    Thanks everyone.

    I have a massive amount to learn in this new role. The thing I'm most pleased about is someone willing to take a chance on me and invest in training, especially in this economic climate.

    It has all already been said, but going to add my voice anyway - superb stuff Craigie. You've studied like a madman to get where you are, and it really is inspirational stuff. Your study reviews for the exams you have done are fantastic, and I look forward to reading your "journey" this year :)

    No need for the grump emoticon - Craigie has been quite open about his 2 hour a night every night study methods, home labs, and being able to study at work. Do a search on some of his posts - they make interesting reading.

    Well done Craigie!
    Did you start with a 1st line support role?
    It Looks like you have heavely certified within the last year and put yourself in a great position which completely contradicts many opinions on CF, which advise to avoid over-Certification with only short periods of experience.
    just wanted to get some feedback on your route to date 8) (and eagerly awaiting your journey overview)

    I can't comment on Craige's position as I don't know what his experience is, but the advice still holds true for the vast majority. Over certification for your experience level is a bad thing, not a good thing.

    Congrats btw matey, sounds like a great opportunity.
