Hey everyone, don't forget, the launch pricing for founding members ends on the academy website this weekend. On the 1st July, the price will increase. If you want to lock in the founding member price, you need to do it by Sunday! Founding member pricing is $79 per year or $9 per month. Locked in forever, the price won't change if you lock it in before Sunday. On Monday, the pro pricing remains at $199 per year or $24 per month. The price includes ALL exams, which are also backed by a money-back guarantee. If you don't pass your real exam, you get your money back (T&C's are on the website). It will also include all Packet Tracer labs and my new exam engine, which should be launching soon. The academy.anythingoverip.com website has exploded this year. The server nearly crashed twice when I offered free access earlier this year, and again when I dropped all the exams in one go last month. I've since adjusted the hosting system and distributed the workload across more servers to take the hits when they come, and we have been stable for a long time now. As of today, we are getting over 5,000 unique visitors to the site per day, and more than 2,000 exams have been taken (start to finish), not just the practice and learning modes. Thanks for the support so far, and all the best for your studies now and in the future. As always, if there is anything I can do to help you, let me know. I'm hoping to spend more time making videos and doing more labs in July.

Hey everyone, some amazing things have happened since my last update, and a few milestones have been achieved. 1) I have now published over 600 articles on the academy website. 2) I have just finished editing half the labs for Cisco's new CLHCT course - standby for updates on that in the future, but the new version looks amazing. Cisco did a great job with the Blueprint items, and I authored the course with a colleague and good friend of mine. Cisco has published some of the new versions already, but the rest of the course should be online on Cisco U soon, and you will be able to attend the course in person, most likely in the next few months. 3) We crossed the 100-member threshold on this Skool site, which is awesome! Welcome to all the new members! 4) Our exam engine on the academy website got its 2,000th completion. That means we have now delivered more than 2,000 exams. Don't forget, pricing goes up at the end of the month, so don't miss out on lifetime membership pricing that won't change if you lock it in before then. 5) There is a 90% change I'll be at Cisco Live in Melbourne in November this year. If any of you are going to be there, it will be great to catch up in person. I was unfortunately unable to present at Cisco Live in Vegas last month due to other commitments, but I might be presenting at Cisco Live in Melbourne. 6) The lab engine that I've been building for a few months is almost ready - I think. Which means the labs and exercises will be available for you all to get your hands dirty on soon! Then moving on to more about YOU. What do you all want to see more of here and on the academy website? What material are you needing more of? What topics are you struggling with?

The Founders' pricing on our academy website was limited, and we have nearly sold all those spots. Here's your last chance to lock it in. When I launched the AOIP Exam Engine, I offered founding-member pricing to those who believed in it early. That price, $9/month or $79/year, closes on 30 June. From 1 July, the platform moves to Pro pricing at $24/month or $199/year. If you've been sitting on the fence, now's the time. Founding members lock in that rate for life, it never increases, and every certification we add is included automatically. That's CCNA, Network+, Security+, CCST Networking, and everything still to come. At $79/year vs $199/year, you're locking in a 60% discount, permanently. Did I mention that I'm so confident in our exam engine that if you fail the real exam, I'll give you your money back! Full terms are on the website. Also, if you have not seen, Cisco has announced the new CCNA starting early next year, so if you want to attempt the current 200-301 exam, you need to get it done sooner rather than later! Of course, I will release the new exam questions once we have a better idea of what Cisco is doing with the new CCNA.

Yesterday we had a big spike of people jumping in and the server struggled for a bit, so if you tried and it didn’t load properly, that’s fixed now. 👉 It’s running smoothly again. If you don't know what I'm talking about, go read yesterday's post about celebrating 50 members. There are still some seats for skool members. I allocated 25 just for skool members, so the influx that I saw yesterday from the other social groups won't affect your seats. But be quick, once they are gone, they are gone, then the price goes to $9 a month until the rest of the founding seats are taken

Today has been busy. I've uploaded a couple of YouTube videos (Recorded and edited them) and created THREE Courses inside the classroom here in Skool. The new Members only page is up and running on the Academy website (still Free). https://academy.anythingoverip.com Go check out the first 3 courses, they start at the basics (which is a good place to start) and from there I will continue building up. The next SEVEN courses are already in production, and will be published as I complete each one. They are all somewhere between 20% - 60% ready. However, there is only 1 left that is accessibly with a level 1 account. You will need a level 2 account for the next few courses. Don't worry, it's still free, but I'm trying to encourage you all to engage with each other and starting posting on this community so myself and everyone else can start working together. So, don't be scared, write a post, leave some comments, like some posts, like some comments. Let's get the engagement going. I've been working 14-hour days non-stop, so this weekend will be time to unplug and relax. Maybe do some woodworking with my son. I also need to finish season 4 of Stranger Things. yes I know, I'm behind! I work too much! So I have 2 questions for all of you: 1) What are you all up to this weekend? 2) What do you want to see in the Classroom section of this community?
