With the number of members on the increase (up to 15 per day) I was just wondering how people found the forum.

I found CF through a roundabout way. I bought a magazine (now called Windows IT Pro), jumped on their website, found a link to another certification site, and then a friend posted a link to here, and now they can't get rid of me.

 

As above, I met SimonV whilst with Nitlc, and felt a certain idea he had at the time might just have some potential......

 

I was lurking on another US based Cert site when somebody posted a link. The UK spin to the site made a refreshing change so I stuck around

 

I'm pretty much the same as Phil on this one, was lurkin on another site, and heard about a UK site. Couldn't resist.

 

I seem to remember a certain NITLC tutor telling my XP workshop class about Sandy and Co starting an unofficial IT Cert type forum!

After that I visited a link posted by Gav in the NITLC forums about cetforums...but it was all in it's embryonic stage back then...

and then I completly forgot about it untill a google search on certification brought the site up! After a while I put 2 and 2 together and realised it was the same forum run by Gav etc...

And that was that!

I had contacted NITLC to enquire about the MCDST certification, when they phoned me back the sales rep/instructor told me about the forum. I spent some time nosing around as a guest, before joining. Thanks to the info in the various threads, and the replies from other members I'll be starting the A+ certification next month. So the forum has already helped to get my arse in gear.

 

i was boring. i just found it by searching around on the net until i stumbled across it!

(bet they wish i hadnt now, lol)

 

Person on another forum mentioned it and suggested I stop by. That's right when Si first created the thing. I started posting and was hooked.

 

I was googling around for some decent cert forums last jan after i was made redundant and had decided to up my skills, this one popped up, and its the only one i ever visit now, the others all paled in comparison :/

im with you ferg, bet they wish i hadnt ;)

 

Well I was bored one evening and wondered what the heck can I do with the free web space, SQL database and php support that came with my ISP connection. I'll build a forum I thought....the rest as they say is history.

 

This probably hasn't been said enough, but thank you Si. While I like to think of CertForums as a team effort, without your vision, it wouldn't even exist. Kudos.

 

I am hoping to do a course with NITLC and searched the web to see if anyone had a site that actually said anything about them as a training provider. I will be handing over a lot of money to them and I wanted to check them out first so to speak. Saw this site, looked good so I saved it to my favourites and signed up.

Hopefully I will be able to start my MCSE course soon.

 

Hi Laura and thanks for dropping by. When you get a moment drop by the new members forum and tell us a bit about yourself.

 

I would also like to thank SimonV for starting this great site!

CertForums has a wealth of information for those interested
in IT and hoping to find an IT job(like me).

 

I was searching for a CCNA boot camp and came across this kewl forum

 

I was threatened with bodily harm by two current members if I didn't join. LOL

 

Liar. You were threatened with having your nose duct taped to your toes if you didn't join.

 

Which is bodily harm. Now, who do we know who has a duct tape fetish?

Hmmmmm........

 

It's only bodily harm when you try to take the tape off. Extra points if you've got a lot of body hair.
