Narbik Kocharians and Paul Negron are going to Cairo, Egypt to provide CCIE boot camps this September 7, 2009. For those forward looking network engineers who would like to get the best preparation for passing the CCIE lab this is an important announcement.

In this exclusive venue you will have Narbik presenting his Routing and Switching boot camp while Paul Negron presents the Service Provider boot camp.

Narbik’s special brand of CCIE boot camp training is world renowned as the most effective and comprehensive of its kind. Paul Negron has also made a great name for himself as a boot camp instructor. He has co-authored books on certification instruction and continues to provide world class training to his students. Paul will be joining Micronics and Narbik to provide some of the industry’s best training. The price for these boot camps are already well below the industry standard for CCIE boot camps. The fact that they now contain the Cisco 360 Learning curriculum as well increases the value at these very low prices, but CCIE Flyer readers are being offered an even lower CCIE Flyer only discount. Sign up now and receive the special CCIE Flyer exclusive pricing we have been passing on to our readers.

With the great discounts offered and the low cost of airline travel today why not go to Cairo? The opportunity of a lifetime awaits those who sign up to receive superior preparation for the CCIE Lab in a venue of equally historic significance!

Join Narbik and Paul in the shadow of the pyramids.

How to register
Simply send an email to danconde@ccieflyer.com and we will put you on the list for our big discount. These boot camps will feature not just the great instruction that Narbik has become known for but the latest version of his boot camp and the Cisco 360 Program materials.
When choosing where to go for a boot camp no location on earth can compete with the historic venue offered in the city of the pyramids.

Welcome to the July Issue of the CCIE Flyer
Welcome to the July issue of the CCIE Flyer. I am attempting to express my deepest appreciation to all of the women who I have met who in their lives have decided to make a positive impression on the next generation of women. Take me to this story...

Have whiteboard will travel
I introduced myself to Narbik as Eman's brother, CCIE Flyer Editor/Webmaster, and CCIE 'wannabee'. The first two took some convincing, but when you call yourself a student something happens. Take me to this story...

Eman and Narbik joined forces in an original industry initiative;
as a team they will be providing career advice and planning to go along with the CCIE training. This soup-to-nuts solution will propel a new CCIE’s career to a new plateau. Eman can now negotiate group rates for YOU, Channel Partners, and groups of individuals who want to attend the CCIE boot camps together. With the combined industry knowledge these two possess, Narbik's students will be poised to capitalize on their CCIE investment.

If you have not been informed there are many ways to use your CCIE number. A few of these methods are frowned upon by Cisco and can even cost you that hard earned number. Take me to this story...

When Bloggers Attack or Bloggers Gone Wild, You Pick! 2009
It seems like a rite of passage for Network World to post harassing and untrue content about me each August. Last August I responded with this:

Banned for Life Lots of things can happen in a lifetime. We grow up, fall in love, suffer broken hearts, get an education, find a career, marry, have children, try to find happiness, and then die. From cradle to grave we are presented hourly, daily, weekly, monthly and yearly with vast opportunities that come to us from various sources. We have a chance each and every time to make a decision, a choice and sometimes the choices we make can last a lifetime. Take me to this story...

No Worries Jamaica Mon
Not only does a woman CCIE have brains but she has broken through the glass ceiling. There does not appear to be a salary limit for women who choose the CCIE path, they often receive the highest wages. So any time I meet a CCIE who happens to be a woman I treat her with special respect. Take me to this story...

Network Women To all the women who I have met in the pursuit of resources for the Cisco Channel Partners I must tell you that I have been impressed by each and every one of you. Meeting the future talent that will bring the technological discoveries my generation have not dreamed of yet is an honor. Take me to this story...

Who will build the human network?
“Part of the challenge of getting girls interested in technology is showing them how it is so relevant to their lives and interests," said Jacqueline Wilson, technology coordinator at Padua Academy. “We’re very excited about this endeavor with DSU and The Cisco Networking Academy”!

The March 2009 Interview with CCIE #2349 Barham Zuhdi
Barham, thank you for allowing me to carry your story in the pages of the CCIE Flyer, I was very pleased to have recently adding you to my network. There have been so many changes in the IT World over the past 10 years and I think you have seen many as I have myself. The fact that you are a woman as well as a CCIE makes you a rarity in the IT world. Take me to this story...

The March 2009 Interview with CCIE #2355 Diane Fasnacht
I remember trying to find out if you were the first woman to earn the CCIE and bugging Cisco and others for the information. We were only able to find two before you who earned theirs. But hey, you are the 1329th CCIE but only the third woman and that’s not bad really. Take me to this story...

Sandra Salame
The CCIE Flyer’s Queen of Lebanon
There are CCIEs all over the world and there are places with good numbers of them but no matter where you look the number of Voice CCIEs remain very low. So when looking at the population and then filtering them by gender I was delighted that despite all my hard work M (CCIE Agent Girl Friday) managed to trump me and introduced me to the only woman CCIE Voice in Lebanon! Take me to this story...

Paula Pannuzzo
In her own words...
Paula was born and raised in Venezuela and Portugal, of Italian and Portuguese roots. Lives and works in Jamaica. She aspired little girl to be a Mechanical Engineer her influence for that decision came from her father. Take me to this story...

Eve Tahmincioglu
Are under 30s or over 50s stiffed in this job market?
Right now, young and old job seekers think they’re getting the shaft. Take me to this story...

Terry Slattery
I really enjoyed CiscoLive 2009. The technical breakout sessions I attended were at the level I expected and I learned a lot from them. I particularly enjoyed John Cavanaugh's talk on High Availability network design, which was one of the last sessions of the week. Cisco has worked with a number of companies to design networks that have greater than five-nines uptime. Take me to this story...

A Unique Trip
It’s often that one gets to go on a trip to a place whereby the main focus of that trip is to enjoy sampling the food of that place or see the beautiful girls on the beaches running in skimpy outfits. My article for the CCIE Flyer July edition covers an entirely different trip. Take me to this story...

Here's the State of the CCIE Union.
I just came back from Cisco Live 2009. Had a great time attended some techtorials and breakout technical sessions. Met some awesome people. Lots of energy. Take me to this story...

Thoughts on the Cisco Certified Architect Announcement
