Question is for all CCIE lab qualified Engineers (R&S) or working on it.

Hi,
I am CCNP qualified and my question is that I don’t work in an ISP or at a level which can give me experience of CCIE level, keeping that in mind can I pursue for CCIE Lab exam just by reading or setting up small home lab?

Please let me know your advise as I desperately need it, and hope all of you would have a Happy Christmas.

Thank you very much indeed.
