This is amusing to hear.
You see Narbik has been in the past an instructor for
at least CCBootCamp among others and has received
numerous accolades here on GS and is mentioned by many
in their "Thanks" speeches after achieving their own
CCIE status.
Narbik is only doing what others before him did at NMC
(any one remember ECP-1/ECP-2 from Mentor
Technologies), and what the Brians at IE did when they
started IE (Remember the Netgun/Global Knowledge CCIE
Program) and others...
So to say a CCIE instructor is sub-par because he is
teaching the "basics" is really kinda off-beat and
lame.
You see the CCIE Lab in and of itself is basically a
lab a lab of basics per technology. But a proper mix
of those technologies and whatever we bring with us to
the lab in terms of experience and training.
You'd be surprised at how many people fail the labs
due to having little or not enough knowledge of the
"basics".
The lab is stressful because of what we hear and
because of what we make it, not because it has ungodly
difficult tasks or procedures.
Hell... it fails a good number of people on their own
ability to mis-read or failure to read the
instructions.
Actually, I've been around a while and I've heard more
good than I've ever heard bad about Narbik's camps.
I'll be going to one in February for a week to see for
myself and learn some of the basics - I seem to have
missed a few times myself.
Good Luck!
