I still remember the day when I visited CCIE HOME just for an enquiry last year and I was just comparing this with an another institute where I went earlier for enquiry. Next day I took a decision that I'll go with CCIE HOME and yes, that decision literally changed my life and filled me with tons of confidence and gave me a platform from where I can fly high and progress. It always feel special when you're around hepta CCIE's and it feels like as if you're in different world surrounded by professional people. I'll be back for another track

I learned so much from CCIE HOME. Their labs were also brutal. You (Kamlesh) taught me so much. Besides the technologies, I learned from you the value of configuring accurately, verifying everything, reading slowly to catch all of the details. Thank you very much CCIE HOME and team. Wish you all the best and looking forward to be associated with CCIE HOME for the 2nd CCIE. Also please advice which CCIE track will be the best for me.
