[c-nsp] Cisco Training question

[Scott Granados]

What's a good configuration for a basic lab that would work in that type
of setting.  Our present network is very simple but it won't be that way
for ever hopefully.  Are there any good documents that might give lab
construction tips?

Do you want smart people, or certified people?  For smart people, build 
a company lab and buy some Cisco Press books.  Quiz them internally, and

guide them from there.  For certified people, send them to boot camps. 
They'll memorize a bunch of material, and walk out with a piece of
paper.

Most folks go the CCNA route, then CCNP.  Push your good routerheads to 
do CCIP as well.  Push your design-oriented people to do CCDA and CCDP 
as well.  Push your security folk to do CCSP.
