This was my dream blog post I have been waiting to write for last 12 months (since I passed my written exam 30th Aug 2012). After 15 hours of nervous time since finishing my lab exam finally I got my result. Now I have become a CCIE wireless. Yes my lucky day was 20th Aug 2013 .
This sort of satisfaction is hard to come by. You have to earn it & I had to put enormous number of hours to get it. Wake up 4:00AM & study 2-3 hours before go to work & then study full time over the weekend. That was my life most of past 12 months.
I got a very good support from my company & they really support me during this tough journey. But without the support I got from my family, this was an impossible task. They made great scarification to make my journey success. So I would dedicate my CCIE wireless to my wife Rajika, daughter Dewmi (4yr) & son Manuka (1yr) for the contribution they made on this. Also through this blog I met lot of colleagues in the same field & that help as well.
Here is some celebration I had when I came home with my exam result from work (Thaththa mean “Dad” in our language)
Time to enjoy this for now & I will write a separate post on my strategy this time.

Congrats on a fantastic achievement. I’ve not been following long but you’re blog has well worth been following in the run ups to the first attempt of the lab. Keep up the good work i’m still trying to source some equipment to practice on with only a 2106 and a few 1242’s. I completed my CCNP Wireless over a year ago now and in that time i think the experiance will help prepare for the IE.
Once again congrats!
Hi Mike,
Thanks for wishes…
Keep your dream alive and start planning for your IE… you can get it as long as you have a good determination & believe in yourself
Regards
Rasika
Congratulations!! Excellent accomplishment and the way you have been able to stay focused and share the experience has been a tremendous benefit. Thanks again for sharing!
Thanks Rob,
I used CLI heavily this time & that is one of success factor this time. Some of your tricks (debug aaa tacacs enable) help me a lot to learn CLI commands in easy & quick way.
Thank you….
