Instructor lead training costs???

[plexer]

Hi all,

 

I've just had an offer of MS training with QCA-IQ at any one of their uk training centres on a microsoft skills licence for 12months.

 

This has come out at a price of £3,600 for 45 days training to be used by 3 of us this year so 15 days training each.

 

That works out to be £80 a day.

 

Is that a good price or just not too bad?

It doesn't seem to bad a price, but ask yourself do you really need the training, or could you do it by buying the books and learning it yourself?

It really depends on which Certs you want to do and what sort of experience you have. If this is 15 days to do the whole of the MCSE then I wouldn't bother as you won't get all the training you need.

 

As Simon said though, do you really need instructor-led training? If not, I can get you a much better deal (low-end three figure sum instead of four figure) for a one year's access on-line course. Doesn't include the exams, but all the course work you need and also tutor support by e-mail.

 

If you're interested, PM me and I'll point you in the right direction. I won't put the details on here as it's for my company and I can't remember the rules on advertising at the mo. If it's allowed, I'll update the post with details.

This is not for doing all of an mcsa or mcse in 15 days each.

 

It's 2 5 days courses covering 2 of the main mcsa requirements a 3 day and 2 day I think.

 

I priced up the 2 options with the first being us buying courseware and then sitting the exams but it's a minefield to find courseware that covers everything.

 

I looked into some of the online ones and I'd only be able to access it at work as I have no Inet at home which would be ok as I don't really want to be taking too much stuff home.

 

It was £3,600 for all 3 of us so £1,200 each.

 

RobC: I'll be in touch

Just checked, my CCNA was £500

 

Its through our local CLC, maybe worth giving them a shout.

You can also use the following account to Atomic Learning for the next couple of weeks for free and you may not need the training course:
