Building home Lab for knowledge and certification

[Berkeleycowboy]

I'm considering purchasing Meraki gear as a sandbox for training and certification.  

Licensing is prohibitive for someone that wants to set up their own lab environment.   

Does Cisco have a training lab licensing model?

Meraki do giveaway home labs for those that attended their CMNA (ECMS1) training. This consisted of a switch, MX and AP.  Not sure if this is still the case

I think they have changed it to a single MX67W.

Do you work for a Cisco-partner? There are some Labs available in dCLoud and also in Cisco Devnet.

There is quite a bit of virtual kit in dCloud you can access.
