How were you taught CIW Foundations Course.

Was it a teacher who would just lecture, using lecture slides or any other materials.

How did your teacher or instructor teach the CIW Foundations course?

Any help would be appreciated.

I didn't learn from an instructor... I learned from a book.

 

I aquired the level of knowledge required to pass the foundations exam as an unborn foetus.
The hardest bit in the exam is having the hand-eye coordination to use a mouse.



Seriously though, it's not a tough exam.
Just reading a book on the subject should be enough, although there is a danger that you'll over-study.
When the syllabus says you need to know the difference between a router and a switch, it means know the most obvious difference and not anything scientific.

If you've got a fairly rounded knowledge of general I.T.ittery then you should be OK.
I found that the only real challenge was the business fundamentals part as wou had to remember the current ****word for 'a meeting of designers and developers to establish the storyboard layout and customer profile of a website'.

The biggest challenge is that you only get a minute per question, so you don't get much review time.

 

I read the book, passed the exam. It was ok, but as I'm not a web developer per se, not sure it really helped me in any particular manner...

 

Thanks for the replies.

How long did it take you guys to learn all of the material for the Foundation exam?

 

I spent about a month on it.
But it was my first CIW cert, so I massively over-revised and made pages of notes etc.

 

Took a little less than a month for me. I just kinda skimmed through as I already knew and understood a fair bit of what was inside.

YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary)
