| This is how it works the office that I am at has about 11 Pc's for system admin labs/hands on,(MC$/ Oracle, CIW, blah blah) tracks, and about 4 more computers for those on the Networking (Network+ and Cisco tracks) Then an area set aside for the A+ folks. IN another room there is a conference room with a couple of white boardds, in another room there is about 20 PC's set up for CBT, and WBT course work.
This is how it goes. I wanted to work on my CCNA, they (my mentor or any mentor) gives me my books, and the CD's and labs to work on. I can work from home or from the school ( I have road runner, so I do alot of studying at home). They have scheduled labs/seminars/group discussions set up throughout the month
examples are
subnetting made easy
A+ lab
CISCO HSRP
anyway once you feel reeady for the test you can come in and get TPA test pass assurance, by taking 3 practice tests and scoring 90% or better. This will guarantee a pass, or they will pay for up to 3 more tests for you. Great idea in theory, and some of the students actually most of them do this.
Problem for me is that when I actually go to the school, I want to do hands on work, I can take practice tests at home. These practice test are about 200 questions each. about 2 hours of sitting
Anyway, it is a pretty good deal, I think it is expensive as hell, but it at least for me beat going full time to college to work in this area, and also beat XXXHorizons, because I cannot make a dedicated schedule for my IT training
Look at it in this manner, I have been enrolled in the program for 5 months and have my CNA, Network+,CCNA and working on my CCDA
I am on the 1 year IT membership about 6K | |

| Seriously its not bad, but the price is high, but they have your back, I want to be in design, so I will probably finish up the CCDP, and work back with Routing and Linux | |
