Mitch, What Wayne said is an excellent pointer. Our SLA for R&S is a *proven* methodology for preparation. We'll wait for Joe to write the document and it will surely be great. In the meantime, don't forget that you have one extra step to take before you tackle the lab itself. You need to pass the written exam first!
The good thing these days is that Written and Lab blueprints actually MATCH! That means... you can use our products as a part of the preparation. Since you have BLS - focus on our VoD and AoD, combined with CiscoPress books. I would focus passing your written ASAP, since there is just a little bit more to add on top of your fresh CCNP knowledge. If you have time/will/money, you may want to consider taking additional CCIP exams as a part of your prep for Written and Lab. In any case - we are here to help you out every step on your journey! Just ask :-) For those who haven't seen it, here are couple of useful links to get familiar with our BLS and SLA: Structured Learning Approach: http://www.ipexpert.com/Cisco/CCIE/Routing-and-Switching/SLA-RS Blended Learning Solution: http://www.ipexpert.com/Cisco/CCIE/Routing-and-Switching/Self-Study-Bundle Blended Learning Solution Demo: http://www.ipexpert.com/blsdemo/v4/rs/ BLS videos by our Joe Astorino: http://www.youtube.com?v=KcS9M90zvO4 and http://www.youtube.com?v=J4AZQiaLoak BLS videos by our Brandon Carroll: http://www.youtube.com?v=AI05eYTp7yk and http://www.youtube.com?v=i7U5B7hhtV8 -- Marko Milivojevic - CCIE #18427 Senior Technical Instructor - IPexpert YES!
