Best training sites? Thoughts on INE?

Hey All -

Currently working on my CCIE R&S. I've been using INE and while Brian is amazing and smart I find the content hard to stick with sometimes. Watching him on the CLI doing config and packet captures... I can't do it. I appreciate the depth of his effort, but for me I'd rather have a more structured lecture approach.

Does anyone else feel this way? If so what resources do you use for these more advanced certs?

What I've found better success doing:

• CBT Nuggets and Networklessons.com to get a base understanding

• Books to go deeper on a technology

• INE ATC Lab Book to get the hands on

• Boson labs / Boson test questions

I also like the streaming courses on Safari Books for things like AWS Solution Architect etc.
