04 :: Watch 2nd third of CCNP Voice videos and take notes
Week 05 :: Watch final third of CCNP Voice videos and take notes
We follow that up by breaking down the CCNP Videos down into fifths, and mixing in lab practice, along with exam taking
Week 06 :: Watch 1st fifth of CCNP Voice videos and take notes while practicing on lab equipment what you have learned here, and take the CVOICE exam
Week 07 :: Watch 2nd fifth of CCNP Voice videos and take notes while practicing on lab equipment what you have learned here, and take the CIPT1 exam
Week 08 :: Watch 3rd fifth of CCNP Voice videos and take notes while practicing on lab equipment what you have learned here, and take the CIPT2 exam
Week 09 :: Watch 4th fifth of CCNP Voice videos and take notes while practicing on lab equipment what you have learned here, and take the CAPPS exam
Week 10 :: Watch final fifth of CCNP Voice videos and review notes and Bookmarks* while practicing on lab equipment what you have learned here, and take the TVOICE exam

Take a single week of rest, possibly two, but no more, as you are already primed to move directly into CCIE Voice studies.

Phase 3 – CCIE Voice:: Weeks 12 – 55 (704 hours)

This 44 week phase is where you will obviously spend the bulk of your time practicing what you’ve learned over the past 10 weeks – over and over and over and over and over and over and over again – on lab gear. And that’s no joke, either. If you thought it was tedious to read that word “over” repeated 7 times, just wait until you begin actually repeating what you’ve done more than that many times. And if you’re one of those who didn’t read that whole thing, and skipped to the end of it, maybe you need to re-think whether you’re ready to commit to this undertaking of studying for this certification. Now while whether you actually read all seve ‘overs’ or not doesn’t necessarily determine your readiness or ability to commit to such a repetitious regiment of study, I do believe that it demonstrates a point – namely that this phase is going to test your resolve. You will be repeating the same or similar tasks over and over in order to build both accuracy and speed — finger ‘muscle memory’, really — things that will be absolutely crucial to being able to take and pass the CCIE Voice lab exam. We recommend that even if we don’t specifically list a given video or lab to be repeated in the syllabus, but you find yourself lacking a thorough and complete understanding in any single topic, that you self-police and choose to go back and re-watch that technology section in any of the video-based lecture-and-demo products, along with reading Cisco documentation on the topic, to gain proficiency before moving on. At the end of this phase, you will be ready to sit for your first attempt at the CCIE Voice lab exam at a Cisco facility.

We begin by working with the Deep Dive video series, and accompanying Deep Dive Technology-Focused Workbook (Volume I)
Week 12 – Watch and Lab: Workbook Volume I :: Module 1 :: Network Infrastructure and QoS
Week 13 – Watch and Lab: Workbook Volume I :: Module 2 & 3 :: CUOS & CLI and CUCM System & Phone Basics
Week 14 – Watch and Lab: Workbook Volume I :: Module 4 & 5 :: Users & LDAP and Phone & Calling Features
Week 15 – Watch and Lab: Workbook Volume I :: Module 6 :: Media Resources
Week 16 – Watch and Lab: Workbook Volume I :: Module 7 :: Gateways and Trunks
Week 17 – Watch and Lab: Workbook Volume I :: Module 8 :: Gatekeeper
Week 18 – Watch and Lab: Workbook Volume I :: Module 9 :: Dial Plan Part I (Basics)
Week 19 – Watch and Lab: Workbook Volume I :: Module 10 :: Dial Plan Part II (Globalization, Localization)
Week 20 – Watch and Lab: Workbook Volume I :: Module 11 :: Dial Plan Part III (More Practice)
Week 21 – Watch and Lab: Workbook Volume I :: Module 12 :: Dial Plan Part IV (CUBE)
Week 22 – Watch and Lab: Workbook Volume I :: Module 13 & 14 :: Unified, Device & Extension Mobility
Week 23 – Watch and Lab: Workbook Volume I :: Module 15 :: CUCM Express (CME) System and Phone Basics
Week 24 – Watch and Lab: Workbook Volume I :: Module 16 & 17 :: CME Dialplans, Class of Restrictions, & Media Resources and CME Advanced Call Features
Week 25 – Watch and Lab: Workbook Volume I :: Module 18 :: CME Call Coverage and CME-as-SRST
Week 26 – Watch and Lab: Workbook Volume I :: Module 19 :: Unified Contact Center Express & Scripting
Week 27 – Watch and Lab: Workbook Volume I :: Module 20 :: Unity Connection Mailboxes & AA Trees
Week 28 – Watch and Lab: Workbook Volume I :: Module 21 :: CUCM Presence & CUPS with CUPC & IPPM

Take a single week of rest, possibly two, but no more.

We follow that up with watching the Advanced Technologies Class (ATC) videos, broken up into fourths
Week 29 :: Watch 1st fourth of CCIE Voice ATC videos and take notes
Week 30 :: Watch 2nd fourth of CCIE Voice ATC videos and take notes
Week 31 :: Watch 3rd fourth of CCIE Voice ATC videos and take notes
Week 32 :: Watch final fourth of CCIE Voice ATC videos and take and review notes and Bookmarks*
Next it’s time to move on to practicing heavily with Mock Labs! For this phase we will utilize the Mock Lab Workbook (Volume II)
This is also the perfect time to go ahead and schedule your CCIE Voice Lab Exam. This is to set a hard deadline for yourself, and to push you towards that goal. Schedule it for week 55.
Week 33 – Labs: Workbook Volume II :: Lab 1 (repeat this lab during the week)
Week 34 – Labs: Workbook Volume II :: Lab 2 (repeat this lab during the week)
Week 35 – Labs: Workbook Volume II :: Lab 3 (repeat this lab during the week)
Week 36 – Labs: Workbook Volume II :: Lab 4 (repeat this lab during the week)
Week 37 – Labs: Workbook Volume II :: Lab 5 (repeat this lab during the week)
Week 38 – Labs: Workbook Volume II :: Lab 6 (repeat this lab during the week)

Take a single week of rest, possibly two, but no more.

Now you should be ready to attend a 10 Day CCIE Voice Bootcamp. We highly encourage the live classes, however if you cannot manage one, then substitute for the recorded version of Week 1
Week 39 – Watch: Voice 5-Day Bootcamp (VoD – It should be noted the format of this live class is completely different than that of the 10-Day Live class to follow)
Week 40 & 41 – Attend: CCIE Voice 10-Day Bootcamp (Live Class)
Now it is time to go back home, and begin practicing harder on the labs you’ve already been through, but with the newfound knowledege of your recently-discovered weak areas.
Week 42 – Labs: Workbook Volume II :: Lab 5 (repeat this lab during the week)
Week 43 – Labs: Workbook Volume II :: Lab 4 (repeat this lab during the week)
Week 44 – Labs: Workbook Volume II :: Lab 3 (repeat this lab during the week)
Week 45 – Labs: Workbook Volume II :: Lab 2 (repeat this lab during the week)
Week 46 – Labs: Workbook Volume II :: Lab 5 (repeat this lab during the week)
Week 47 – Labs: Workbook Volume II :: Lab 1 (repeat this lab during the week)
Week 48 – Labs: Workbook Volume II :: Lab 3 (repeat this lab during the week)
Week 49 – Labs: Workbook Volume II :: Lab 4 (repeat this lab during the week)
Week 50 – Labs: Workbook Volume II :: Lab 5 (repeat this lab during the week)
Week 51 – Labs: Workbook Volume II :: Lab 3 (repeat this lab during the week)
Week 52 – Labs: Workbook Volume II :: Lab 6 (repeat this lab during the week)

Take a single week of rest.

Now it is time to asses where you are at using our CCIE Voice Remotely Graded Mock Lab Assesment, and if necessary, adjust any ways of thinking about and interpreting task wording if need be.
Week 53 – Assess: CCIE Voice Remotely Graded Lab Assesment 1 (then follow up with practice in missed areas)
Week 54 – Assess: CCIE Voice Remotely Graded Lab Assesment 2 (then follow up with practice in missed areas)
Finally it is time to see what you are made of!
Week 55 – Take your first CCIE Voice Lab Attempt

AWESOME o/

[roboxtz]

Que fácil,manda uma mais difícil!heheheh

[Edson]

Ah, só com dedicação total neh.
Acho que 4 dias por semana, 4 horas por dia não é suficiente, ou eu não sei focar os meu tempo de estudos 😛

Com a correria que tenho no dia-a-dia, acho quase impossível, rsrs

[Moonspell]

N tive paciencia nem pra ler o texto, qto mais tirar um CCIE Voice em um ano.

[Edson]

Hum, achei bacana a citação

” So buckle-up, and prepare yourself for the ride.”

[Fabio]

@Moonspell bem que poderia ter 1 botão de curtir em seu comentário pois fiz a mesma coisa…rsrsrs

[Fernando Avelino]

Sendo um ultra nerd com muito tempo livre e um megalab caseiro, tipo Scot Morris eu acredito hehehe.

O Comentário do Monspell foi épico. uahuahauhau

[roboxtz]

Tendo um lab caseiro da até ânimo,mas sem….

[Flyner Portugal]

lab caseiro é igual cabeça de bacalhau

[ferrugem]

16 horas por dia, todos os dias da semana??? Em um ano seriam 5680 horas!!!  Fora a quantidade de horas de estudos, ainda tem a grana necessária para cumprir todo esse cronograma.

Mesmo com tudo isso, não deixa de ser um excelente plano! Quando traçamos uma meta, com um plano bem estruturado, tende a ser mais fácil atingir os objetivos!

No mais, boa sorte aí pra quem for tentar!!! rsrs

Valeu por compartilhar Flyner!

Abs,

Felipe Ferrugem!

"Juntos somos ainda melhores!!!"

[Flyner Portugal]

uma correção ferrugem:
são 4 horas por dia, 4 dias por semana. 16 horas no total.

[davidjarrao]

4 hours a day (16 hours a week)
16 horas por dia nao ia dar tempo nem de tomar banho, fazer barba etc, ia ficar igual o Tom Hanks em naufrago e CCIE na mao.

[Sérgio F.S]

KKKKK, Igual ao Tom Hanks foi de mais. Mais ainda não ter paciência nem para ler o texto, quanto mais tirar um CCIE Voice em um ano. Heheeh, vocês são de mais.

Eu particularmente achei 16 horas por semana pouco. A menos que o cara já tenha um bom conhecimento e experiência com Cisco Unified Communications. Porque aprender mais de 50% do conteúdo sozinho não é fácil.

[pablod]

“N tive paciencia nem pra ler o texto, qto mais tirar um CCIE Voice em um ano.”

Incrivelmente verdadeiro 😀

[drfokker]

Moonspell, esse teu comentario deveria entrar para os anais do blog 😛

[rgrsilva]

Ah, o cara tem que ter muiiiiita vivência nessa parafernalha toda!

Nossa, fico imaginando um Troubleshooting no lab CCIE Voice. Quem já deu um #debug voice ccapi inout e outros debugs em CUCM / CUCME sabe do que estou falando!

Outro dia conversando com um Eng. (TAC), tentamos descobrir como ele analisava aquela caralhada de traces do CUCM.

– E ae, abre o jogo! Qual o software que vocês utilizam?
– Conhece o Notepad++?

TENSO!

[ ]’s

[lbrambilla]

Notepad++, chorei de rir aqui. E o comentário do Moonspell também, haja paciência né. LOL

[jonas]

UP –> “N tive paciencia nem pra ler o texto, qto mais tirar um CCIE Voice em um ano.”

[Bruno Rangel]

Nossa !!!
Logicamente isso não garante que alguem passe nos exames descritos …. Mas é um bom track …
Fora o pesado investimento:
CCNA Voice (Video on Demand) – $199/month
CCNP Voice (Video on Demand) – $199/month
CCIE Voice Deep Dive Series – $399.00
CCIE Voice Deep Dive Workbook- $598.00 Value
CCIE Voice Advanced Technologies Class (Video on Demand) – 299.00
CCIE Voice 5-Day Bootcamp (VoD – very different format than 10-Day Live Class) – 159/month
CCIE Voice Mock Lab Workbook – $598.00 Value
CCIE Voice 10-Day Live Bootcamp (Live Class) – $3,990.00
CCIE Voice Mock Labs Assesment (Remotely Graded Mock Lab) – $299.00

Portanto tem que desembolsar uma boa grana – 6740 doletas

[Bruno Rangel]

Acredito que a experiencia conta muito sim …
Boas horas analizando Debugs …

E se perder no Notepad++ procurando traces e separando informações é terrivel …
