Congrats!! What resources did you use to prepare? Did you spin up any labs?

I started just reading the book from Cisco Press, but my job wanted me to accelerate the timeline and offered to put me through an official class. It included labs, which I found extremely helpful. I finished the book afterwards feeling pretty solid going in.

Shameless ask -- did you keep any notes/materials from the official class :D

So the OCG and Cisco course is enough to pass? I know some technologies it isn't, but ISE administration is my main job. My issue is that we don't use a lot of the available technologies.

For me it was. I use ISE periodically for my job, and knew Device Admin and Policies pretty well. The class with the lab added the features I wasn’t familiar with, and the OCG is well written. It filled in some of the smaller gaps the class didn’t have time for, like ports and protocols and some details. Compared to the SCOR OCG I was much more satisfied with it.

That's awesome to hear. Thanks for taking the time to reply.

Well done, congrats. Will have mine in two weeks. Did you have on the job experience with ISE before?

I’d never heard of ISE before starting my current job 2.5 years ago. Learned about when I started and discovered an attempt had been made to move from ACS to ISE for device auth, but only 3 devices had made it. I completed that migration with some help, then looked at what It could do for NAC as it was another organisational goal. That was the extent of it for me, and I learned a ton in the class and from the book.
