| When I first signed up for this program I was skepticle. After being unemployed for a very long time, I was desperate. I was told that I will be given hotel and flight accomodations as well as a laptop and books to study for the MCSE. I was also told that I would get a income supplement to get me to $25 dallors a hour during the first 30-days of employment. I went to the program in July 2004. To my suprise, everything that I was promised I received. All of my test were paid for. The instructors were excellent. I passed four of my exams on the campus. Suprisingly, I also given 2 years free of distant learning. I'll start studying for my Cisco after I finish my MCSE. My biggest shock came in September, thats when the phone call came in. After years of being unemployed finally a job offer comes in. I was hired because I received my MCSA through NTTAP. This job is paying me $17 an hour and NTTAP is supplementing me an additional $8.00 a hr to get me to $25 hr for the first 30 days, but after that my permanent rate is $17hr,this is a permanent job. $14,995 may sound like a lot of money. I was about an inch of being evicted from my home. I received what they said they would deliver.
All I'm saying is that it wasn't easy, but it is possible......it's alot of hard work.
P.S. I slacked off a little on my studying, but I have just one more test to receive my MCSE. |
