CCNA Security Training

So what is the opinion of some of the "Boot Camps" offered for CCNA Security?
Any good, bad?
Thanks

Which ones? I normally do not condone boot camps. You can learn the same amount if not more, for a lot less money on your own time.

The company I work for is pushing to have employees do these, so the cost would not be paid by myself.
I was thinking either Boson in Tampa, or CC Bootcamp in Vegas.

Either of those would be good -- and honest.

To get the most out of a boot camp you still need to do some self-study before you go.

That I agree with.

I know one of the guys at the Vegas CC Bootcamp, he knows his stuff well. If work pays for it then go for it!

Do you have any gear at home? Best way to learn imho.

Sadly, no gear at home.
I got packet tracer and all the virtual stuff I can handle. Plus the Security guys at my job will let me play with almost anything.
It would be a great thing also, since they are pitching to move from PIX to ASA and I would be apart of the design, install and admin.
