I received a phone call today from a woman named Sondra Smith who is one of their reps. She said I have dropped my name on their site. The website url is http://www.vip.smartcertify.com . Tfhe phone # she gave me is 1-800-653-4933 ext 1264. It is expensive but they have a plan that can be financed through SallyMae Loans which is sort of like a student college loan that can be repayable after you finish classes and after they place you in a job. They have 24hr support for their classes through the format of "chat rooms' that are run by certified instructors that are certified in whatever cert you are currently pursuing, so you get instant replies to questions you might have through the course as you proceed forward. They send out cd's of the materials pertaining to the certs the person wants to achieve and they have job placement in whatever area you live in or where ever you choose to work. That is all I know at this point. I talked to this woman for about 1hr on the phone. It is a forced learning method, which I think is good. You can only advance through the course with satisfactory completion of each subject. You can't skip ahead is what I think this means. She called it force learning. There would be one price for the ccnp series of classes. You would receive the material for all four tests at one time. The same for the mcse and the ccna and the a+. She said they also have oracle and some other stuff which I wasn't really interested in.
If you click on the link I gave you, it opens up a box wanting the sales rep name. Just type in sondra's name and then you can browse a little on their site. I sure there is more to this, but like I said, this is all I know at this point. It nearly sounded too good to be true and you know what they say about that. I was just hoping someone had some personal knowledge of this and could tell me something also. If I do proceed with this, I will let you know what I think after I have personal experience of it. It also is endorsed by cisco and microsoft.....or at least she said so. I just finished putting my computer back together so I can browse back to the site now and read a little. It was maintenance day....[preparing for a+] ....
