It drives me mad that this xxx#! IT Training company think they can fool US!
I have put out this thread to warn those who may be looking to get into IT to look before they leap!

Just search on the internet and you will see all you need to about these companies (apart from skills4more, who, of course are new and so have no Google page rank but are advertising on pay per click)

I have known victims of both Scheidegger Training (who changed their name due to huge negative exposure to rebrand as Skills Train)

The above featured on watchdog twice now once a Scheidegger Training and now as Skills Train! And every time they just re-brand.

Well my friend here is a heads up! I have looked at the structure and design of both www.skillstrainuk.com and this new site: www.Skills4more.co.uk and there is no doubt that Scheidegger/Skills Train are at it again!

Don't take my word for it; check out these domains for yourselves. I have noticed MANY obvious code/design parallels but have only listed a few as I do not want them to totally elude us when they try this trick again!

1 - If you check out the Whois registrar, you will see that BOTH domains are registered by:
Jan Telensky: JT Consultancy Ltd
At the SAME ADDRESS!

Good Luck Friends

 

You can argue with the BBC then!

What is the issue with the links?
There is after all a hyperlink tool but I, and my collegues have used this stuff and found they helped. I have not recomended any sites that sell illegal material!
If you think other members would rather get no links to sites that we have found useful then, I will remove them on your advice.

 

P.S.
I am recommending college, exam prep and online training options, not just brain dumps.
Would you recomend Scheidigger, sorry -Skills Train, er no I mean Skills 4 More then?

 

Aaah,
You try and help and you end up more frazzled than when the emporor zapped me in Return of the Jedi.
I have removed my recomemded links for books, online and test prep training and if anyone needs help...use the force!
My recommendations were well informed as I have worked for several IT Training companies over the years as a teacher and now I am involved in other general freelance work.

 

You have worked for 'several IT Training companies over the years as a teacher'... and advocate the use of braindumps to pass exams?

Jesus wept.

 

NO!
I do not recommend Brain Dumps as they give you no real training!
the Test King stuff, I have found, is good for mock exam testing AFTER your training.
Any good IT Guy will know that, my links are just for general help!


The sales agents that Skills train employ have to earn their commission and so use pressure, and invariably increase the cost of their courses! The companies above do not use these methods and so offer a better value. e-careers.co.uk for example offer Live Labs not simulated ones! And justit.co.uk refuse to sell courses to those who they feel are not up to the task. You can't get much better than that!

 

This is the second time you have mentioned ecareers, as certforums is a popular forum we are vulnerable to people trying to increase their SEO with backlinks by spamming certforums. I'd advise a mod to remove all the links personally.

These posts just serve to boost the ranking of dubious sites.

 

Jesus.

What planet are you on?
Yeh - TK, awsome exam prep!

Are you one of these hard done by students?
You come across as some old granny who has seen something 'shocking' on TV that they don't understand and then just started ranting about it.

 

OK,
The whole point of this thread is simply to advise people that Skills Train / Scheidegger / Skills4more.co.uk are all the same company.
The Skills Train Brand was removed from Google pay per click links and the phoenix; skills4more emerged following a damming BBC Watchdog report after a flood of complaints about Skills Train!

Is this a valid point for all those vulnerable people to be aware of?

 

No it is not a good mock up exam, it is the real stuff. Even if you say you use it only to test if you are ready, you still work with previous knowledge. Even if you say you just use it as a way to prepair for the exam, you are cheating.
If for example there is no question in TK on working with kerberos, you wil not study kerberos, although it is needed for the examspecs. Using TK is learning what is asked and not what you need to know.

 

I think you would want to change you quoted text. No use to remove to links in the original if you quote them in your post.

 

Phew, thanks job done...in a round about way

Any ideas on good exam prep material?
NOT, brain dumps or "cheating test stuff" just stuff for some of my new team members (they are all MCP's) I will be using EC for Labs and online courseware but would like to give them some extra help. Little time for college unfortunatly.
