    Have a mooch through the search list Raff gave you, to get a good overall view.

    The general 'ness' of Skillstrain seems to depend on the course you take with them.

    I have heard numerous bad things about the CIW course, its dated content and silly restrictions on when you can take your exams. I however am doing their CiscoPro course, and am not having any real problems whatsoever.

    The one thing you have to keep in mind though, is why are you looking at Skillstrain? If you have a little IT experience and the wherewithall to give it a go, most people on this site advocate self studying - buy the books, get an old PC and go for it. We have many members who have suceeded on this 'tried and tested' method, and it's usually phenomenally cheaper, too.

    Hy there pinkfluff hope your ok ! Yep I could not agree more, as I have taken the TP route and i am now self studying and I find the latter to be more enjoyable and a few quid cheaper. I completed my CIW foundations with scheidegger training and I did not have any real problems as such, just a bit boring :dry

    But it depends on what you want I suppose, just take your time and have a look at all the options that are open to you and go for it. Good luck by the way with your studies :biggrin

    C :D
