Hi René, I am really enjoying this website. I read in your bio that you became a CCSI. I am a CCNA and would like to ask how I can become a CCSI?
Please share with us the path you took and your experience.

Hello Shamin,
I was a CCSI back when I was doing freelance teaching. I didn’t renew it since i got my CCIE and because I only work on Networklessons nowadays.
If you want to become a CCSI, you need to associate yourself with a Cisco Learning Partner. This shouldn’t be a problem since CLPs usually need an X amount of CCNA/CCNP/CCIE people for certain statuses.
Also, there is a two day exam:
* One lab day
* One presentation day
The lab is a bit above CCNA level and I think the passing rate was > 80% or something. On the presentation day, you have to teach two CCNA topics from the official Cisco courseware (you can buy a preparation kit for CCSI from the Cisco learning website).
Pass both the lab and the presentations and you are a CCSI 
You can find a detailed guide here:
I really enjoyed the whole experience and teaching the classroom courses.

Hi Arindom,
Glad to hear you want to stay on board 
Nowadays, I work full time on networklessons.com. I really don’t have time for anything else. Writing content and recording videos takes a lot of time, and there is a lot of other work behind the scenes.
