Just wanted to gather some facts and figures, rather than opinions and experiences here. So the title says it all...

What Training Provider do you or have you used, if any, or have you gained your certs purely through self-study ?

Obviously I can't possibly include every conceivable training provider in the choices, but hopefully you'll find the main UK-based companies here (if you've studied overseas, please let us know too). More importantly in this will be the "Other" option - please elaborate where possible.

EDIT: This poll is multiple choice, so please give as much info where possible.

Thanks to all for your cooperation

Oops, only clicked self study lol

At the moment, I'm going the self study route, which i must say I'm liking, although I do find it hard to get motivated sometimes.

I did my CCNA through the Cisco NetAcad, which I also enjoyed, and i would recomend for anyone going the Cisco route.

Done MCSA thru NITLC and doing MCSE through them too...Upgrading to MCSA 2003 off my own back tho...

I had to say "other" since I went for the two year course in Computer Network Support at my local college.

 

I self studied all of my certs, too tight to pay somebody else to make me study

 

And also bright enough not to need the additional support.

 

Dear All,

I am using a company called Azlan for my IT Training. This was not out of personal choice I hasten to add.

The company I work for have always used them.

I must admit that I find their instructor lead courses to be very very good indeed but then again, I cannot really compare against others !

Anyway, if anyone is interested in Azlan then you can visit them at : http://www.azlan.co.uk

Regards,

Steve

 

Nice one Steve - thats a new one on me. Thats partially the point of this Poll - to find out just what exactly the "other" options are out there amongst you

 

Used National IT Learning centre but am currently going to a night class at the local college (Paid for by Employer).

 

I'm trying the self study route but I'm also looking at a training provider called Digicomp here in Switzerland.

 

I studied my original MCSE through a company no longer in existence (due to them sucking probably)
I did my future Microsoft and Comptia stuff self studied, and i did all of my Cisco stuff though a company called NetLogic consulting in north london, they were great, top bunch of people, but not your 5k a course with the facilities to match bunch like interquad and parity, great none the less

 

Just started with Advent........and it looks like according to your poll i am the only one so far....

 

Hi all,

Ok so I will own up I used ICS......what can I say price was roughly £550 for A+ & Network+ course (No exam fees) thought it was quite expensive till I saw what others have paid.

Even though dont seem to get alot for that money.
On the plus side course content seems good as I passed the OS exam, and almost all of the exam content was covered by the course.

But probably could have bought loads of books for that amount that cover a few courses...

Studying with the Computer Training College in Hertfordshire but doing home study!

Personally I use InterQuad ;)

For self study Learnkey, Netg, Sybex and Books 24x7

 

Not that you're here to advertise the firm you work for

 

What is it with you people

 

Just curious, Sarah. What are you currently studying?
