QoS Plan, review of INE CCIE Written Bootcamp COD

Well I have mapped out a pretty decent plan for tackling the QoS exam.

Reading:
Implementing Cisco QoS Student Guide Vol I&II (160 pages in so far)
Cisco Catalyst QoS: Quality of Service in Campus Networks
QoS section from CCIE Certification Guide
QoS SRND

Already read previously:
Cisco QOS Exam Certification Guide

QoS Videos:
INE Written Bootcamp COD - QoS Completed
INE Advanced Technologies COD - QoS
INE Open Lectures on QoS

LABS:
INE Vol I: QoS 1-81


I have viewed the BGP and QoS sections of the INE CCIE Written Bootcamp and I'm not impressed at all. It seems to be lower than CCNP level stuff being covered. I was expecting a deep dive into the theory of each protocol down to the fundamentals of how things worked and I have been hugely dissappointed. The presentation is great, albeit a little slow to load each video (sometimes 10 minutes) when some of them aren't even 10 minutes long, but if the material was good I could put up with that. So I feel that was a definite waste of money, if I could advise other people...stick with the Vol I technology labs and the Advanced Technologies COD which are both excellent. If you haven't completed your CCNP I would get the Written Bootcamp.
