I'm originally from Trinidad and Tobago and like phil we have no BS or eve
MS programs. What we do take is CXC and then GCE(A levels). In my previous
life I was very good in Technical drawing and Design. Something about
architectural and geometric line that really got my fancy. Well after
getting 5 2's in CXC and going on to A levels and getting 3 A's I must admit
pursuing the CCIE is comparable.
Is there anyone in the group with first hand knowledge that can speak on the
comparison of CXC and GCE(A levels) as compared the a BS or MS program.
Nigel..
