Lab Time ????????????????
|
|
|
| I am taking a survey of people taking their certs.
What if there was a business that let you come in and do labs for a small fee or maybe some type of membership. Would you be interested?
The labs would be open to do whatever you wanted to do (Routers, ATM, Frame Relay, Sniffers, NT Servers/Workstations, Novell Servers, Sun Servers, Labs would only be limited to what equipment the lab had). No classes. Maybe an lab tech to help you with questions or problems.
This way individuals do not have to buy expensive equipment (Cisco Routers) to get the hands-on they need for their cert and/or technical development.
And for bussinesses, the IT dept could rent out the lab to build mock networks of their existing network, and implement new technologies to see if it is going to work in their network.
What would you pay for this type of service?
As mention above, there could be an hourly rate for "now and again", or for people going to the top of their cert a membership with a monthly fee.
I need your feed back

| i think it would be a very good idea. It is like 24 hour fitness. A membership fee for a month about $250 or so. A person can come when ever but he or she have to sign out that she or he will take care of the equipment | |

| Sounds like a great idea. Not sure how much you would charge, but i'd deffinately pay to use it if it were reasonable.

| Very cool idea. Maybe add a simulation training program to further the hands on feel for the labs. Not sure what services to estimate by a charge though. | |
|
| Great idea! Just make sure you have ample equipment to do the job. Some companies may suprise you and want 25-50 stations. Just be ready!
Good luck with it!

| You'll need to have everything barcoded, magnetic stripped and then bolted to the floor. Let's face it, human nature isn't to worthy of trust and things may grow legs and go walkabout! |
