Well.... depends on where/who you're teaching I guess. Some people/organizations want/demand certified courses taught by certified instructors. There is a market for non-certified courses which of course don't need a CCSI. However, if you're teaching a course that has been represented as a Cisco certified course with Cisco certified materials and you're not a CCSI - then someone has the right to be "concerned". Also, Cisco won't be too impressed either. If however, you're teaching how to configure a Cisco router and all the materials were authored by yourself or another third party - then that's ok as long as the students know that the course is in no way connected to Cisco (except of course that you're using Cisco routers). On one contract I taught both certified and non-certified Banyan courses. The certified courses went to those who needed to re-certify (Banyan required certified courses to certify or re-cert) and the non-certified went to those who needed basic knowledge and weren't concerned with certification. Without knowing your exact situation, I can't say if a CCSI is needed. Kevin Wigle ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andy Barkl" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Bradley J.
