China Township-based IPexpert Inc. this week unveiled a new "Blended Learning Program" for Cisco Systems engineers working toward the Cisco Certified Internetworking Expert designation.

The CCIE is the highest-level career certification offered by Cisco Systems Inc., the global networking giant. Less than 25,000 individuals currently hold the CCIE designation, which certifies them among the elite pool of true experts worldwide. The examination entails an eight-hour-long hands-on lab test.

Previously, the preparation process meant six to 18 months worth of studying with various self-preparation materials and media types found through a myriad of resources and vendors. Now, IPexpert says it has consolidated the training tools proven most effective over its seven years in business. The full suite of up-to-date resources, combining thousands of pages of written materials with dozens of hours' worth of recorded audio lectures and video tutorials, is shipped to the customer on one compact external hard drive.

This innovation in CCIE training allows the candidate to take their training with them wherever they may go. And for senior-level networking engineers that spend most of their time traveling to customer locations, this is a tremendous advantage.

"The CCIE is the premiere, most sought-after career certification for serious engineers," explained Matt Brooks, Vice President of IPexpert. "We expect to see the other training vendors adopt this new method of delivery and quickly offer similar programs, which will effectively revolutionize the niche market we serve."

Founded in 2001, IPexpert currently appears in Inc. Magazine's annual list of the fastest growing privately owned companies in America.
