Expert Instructor
The class is taught by Malcolm Booden, CCDE #20170037 who has been teaching network design since 2019 and over 23 years experience working in large scale network design.
Team Environment
We structure the training so it feels like you are working in a highly skilled architecture team to solve very complex network design challenges at CCDE level.
Collaborative Learning
Although we base the training on a structured approach, our instructors have the necessary skills and experience to cover any network technology in an ad-hoc freestyle teaching style.
About the course
The 5-day CCDE Training with Malcolm Booden, CCDE #20170037 is designed for experienced network professionals who want to develop true architectural thinking and successfully prepare for the CCDE exam. This is not a theory-heavy course. Instead, it is built around real-world, complex design scenarios that place the onus on you to analyse requirements, evaluate trade-offs, and make informed design decisions—just as you would in both the CCDE exam and real-life network architecture roles. Throughout the week, you will be challenged to think differently. The focus is on developing the CCDE mindset: understanding why decisions are made, not just what the answers are. What Makes This Course Different This training is recognised for its quality, clarity, and practical delivery. Feedback from previous students consistently highlights: - Clear, structured explanations of complex design concepts - A strong focus on real-world applicability, not memorisation - Hands-on problem solving that mirrors the CCDE exam format - A learning environment where questions, discussion, and critical thinking are encouraged

I recommend Malcolm’s training as final preparation for the CCDE practical exam. The provided scenarios, which are discussed with peers in a small group, really train the required “design” mindset for both the exam as for real life.

If you are on a learning path for CCDE certification, I strongly recommend adding Malcolm's bootcamp to your list. MNB networks is the only provider offering in-person attendance, which I personally consider essential for an effective study process. The bootcamp offers a comprehensive overview of all key technologies needed for the CCDE lab. Malcolm ensures that each topic is covered thoroughly, and also creates his own practice scenarios to help solidify theoretical knowledge. The class encourages interactions and discussions among participants, and also introduces you to a network of like-minded individuals, which is an invaluable part of the CCDE journey..
