Hi Everyone,

Due to health problems, I have to look for a new career, working from home and with flexible hours. Having some knowledge of, and a lot of admiration for IT, I did some introductory courses through Learndirect and have decided to have a go at programming/software development to MS accreditation standard.

Like a lot of newbies, I have user experience and a little bit of database management and language awareness. I need to know what, where, when, how etc. with regards to training, and have started reading up on Computeach and NITLC.

Are these the only providers of Microsoft/Cisco accreditations? I haven't been able to find any others that seemed reputable.

Sorry for the epic intro - short and snappy was never my style.

Cheers for now

Michael

Hi Michael, and thanks for joining out place.

As for opinions on training providers, out Training & Development Forum is the place for you to start off...both companies are reputable, although some Members have experienced "issues" with their providers in the past.

Hope you manage to stick around - your more than welcome

 

Hi there michael, Welcome to Certforums. Please feel free to ask another questions that you might have.

Welcome

Andy

 

Welcome to Certforums michael. There are a few people around here who are on programming courses, hopefully they may be able to point you in the right direction

 

Greetings, Michael. Welcome to CertForums. Glad you found us. Hope you like the place. Let us know how we can be of help.

 

Erm, fourth, m8 ???

 

wow, the welcome committee is quick off the mark tonight

 

Welcome to the forum Michael. As Phil mentioned the welcome comittee is in full swing tonight. It just goes to show that not many of us have real lives.

 

Hello and thanks for you welcomes. Just two quick ones:-

1) What is "lol"?
2) Has anyone noticed that, on the smiley list, comprehensive as it is, the original "smiley" is missing? This is an outrage. Heads must roll. etc etc. Or is it that I'm just too old for this game?

 

lol= laughing out loud

 

Have a quick look HERE for an answer to your first question,

Second, what, in the great scheme of things, is the original smiley - one of life's great imponderables, to remain forever unanswered...sorry m8, must have lost it in the last clean-up

 

AJ? Your a bit slow tonight, whats up LMAO!

 

He was a minute behind Gav in hitting the "submit" button. Either that, or admins have the little known ability to switch the order of posts so they can always give the correct answer first. ;)

BTW (by the way), the "wink" emoticon seems to be missing too, as does the "tongue". ;) :P

 

Welcome to CF, it seems you've started an smiley war already.

Stick around and maybe I'll find you all the smileys you will ever need.

 

You mean here, Trip ?

: wink : [minus spaces]

HTH

 

Smart@zz. Guess I've been trying ;) all this time when I should have been using



Think I found "tongue", too.
