I address all features needed for the routing and switching one-day-exam.

Each attendee has a minimum of 7 routers of his own to
configure (unshared !!!)
(In some tasks you must configure more.  If it's not enough for you, I have more)

You are working via a terminal-server just as in the exam.

I'm emulating the lab-exam.  And I'm emulating/creating stress.

You must work completely on your own with your own
pace, your own CCO-CD or CCO-web access.

There are no (official) breaks other than the lunch-break.

There are special stress exercises which put you under extreme load.

Most attendees underestimate the complexity.

The challenges start with a fairly complex one
and the complexity is increasing from task to task and day to day.
The complexity is similar to what you can expect in the real lab.

(my students call me the "evil bastard", one called the camp "porkhell, germany")
Please note, that my bootcamp is 90 % hands-on,  with a morning lectured session on most days, covering
the gaps and deficits which I discovered during my monitoring.  During the morning sessions, there
are also lectures about addressing issues, bit splitting, ospf area bit splitting, VLSM, undocumented
or barely documented stuff. By displaying configs with errors students are challenged if they can find
quickly what's wrong, and are given hints and tricks how they could have found it quicker and more efficiently.
Basic configuration tasks are not dicussed and must be understood before you come to the camp.
 
I'm constantly monitoring what and how the attendees are configuring during the day.
Actually students are asked to install VNC so that I can even see their
keystrokes the moment they enter them (just as in the exam)

If there is/are missing knowledge and/or missing tipps and tricks, do's and don'ts common to all of them, it will be
discussed/lectured in the morning sessions. If there is a knowledge-gap just with one person then
there is a 1:1-discussion/lecturing with that person only.

Students receive a written list of  "complaints"  after each challenge, showing them the mistakes they made,
the severity for each mistake, the wrong or sub-optimal way of configuring the particular tasks with hints and tricks.
The complaints-list is reviewed by the student and afterwards discussed with me if there are disagreements
or if anything is left unclear. The "complaints" give the student the change to avoid this errors in the next
challenge. Just by this alone, the student's configs get better from task to task.

Between my bootcamp and the lab-exam you should plan approx. 2-3 
additional weeks (including the VPN-week) for further studies, book readings and practice to
fill all the gaps which you discovered during the bootcamp.

Bootcamp is tough, very tough: Deep concentrated students                                                                                                            First warning: Shot into foot !!!                  "Where is Heinz ? I'll  shoot the bastard !" Look how they are finished.....
