CCIE Lab at Cisco Live 2011

There was some quick conversation on Twitter this morning about the CCIE Lab being available during Cisco Live 2011.  Well, after some digging around I was able to find a copy of the ad that talks about the availability of the lab.  Based on what the ad says, seats are available on July 9th and July 10th only.  This lab can only be scheduled via the Cisco Live registration site, below are the instructions on how to schedule.
I have to say that this is a long time coming, and lets hope they continue this with – say – the CCDE!?!?  It does not say what CCIE labs will be available, and my best guess would be R&S only at this time.
UPDATE – 5/31 – It is my understanding (from a beautiful source) that the following CCIE Labs will be available:

  • Routing and Switching
  • Security
  • Service Provider
  • Wireless
  • Service Provider Operations
  • Storage

 
To register for this lab (assuming you have already registered for Cisco Live), login to Cisco Live US and under Quick Links select My Cisco Live
Cisco Live Quick Links menu with My Cisco Live highlighted
Login with your username and password used during registration

Cisco Live 2011 NetVet Registration login page with user name and password fields

Select the Registration option
Cisco Live registration page showing Registration Complete with three purchases and a Mandalay Bay hotel reservation

Then scroll all the way to the bottom and you will find the CCIE Lab Exam Availability section and click on the To scheduled your lab…CCIE Lab Exam Availability page: lab exams are offered July 9 and 10 at Mandalay Bay before Cisco Live, with a link to schedule

Then fill out the page presented to you and submit it.

That is all that I have on this for now.  I am not taking a lab at Live this year, if they offer the CCDE next year – I might be!

So, if you do schedule a lab, let me know and GOOD LUCK!
