You are on the CCIE Voice Study Group page

Team Lead: Doug Renner

The CCIE Study Group will meet on weekends and/or evenings to collaborate on topics to prepare for the lab exam. If you are interested in attending or sponsoring a group at your company site or conference room, email the group leader with the information. We are hoping to get 2 or 3 people that can dedicate their conference room on a rotating basis.

Meetings
