Is there any evidence to support this possibility? The reason I ask is that the proctors have a very important role in the lab exam as it sits today, and I don't see how that role could be diminished. Hmmm...as a CCIE, if there were Sylvan remote lab testing, and lab proctors had to be CCIE's, that would fill a the gap in the CCIE unemployment...interesting tactic... But I doubt it will ever happen. Too much reputation at stake for Cisco to give up that much control over that coveted certification. -e- ----- Original Message ----- From: Brian Dennis To: Sent: Tuesday, July 17, 2001 6:53 PM Subject: CCIE Lab Remote (was RE: Current Wait time on the lab) [7:12746] > Greg, > It won't matter if there isn't a waiting list if the CCIE certification has > lost it's value.
