Does that mean they counted me 14 times?

They do make it sound like its valid certifications... but I've got to wonder if maybe they are counting bodies that were previously certified.

And the "individual" makes it sound like they are only counting everyone once.... but then that could just be marketing speak..... but that number is really scary if it is active certified individuals counted just once for all their certifications.

CCIE is valid for 2 years. You dont have to do the lab test to recertify, you could "simply" write one of the written exams.

I'm sure it's not meant to be easy whether it's your first, second, or third time. But it's probably more "easy" after the first and second time.

Of course is a way more easy.... the reason many and many ppl arent CCIEs yet its because they dont pass the lab... i think most of the ppl pass the written exam...

1250 bucks really isn't a lot to be spending, considering how much you will be making as a CCIE... even if you had to spend that every year, which isn't the case, still is not a lot

Its all relative.
