    FAQ

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Got questions? We’ve got answers. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, contact our support team.

    A downloadable PDF plus the lab pack. Step-by-step lab guides, real exam-style scenarios, configuration walkthroughs, and topology files where the cert needs them. The CCIE Security workbook is 580 pages with 120 labs. CCNP Enterprise is 450 pages with 85 labs. After payment you download instantly. No shipping, no waiting.

     

    30 days from purchase, full refund, no questions asked. Email support within 30 days of your order date and we’ll process the refund in 3 to 5 business days back to your original payment method.

     

    Yes. Every workbook tracks the active blueprint for that cert. CCIE Security follows v6.0. AWS Solutions Architect tracks SAA-C03. CCNP ENCOR tracks 350-401. When a vendor updates the blueprint, we rewrite the affected sections and you get the new version free. That’s what “lifetime updates” means on the product page.

     

    No. Most labs run on free tools – EVE-NG, GNS3, Packet Tracer, or your cloud provider’s free tier. Each workbook lists exactly what to install and how to set it up. A laptop with 16 GB RAM handles about 90% of the labs. AWS and Azure workbooks just need a free-tier account from the vendor.

     

    Depends on the cert and your weekly study time. Most students finish CCNA-level workbooks in 4 to 6 weeks at 10 hours a week. CCNP-level takes 8 to 12 weeks. CCIE workbooks are a 4 to 6 month commitment. These aren’t 30-day shortcuts. They’re structured study plans built around the same time most certified pros took to pass.

     

    You’ve got 30 days to ask for a full refund, no questions asked. We’ve sold over 25,000 workbooks and our refund rate stays under 2%. If something doesn’t match what’s promised on the product page, we’d rather give the money back than argue about it.
