When it comes CCDE certification preparation, unlike CCIE exams it's hard to get instant gratification as CCDE certification happens to be theoretical and one certainly will not be engaged in configuring the real gears.
Often those who come from hands-on experience find it hard to measure their progress, and usually, they end up giving up their CCDE aspirations.
At one point in my life, I had an aspiration to be a CCDE did start my journey. However, my dopamine levels never raised with the CCDE training stuff available at that particular time. I gave up.
After getting know Mohamed Radwanand the frequent discussions, I had with him about the technology made the paradigm shift in my transformation from being an implementation and operations Engineer to Security Architect.
Lately, after several technical encounters, I had with Mohamedand especially after attending his last CCDE boot camp as a guest participant to review the security domain, gave me the insights on what made me give up my CCDE aspirations. He was quite competent to bring in the awareness and the mindset one needs to persist in being a CCDE.
When Mohamed released his much-awaited title “CCDE The Practical Guide” I realized if this title exists a few years back, my motivation would not have faded away.
