"Heinz is a master.  His instructors are chosen and are
groomed accordingly. He watches them just like he
watches us.

"Overall it is not only the most complete training but
it also the best bargain for the buck.

"His training is simply the B-O-M-B!!!" ....more....

"I highly recommend Heinz Ulm's CCIE preparation training.  Heinz provides the finishing touches that one needs to be successful on the CCIE lab exam.  Through his tutelage my skills were fine-tuned so that I was able to go into the lab without fear (really, I was Uber-confident!) and pass.   

Heinz Ulm uber alles!!" CCIE 20503

"He breaks you down as you realize where you are truthfully with regard to your skills. He then builds you up. He creates an "Espirit de Corp" that I have not seen since hanging out with the MARDET back in my Navy days. His students are loyal. They come as clients and leave as friends." ....more....
dw6
"In comparison to other training that I have attended, I would say this is the "MOST" personal training I have yet to attend. It is very customized and it is very unique."

I passed lab exam on first attempt after attending Heinz Ulms class, which gave me the necessary knowledge and time managing skills. Thank you very much Heinz!

The Heinz Ulm Bootcamp is like a classical education in computer networking. He brings you back to the fundamental bits and bytes of IP networking. In doing so, you gain not just memorised information but an understanding of the concepts and procotols involved. As a result, the construction of switching, routing, redistribution and filtering configurations are far more intuitive. 
 
The Bootcamp also helps you to develop vital exam techniques. The very nature of the course means that you build mental stamina and after three weeks of agressive preparation, you should be capable of 8.5 hours of concentration. You are also required to develop the attention to detail required in the real lab and it becomes obvious very quickly that no assumptions can be made at all. 
 
Finally, the Bootcamp experience itself was very rewarding and I met some great friends during the three weeks. The setting is very informal and while the atmosphere is relax, there is also a collective focus with everyone working together to solve problems and ultimately get that number.

"One can only imagine how he keeps his students
motivated even when their eyes are blood red and their
faces are worn out.
" ....more....
"I think you asked about his "Instructors" that he
leaves behind. They are all former students. The one
that is giving a bootcamp in Germany right now is
named "Heiko" and he is a "Dirty Evil Bastard" just
like Heinz...
" ....more....
"I've seen many questions on Groupstudy about what to ask the proctor. The students of Heinz Ulm are drilled every single day on not only what to ask, but when to ask, and why to ask. They are taught to make an impression on the proctor that they did not come to
take the lab exam, but instead that they are fully prepared for the lab exam and they simply came to the Cisco facility to collect their digits." ....more....
dw2
"Unlike Caslow or the Brians - Apparently no one has ever completed a single lab of his in 8 hours on the first try, nor have they passed it obviously ..."	 ....more....
dw3
"He is honest with his students. He will give his students the wealth of his experience. This is what you are coming to his camp for in the first place." ....more....
dw10
"Totally A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!!" ....more....
dw15
A student: "Thanks for the course again. It was very valuable for me, and I enjoyed every day in your torture chamber :-)"
dw4
"The student is taught strategy and to make no assumptions. In other camps, one may "told" to make no assumptions; Heinz takes this a step further and demonstrates at every single opportunity what assumptions can be made and what questions are the correct questions to ask. The student is taught strategy and a careful strategy involves rigorous hands-on lab time followed by solving complex network configurations that Heinz or one of his "MINI-ME's" have concocted for each student. Yes, I am telling you that he studies you as you progress through his labs, and he customizes the labs you are presented each day in a methodical fashion of helping each student not only realize his weaknesses, but also learning from them and even turning them into strengths. Be prepared he does not neglect what you thought were your strengths either."
....more....
dw7
"My overall impression was quite favorable. He is a humble man who only has one mission and that is to prepare CCIE Candidates to take the CCIE Lab and be prepared to pass it. Apparently he does this well. 
He will ask you questions. He will engage you. He will ask you to explain yourself, even if you are right, you must still know why...
If you consider this painful or torture then it is what it is. However, consider this: his students, time after time, remain motivated to work heavy into the night and into the morning each and every day and each and every class to try to complete the tasks they have been assigned. His students forego sleep as a rule. They are so intent into whatever he is
teaching; whatever he has assigned them; and whatever he has asked them to do. He has an uncanny undeniable ability to simply motivate his students to go one step further and each student just does whatever is expected." ....more....
dw8
"Yes - Heinz is unique - he takes situations and turns
your weaknesses into strengths."

"I would like to say that the bootcamp has been extremely valuable to me and I would also like you to thank Heiko for all his support and helpful advice, I have learned a lot but still feel like I have a lot to learn"

I scheduled the 3 weeks Bootcamp at Heinz Ulm with 7 weeks in advance of my lab date. At first I thaught that was a long time, because I was feeling pretty good with my knowledge. But it turned out I was wrong. I wasn't as prepared as I thaught I was. After the 3 weeks spent with Heinz I knew exactly where I was and what I needed to do. The 7 weeks after the bootcamp were gold for me. I passed the lab on my first attempt. Thanks Heinz for everything."  CCIE 22806

"I once again want to thank you both for setting me on the right track. Your bootcamp really changed my look on my profession." CCIE 22886
dw22
"I cannot thank you enough for helping me achieve my CCIE number and also,
and you may find this hard to believe, making it enjoyable in the process.
You may see me again on the CCIE security bootcamp once I regain my energy."

"Heinz, I got my number today. Thanks for the crazy  weeks I spent with you."  CCIE 23044
Heiko, I really want to thank you for all your  effort and patience. You are a good instructor and more important you  are a great person. I am happy to meet you.
Heinz, thank you too. Your system, training materials are very well structured and do their job well. I did not realize how much we improved through these three weeks. Without bootcamp I had no chance to it. Actually I had no hope at the beggining... now I have the number: CCIE 20597

"A student(himself a Cisco instructor):
Just come back at home after 3 weeks at Heinz Ulm CCIE Bootcamp. Great experience!
If you have yet a solid background and you are ready for an intensive
period of hard study you can really improve your preparation for your CCIE Lab.
I studied for 12 hours daily (90% hand-on on my 7 routers, changing
and tuning every hour my solutions) , Saturday and Sunday inclusive, I
solved all the Evil Bastard tasks, I hear his intersting hints and I
understood so much style improvements for my configuration.

I' m entusiastic of that course.
And finally I'm sure that Heinz is the best Cisco Instructor I ever
meet in my career, a real solid Networking knowledge and a big smile
everyday in his face"
