What It Takes to Become a CCIE
The road to becoming a CCIE is long and winding, with a lot of large hills along the way. You need to have a certain mind-set to undertake such a journey. As you travel down the road, you need to adapt to and embrace the challenges that lie ahead.
As you read about in Chapter 1, you must pass two exams to attain the security CCIE qualification: the qualification exam and the lab exam. Each of these requires a slightly different approach. The qualification exam is a prerequisite for the lab exam, so your initial focus needs to be on passing the qualification exam, which contains quite a bit of theory. After passing the qualification exam, you use this theory to build the foundations for the practical lab exam.
