WOW @ £2750!!! - we teach it in Bridgend College for £600 and 30 weeks (1 academic year) @ 3 hours a night. You are from Bridgend Flopsy?

I taught it for 3 years, after passing it myself the year before that.

Not teaching it this year as demand has slipped from 3 groups 3 years ago, to one group this year - and my more experienced colleague is teaching that one group.

Two years ago they introduced practical aspects to the exam, to stop people buying and digesting a book and passing the CCNA.

This is a VERY hard course, and thats with access to all the kit - mainly routers of course.

When we started teaching the CCNA, people were wlking into 30k jobs with the CCNA. Now its CCNA plus experience at this, this etc. like most IT jobs.

Ask any Qs you want matey, but if you really want to do it put yourself down for September - Monday nights 5-9 (first hour non taught).

Better still, open day tomorrow - pop in to J-Block and ask for Ian Jeffery!! 10-2pm btw :)
