neowhitehat Posted October 30, 2007 Author Share Posted October 30, 2007 ive already went to an info session. the thing is i need some input on the courses. mainly because its a 6month course and it costs about $28k US. and i think this is a little excessive. but if the training is good and all i may take the training.

SmoothCriminal Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Oh WOW!!! What could you possibly take that costs that much? I am guessing a typo because no one I know would take a course that only lasts six months for 28,000 dollars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neowhitehat Posted October 31, 2007 Author Share Posted October 31, 2007 no its not a typo theres whats all included, a new PC, books, lab manuals, tuition, programs, hardware training, and because they say that there MS certifyed they need to send the students to a testing center and they say normaly that it cousts $150 each time you test so thats included in the 28k. and its a complete MS cert. (vista, server 2k3, and systems management) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jollyrancher82 Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 I'd rather spend $28k on a degree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digip Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Some guys at work and I are doing this: http://www.testout.com/ Our work was sold, so I will be out of a job next year, and evne though I have been there 10years, I have no formal training or certifications. I am self taught and trained on the job, so what I know is only from experience, but I have nothing I can solidly back it up with on a resume, because I have no degree. These discs are no replacement for being able to ask questions in a classroom, but it's all I can afford at the moment(or someone else can afford. I am copying the disks from a co-worker. 42 cd's in all!) It covers: A+, Network+, Linux+, Server+, MCSA/MCSE, MCTS, Security, CCNA, CISSP and SSCP. I am hoping to at least learn enough to pass the tests for a few of these so I will at least have somehting to show after they close the doors at work. If money is a problem, try these and see what you come up with. If anything, they make good meterial to go along side any classes you take and you will have it to study over at your own pace. Even if it takes you longer than expected, your have them as permanent reference material that can be searched through for keywords and such.

SmoothCriminal Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 I'd rather spend $28k on a degree. QFE And to testout, it works!!! I have used it before, the questions are harder than the real thing, but it better prepares you for the test than most other programs I know, also may I suggest books by Todd lammle, they are quick easy ways to prepare you for the tests.

G-Stress Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 I recommend TestOut as well, along with VTC, CBT and Train Signal. All very good virtual training courses. I've done a few and I to am right there with you digip so I'm doin the same thing to hopefully pass the tests :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
