Interesting... looks good. Seems they are now offering a free CCNA lab with each course. Not mention they offer the CCNA library as part of the course, which I have previously bought for approx. £50

Are you going to be training in Manchester or London?

Andy

That's incredible value.

I paid 160 *2 and 276 * 2 for 4 * 13 weeks of ccna instruction at a local college.

Had to buy lab on top of that (£400)
to £1000+ not inc exam fees

Benefits are continued access to curriculum and also can use lab for routing ADSL etc.

I've completed and passed all the components to CCNA 1 - 4. I missed on the voucher exam because of various reasons so it looks like I'm not going to be able to afford to complete the actual qualification any time soon (can't afford it). Sods law really.

At least I didn't have to pay for it (well...it's a part of my university course).

I've been told (could be a lie) that if you do NVQ 4 and 5 that you get CCNA and MCSE in with all that... plus it doesn't cost ANYTHING (Except a shed load of time!)

Hi I am going on the Commsupport Course in Manchester on the 17th of August

I will let you know how I got on. So for so good, I went to see them on the free one day courses that they hold, just to make sure that it's real, the instructor basically took us over basic networking all the way to routing, quite interesting, I hope the course is as good as the one day course.

Anyway will let you know how I got on.

Default Passed CCNA Yesterday !!!!

Just thought I would post here to say that I passed my CCNA.

I passed with 973, not bad. I did the Course with Commsupport in August but due to family and work commitments I let things slip.

I rettended the CCNA at Commsupport in Manchester last week on the free retake and yesterday I passed, woo-hoo. What can I say. Nice work guys.

Thanks guys keep up the good work and thanks for fixing my busted home router
