Security Bootcamps !

Mr. Phil Baker (a wellknown trainer and
manager from
Comtech, Belgium, (now Netbrain),
a known Cisco Training Partner) wrote:
"I did read through the student evals and those
definitely
are the best scores I've ever seen for the SNAM class (and
many other classes).
You can definitely count on more business if we
have an
opening for an instructor, this was money well spent.
Pity you're not *available*."
A student from my SNA class:
"I wish any instructor would teach like Heinz Ulm"
A swedish student, who had several other cisco
classes in
england,
sweden and france before, wrote:
"The instructor is the best I'll ever had ... His personal experience
meant a lot to me .."
A belgium student wrote:
"The instructor shared many experiences with the
class where
those
tips and experience are very hard to find in books
or
manuals...."
Mr. Sherif Enayet, Trainingmanager NCR Saudi Arabia
wrote:

The engineer I worked with, Matt Winnett, speaks very highly of you"
German comments:
"...und nochmal DANKE für den wirklich "tollen" Kurs...."
"...Ihr Unterricht war verdammt gut...."
"Wer beim Heinz Ulm‘schen
Troubleshooting sich alle
Schweinereien merkt und diese zu Hause
noch ein paar mal übt, der
übersteht auch das
CCIE-Troubleshooting PROBLEMLOS!.
(23 Punkte für mich)" Christoph K., Munich
quick translation of the above statement:
"who memorizes all the evil tricks built in by Heinz Ulm and does some
additional practicing back
"home won't have any problems surviving
the troubleshooting. I got 23 points."
Comments from/about my CCIE bootcamps :
"Heinz runs a great class. The facilities were good"
"I was thrilled with the class and will recommend it to anyone"
"Once again it was really great being in
your class, and
very enjoyable even
under stress."
"bestanden, erledigt und abgehakt !!! Besten Dank
erst mal
für die gute
Vorbereitung."
"Vielen Dank für Deine
Unterstützung, ohne die es
nie beim ersten Mal
geklappt hätte".
Translation: "Thanks for
your support, without it I wouldn't
have passed on first attempt."
"Die Prüfung habe ich mit 89 Punkten
bestanden. D a n k e
!"
Translation: "I passed the exam with 89 points. Thanks."
"It was really a great time in Your
Bootcamp in Augsburg.
I have learned very much. The exercises were
excellent and we
have got many
valuable information. I will recommend Your
training to all my
friends."
"I am very happy to write that I feel 10 times more
confidence
to go for the
CCIE LAB after attending your three week rigorous/tough/evil training."
"I have highly benefited via this three
weeks long drill
of router configurations. I
especially like the last week of troubleshooting.
This is the
most common
less practised area in the LAB preparation for all
the
candidates. That was
the peak point of your tricks. Now I know that 'I
don't know
enough'."
"I will definitely encourage people to go and
attain your
training as a good
pre LAB training like your boot camp is quite essential to pass the CCIE
LAB."
"I was very pleased with the class, it is
an excellent tool
to polish your
CCIE level skills to prepare for the test. In all
fairness to
yourself,
you need to have a good command of the IOS, which
should be
covered in
Heinz's recommendation for CCNP or higher
certification. If you
have the
basic skill set necessary, it is an excellent class
to hone
your skills to
the point where the lab should not be a problem. I
sincerely
feel that it
saved me 6-8 months of preparation time on my own.
Also, the
opportunity
to work with a number of people with the same goal
is valuable
in itself.
I would definitely recommend it to anyone that is
on the path
to CCIE!!"
"I definitely feel that it was money/time well invested."
"Aber ich habe es geschafft!!!!!!!!
Ohne Deine Unterstützung wäre es
für mich nicht
möglich
gewesen die Prüfung gleich beim ersten Mal
zu bestehen."
Translation: "I made it !!!! Without your support it would not have
been possible
to pass on my first attempt."
"Nochmals vielen Dank für Deine super Unterstützung."
Translation: "Again many thanks for your super support"
"When in Heinz' Bootcamp and he was really picky on
details I
sometimes thought
he is exaggerating just to make us frightened. He is actually not."
"Ich habe im 1. Versuch bestanden. Ich
möchte mich
hiermit nochmal recht herzlich
bei Dir bedanken für das sehr gute
Bootcamp, ohne dies
hätte ich es nicht geschafft,
insbesondere das Troubleshooting Training hat mir
sehr geholfen"
Translation: "I passed on first attempt. I'd like to thank you again
for your very good
bootcamp, without it I would not have made it,
especially the
troubleshooting training
was very helpful."
"....But, just speaking for me, without the
experiences from
the bootcamp I'd never made it"
"excellent - motivating - helpful"
"..look at the CCIE number below .. you know who I thank for that :-)"
"Thank you again for all your guidance.
Your class was
by far the best experience that I
have ever had for learning and developing
networking skills in
a Cisco environment."
"..outstanding ..."
"I really wanted to express my gratitude
to you for the
bootcamp.
Your methodology and experience go together to make
a class
that is truly a learning experience!"
"Thank you again for your awesom bootcamp as well
as being "THE
EVIL BASTARD"-playing the proctor role
throughout the bootcamp. You really have prepared me well technically
and most important of
all "emotionally" for the exam. Like I mentioned earlier, I never would
have pass without
the troubleshooting week in your bootcamp."
"You did an execellent job of not only
preparing us
technically but most
importantly "EMOTIONALLY."
"Thanks to your 3rd week of troubleshooing labs in
your
bootcamp,
I was able to overcome all the issues presented to me"
"Ich möchte mich bei Dir
bedanken. Ohne Dein Bootcamp
hätte ich das Ganze nicht bestanden!"
Translation:"I want to thank you. Without your bootcamp I wouldn't have
passed!"
"90 Punkte ! Vielen Dank nochmal für Deine
Hilfe !
Translation: "90 points ! Many thanks again for your help !
"Danke Heinz für die drei Wochen und ich habe ab jetzt wieder ein richtiges
Familienleben. Von den 11 Cisco Mitarbeitern hat es keiner geschafft, nur ich als externer."
Translation: "Thanks, Heinz, for the 3 weeks. I now have a real family life again. From the
11 cisco employees no-one passed. Just me as only external one."
"Thanks guru"
"I would like to thank u for being a strict, it change me a lot".
"since I was in your CCIE Boot Camp, my Cisco knowledge has greatly improved."
"und noch mal DANKE für dieses << ERLEBNIS >>. Das war es wirklich !
weiterhin so einen tollen Erfolg mit dem Bootcamp für 2002.
Thanks again for this tremendous experience ! Wishing you great success for 2002 too"
"I am excited, happy, pleased, relieved, and grateful to be able to announce
that I am now the 86..th CCIE in the world. Thank you Heinz for the great
bootcamp and all the follow-ups."
"Ich möchte mich nochmal für dein CCIE-Lab letztes Jahr in Augsburg bedanken.
Es hat nicht nur Spass gemacht und war ein grossartiges Lern-Erlebnis,
sondern hat es mir auch möglich gemacht in Brüssel zu bestehen."
Translation: "I would like to thank you again for your bootcamp in Augsburg last year.
Not only was it fun and a great learning-experience, but it made passing the lab in
brussels possible."
"I'm CCIE# 87xx. Thanks for all your help and support. Especially all those times in the
bootcamp where you had to debug through my bad configs. I still remember when you had
to just turn on split horizon on the frame interface for IGRP and everything worked,
after I have been trying to fix the redistribution problem for hours. "Suboptimal!!":-)
"Es waren drei verdammt harte und anstrengende Wochen, aber ich habe, denke
ich, in keinen drei Wochen meines doch recht lernintensiven Lebens jemals so
viel und wertvolles wie bei Dir gelernt. Dafür möchte ich Dir in aller Form
danken."
"This were three damn hard and exhausting weeks, but I think that I have never learned
so much and valuable in my learning-intense life before. Thanks a lot for that."
"An Dich auf jedem Fall nochmal ein
großes
DANKESCHÖN, dein Bootcamp war eine echte Bereicherung,
was also sagen will ich hab selten etwas erlebt an das ich mich so gern
zurückerinnere ...
Ich werde Dich und das Bootcamp weiterempfehlen.."
"To you again a big THANK YOU, your bootcamp was a
real
enrichment. I have rarely experienced
something to which I like to remember so well. I
will recommend you and your bootcamp further.."
"I want to thank you for some good 3 weeks of studying! I really had a
good time, even if it was long days, and my head became quite heavy
sometimes in the evenings - I really think I learned a lot and had a
good time!! With just a long week till my lab in Brussels I hope to keep
up with what I started down in Augsburg, to be as fit as possible on
next week. No matter what happens on the lab, I'm very certain of one
thing, I would never have been able to pass in the first attempt without
your bootcamp!! Of course I hope to pass, but I realize that things can
come up on the first attempt that will distract me and prohibit me from
staying calm.... but I really feel much more relaxed (at least now....)
after being in the bootcamp, and more ready for the challenges that will
come in the lab.
"Heinz: Fantastic class!!!!!!!!!"
"Your Bootcamp made all the difference - I can say for sure that I
woudn't have passed the first time without it. In addition it
strengthend my belief that the CCIE certification is really only the
beginning - there is much, much, much more still to learn! CCIE 96xx"
"I am very pleased to let you know that I have passed. I GOT THE NUMBER!!!!!!
CCIE #97xx !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am really glad that after a lot of studying and practicing, I managed to
pass.
I would really like to thank you very much. I think that your guidance
during the training and all the tips and tricks that you taught us, made the
difference and help me pass at my first attempt.
I wish good luck to all of the guys from the Bootcamp.
We were a very good bootcamp team and the fact that everybody helped each
other was extremely valuable."
"I want to thank you all for the great time in germany. And of course
thousand thanks to Heinz. Greetings from a HU-CCIE in Austria"
"The feeling to be treated more as a guest not just as a student was a great
experience. I appreciated a lot."
"Gracias por todo"
"Last I want to thank HEINZ for keeping our EYES open and
streching the need to be precise and
clear in our configs and to read carefully the tasks."-
"I have the pleasure to inform you that I managed to pass the CCIE R&S Lab
exam at my very first try.
I believe that it would not be possible without Your collaborative spirit
and support.
Special thanks, I would like to send to Heinz for his kindness, dedication
and supportiveness.
I wish I knew the way how to pay him back for everything he did for me, us."
"Thank you for a wonderful experience"
"Really , I want to say a big thank for your generous and professional
bootcamp.
I will recommend it to everybody wants to be a CCIE, may be it will be one
of the requirements in the CCIE certifications.
It was good experience and interesting to attend a such course."
"Still studying, and I still can't thank you enough for your hospitality, the
outstanding training and opportunity you have afforded me. I hope to
conquer the R&S before year's end, that's my goal anyway. Maybe see you for
Security!!! Overall, I really enjoyed everything, the training was outstanding and I
hope to meet again soon."
"A long long time ago we configured endless days and nights for three weeks.
Talking only for me I can say that every day of the three weeks were very valueable and
absolutly necessary. It was a really great time. There is no silver bullet to become a
CCIE but long and hard work. And after all it led to success."
"Might I also say that I'm really glad that I pursued this career
direction, and very glad that I was able to do the bootcamp and meet
you..
I'm involved in a number of interesting projects and in having a CCIE I
am well regarded within the organization."
"you will be pleased to know however that everything you drummed in via
those challenges and the lecturing actually began to play itself out like a well
known dance routine in the lab exam..... without your camp I would have felt very
uncomfortable in the exam"
24x7
access to the bootcamp Separation of classroom and equipment Noise level Availability of the "evil-bastard" - also out-of-hours Learning from others Sharing knowledge and different cultures Working alone with my own routers Heinz' generosity Heinz' kind heart Felt like a guest not a student The group It was the best team training I ever had stress-tests very good atmoshere focussed work due to facilities working spirit good/perfect location insider tips food and hotel in general the group discussions were great open and good environment enough equipment to work with to have full time for studying and configure to have a CCIE to help me in my journey discussion hours were like a treasure and were very helpful I felt very free we can work as long as we want meeting like minded individuals from all over the world exchanging experiences and cultural differences having complicated scenarios inside information on IOS features lecture lessons in the morning |
The challenges and study
materials were very good bootcamp facilities and accessability was excellent Cooperation was encouraged with other students Very good mix of study and relaxation Heinz was always available for questions/assistance Overall highly recommended Lots of hands-on trainings Personal feedback to my own configs Very good organisation around the three weeks The surrounding is perfect: quiet, coffee, terrace, can stay as long as you want, good lab setup, nice challenges I feel more prepared now and know what to expect Football & bowling were great stressrelieves Environment (technical, collegues, your way of teaching) good working climate location, people, pool, teacher seeing students from almost every country dedicating most time for challenge configuration exchanging info between students challenges, tasks and the "bastard" everything is perfect and I hope we can make it seeing my significant progress after the second challenge getting a better understanding of what is expected in the lab an excellent experience all around |
More general:
"I met you at your prelab in augsburg
germany 1998 and
had a great time.
I will never forget you going through the NCR
canteen dressed
as an
Arab sheikh speaking perfect German :)"
David Molyneux
The following was brought to me by Mike
Sünder from
German Telekom.
The IT-people there seem to have very high respect
for me and
stated:
"Heinz is the man, where all bits solute him when
marching
past."
In german:
"Heinz ist der Mann, an dem alle Bits
vorüberlaufen,
anhalten, sich vor ihm verbeugen,
und dann weiterlaufen."
On Cisco's networkers conference in Chicago, during a CCIE power
session presentation,
the talk was about the CCIE certificate and how to prepare best for it.
One of Cisco's presenters said the best ccie bootcamp worldwide is
run by a german guy named Heinz Ulm in Augsburg !
(Thanks. This was brought to me from Tom Hagman, Florida, USA)
On a networking conference in netherlands
in 2000
(it wasn't Cisco's networkers!)
there was a public podium discussion about the complexity,
difficulty, worth and meaning of IT-certifications.
Of course there were many discussions about how hard it is to become a
CCIE.
One of the conference attendees (still unknown to me) mentioned over
the microphone that
"sitting in Heinz Ulm's CCIE class is as if you would get your
CCIE number at the end of the class".
(Nice, isn't it. This was brought to me from Robert Teeuw, former
Comparex, NL, employee)
I was speaking to a German Customer who opened a TAC case and has nothing
but good things to say about the course. .
How much did you pay him or is he a relative ?
(Feisal from Cisco TAC, UK)
"I
was so impressed with your site and I
know you are
the biggest name in the CCIE arena that I wanted to offer
you the role
of tech reviewer for my
CCNA book."
