The Interface HardHat™ Experience is a comprehensive, reality-based learning system, which immerses the student in extremely realistic business scenarios and technologies to reinforce the learning process. The “Solutions-Based and Best-Practice Approach,” the premise of the HardHat™ Experience, is used consistently throughout each technology area. Each HardHat™ student will master information regarding how critical technologies are best applied within businesses of varying sizes: Creating solutions you can actually use, understanding why a solution should be chosen, and understanding the variables and implications of each choice made regarding the solution. In addition, by exposing the “Best Practices” of Design, Configuration and Troubleshooting for each target technology area, the student will learn to do things “The Right Way, the First Time” and learn how to identify “Hidden Issues” before they materialize.

To gain confidence and independence in what has been learned; the hands-on exercises in the Interface HardHat™ programs do not follow a prescribed 'recipe-style lab' as many courses do, rather, the labs are ‘Evolutions’ which build to finality with a complete solution, while making the student 'think' in the process. Hands-on time is emphasized and each Lab Evolution engages the student to design, implement and test the full application of the critical technologies being studied. Each HardHat™ student will configure their solutions using live systems and hardware and will always learn directly from our CCIE® Instructors. Upon exit of any Interface HardHat™ Experience, the student will be empowered to immediately apply what they have learned within their own environments."

Each student is in charge of a pod of hardware consisting of live Cisco® Routers, Catalyst™ Switches, technology specific devices, as well as all related connectivity technologies. HardHat™ Lab Equipment List: Cisco® 1800ISR, 2800ISR, 2600XM, and 3600 routers, Catalyst™ 6500, 2960, and 3550/3560/3750 switches, Cisco® Unified Wireless devices and APs, ASA5500™ Security Appliances with AIP-SSM, IPS Modules and Sensors, as well as all related connectivity technologies.
