I’m gonna sit for ITIL v3 (Code: EX0–101) exam on late evening today. Hope that I will pass with flying colors. The questions set directly come from Quint Group, UK.

Even 3 days training is barely insufficient, I will try to make use of it.

I’m attending this storage in Penang (again) for the whole 2 weeks. Full swing! Throughout 22/10/07 – 2/11/07.

Kinda tired, though! Have to go through all the slides, practical and examination.

For the time being, I’m certified with 1 paper, namely Test 071: IBM System x Technical Principles V7, last February 2007.

Time to go for another 000-074 and 000-078 which are;
Test 074: System x Windows 2000/2003 Installation and Performance Optimization V2

Test 078: IBM BladeCenter V2

IBM Professional Certification,
We can get you there

I can say that I’m quite familiar with all these Cisco stuff. But in theory, that’s what I’m lacking off.

To those who want to pursue in the networking field, CCNA bootcamp is worth a try.

Below is the testimonial requested by Redynamics to those who passed the exam.

BOOT CAMP SURVIVOR TESTIMONIAL

Congratulations on your recent achievement. We truly believe that achieving certification is a tough job and hard work and skilled knowledge got you through.

In our continuing quest to improve, we would like your general feedback on any area you enjoyed or disagreed with the recent Boot Camp experience. We value any comments you have to make.

Thank You

Now, I have feedback to them.

Yesterday, I was so nervous, preparing for the CCNA exam. At last, I passed the CCNA exam. The result, 910/1000. Not so great, as the passing mark is only 849/1000.

My friend, Nithia who took the exam together with me passed it with 1000/1000. That was a great achievement. It shows that she has a great understanding about network fundamentally and Cisco products.

It’s no surprise then, as she always score high during our CCNA bootcamp class and revision, handled by Raymond Chou.

Now, I will aim for CCNP. Nithia will be undergo a free CCNP course at Redynamics. Raymond has promised to offer a free CCNP class (worth RM12,000++) to those who passed the 640-801 CCNA exam with 1000/1000.

Thanks to Raymond Chou for the CCNA bootcamp class.

Thanks to Nithia for our last revision at her office at Kelana Jaya.

I will talk later about how bootcamp will help you to understand more about Cisco certifications. It’s not compulsory, but it will greatly help you during the exam.

My manager has been pushing me to pass this CCNA exam, or else, this year’s performance will be affected. Gosh!

I was quite handy with Cisco’s stuff, especially when doing installation and configuration at customer’s place. But to be in the real exam, that was kinda nervous.

Here’s my study materials;

1. Pass4Sure, Version 2.83

2. Testinside, Version 11

4. Sadikhov.com CCNA Forum

Wish me luck! I will update my score later.
