CollabCert would like to congratulate Piotr Puchalski, freshly minted with CCIE #61324, for passing the CCIE Collaboration version 2 Lab exam. He is definitely the first person to pass in the Richardson testing center– we cannot be 100% sure but Piotr may well be only the second person to pass the version 2 lab (apologies if this is not accurate but he is definitely one of the first few).
We ran our first bootcamp in December 2018 (student picture below). Piotr was one of 6 students to attend and the class was a success although there were definitely a few hiccups along the way.
Hopefully all of these guys will clear the lab sooner rather than later.
We met up for a small celebration – two of the very few CCIE Collab version 2 passing students forming a very select group!
“For anyone determined to achieve CCIE Collaboration V2 lab, CollabCert should be the natural choice. He has worked with UC for decades and is very familiar with CCIE Collaboration track, formerly CCIE Voice. In his bootcamps he does not really teach the exam, he teaches the technology itself and makes it easy to understand. Even after the course ended he was still available to answer any questions and accommodated me for practice exam.
In my eyes, passing the exam takes two things – being efficient at working with products and knowing the technology completely. I knew I had to put in a lot of effort into time-efficiency and attention to detail which cannot be taught and must be practiced, I trusted Vik to help me with the first and he surpassed my expectations. I would say I was very well prepared for the lab, even though it took me two attempts; the first attempt simply revealed my shortcomings and areas of improvement. The second attempt I took with confidence and succeeded. Thanks to Vik!”

Congrats Piotr!!! 🙂
