CCIE voice certification is considered as the toughest of all certifications worldwide, not only by Cisco but overall by any company, university or institution. Considered best only for networking professionals with at least more than three to five years of onsite networking experience, the CCIE voice programme can be prepared for in many ways from studying theoretically or by practicing in labs doing practical work on operating systems or both.
It is because most people who try for CCIE voice certifications are professionals already in jobs, it gets difficult to take out time and prepare for the exam due to several factors including pressure at the current job.
First of all one must decide and then stick to the commitment of a minimum of 14 to 15 hours per week to the studies or preparation. Once the time allotment is done, you must get to the task of creating your own CCIE voice lab by either getting some lab gear from your employer or purchase the affordable items from the internet.
If researched thoroughly, there are a lot of equipments and items that can be bought at considerably cheap prices from the internet. Also, look out for the updated CCIE voice workbook on the internet to purchase or download which is created by certified professionals.
