The survey was rather interesting. They also mentioned groupstudy and
ccbootcamp! :)
Personally, I think it should stay a 2-day lab and they should keep it just
the way it is.
Here's the questions they asked (compressed to save space):
Survey Start
------------
1. What do you value most about the CCIE process?
2. Is there something we could do to increase the program's value to you?
If so, what?
3. Do you feel Cisco could improve the certification process?
If yes, what?
4. What is the one thing that the CCIE program needs?
5. When you achieved your CCIE certification, you were awarded a plaque. Is
this plaque important to you?
6. Would receiving only the paper certificate mean the same thing to you?
Why or why not?
7. Would you support a decision to change the CCIE lab exam duration to one
day if it was as difficult or more difficult than the present two day lab
exam?
Why or why not?
8. Which of these methods would have been acceptable to you as a candidate
during your lab exam?
Please place an 'X' in front of each method that you find believe would have
been acceptable.
__a. Proctor and equipment on site with you
__b. Proctor located remotely, able to answer questions on-line/through
web-cam
__c. Several proctors located remotely, and any one of them could answer
questions
__d. Equipment located remotely
If any of these possibilities would not have been acceptable to you, please
explain why.
9. What is your impression of the current difficulty level for CCIE exams?
Please place an 'X' in front of just one option.
__a. Too difficult
__b. Just right
__c. Not difficult enough
10. What do you think of web sites such as groupstudy and ccbootcamp?
11. While you were preparing for your CCIE certification, what
resource/method of study did you find most useful?
12. Have you ever used an on-line practice lab for your CCIE lab exam
preparations?
13. Do you feel that there is enough CCIE level Cisco Press literature to
prepare candidates for the CCIE exam and recertification exams?
If no, what do you believe are the weak areas?
14. Do you currently participate in on-line technical communities?
If yes, what motivates you to contribute your time and knowledge to these
communities?
