About Heinz Ulm



I'm a  CCIE-"dinosaurus".
I passed the lab on first attempt in August 1995. Cisco started counting the CCIE numbers beginning with 1024. My CCIE number is 1561. So I was among the first 600 CCIEs worldwide at that time. At the time of my exam passing there were about 80 CCIEs in Europe. Most of the CCIEs were in US because the program started there. Since then I recertified a couple times. My actual recertification is good until June 2009. The current CCIE numbers are in the 25000s .

According to a info from the CCIE Program Manager I am one of only 300 "10-years-CCIE" in the entire world !


Countries I have travelled to (now with many photos)

I have trained people from various companies and organizations, as well as at Cisco Paris, Cisco London and Cisco TAC Brussels (where I have done "new-hire"-, CRIC, CID, and SEDW - System Engineers Design Workshop - classes).

See an (uncomplete)list of IT-staff I have conducted trainings for

Wanna see my CCIE plaque ?

Course comments from students and partners

My bootcamp attendees were coming from these countries.


Since I'm conducting my CCIE Preparation Workshops (now called CCIE Bootcamp) I have trained and prepared  over 600 CCIEs for the exam, coming from many countries and companies , including Cisco.

" My" CCIEs are spread around the world

" WOW - I thought – I really passed it ! What a wonderful feeling after the endless hours of studying before the exam. I cannot explain how good this feels. But those of you who have done the exam will know what I mean. I think I would not have passed it on the 1st attempt without the weeks of full-time preparation right before the exam. Special thanks to Heinz Ulm (aka Drill-Heinz) and Heiko Groeger, instructors at the famous Heinz Ulm Bootcamp for the challenging mock labs, and all the good advice. MOCK H was EVIL !! "
