Study Time on a Lab

From a recent survey, it is estimated that the average CCIE (Routing and Switching) spends a minimum of 350 hours of practical study on a lab. The basic requirement to pass the CCIE Security exam is hands-on practice in a lab environment. Passing the CCIE Security exam without extensive hands-on experience is nearly impossible.
