If I recall properly, these folks have gone through a few company names. I think they used to be Fore Systems.
A few years back I purchased their cbt's for ICRC and ACRC. I was just starting my Cisco studies in those days. At the time I was a Banyan Vines guy (CBE/CBI) and an NT guy (MCSE) with a smattering of a few Unixes. I was very disappointed with the material. The presentation was very glizty and appealing but there were many problems with the validity of the content. I forwarded over a dozen screen captures of incorrect information to them over the course of a month. Finally I was at the point where I was asking for some compensation for the shoddy material. They eventually agreed that the material had flaws (how do you disagree with a screen capture?) and said had I complained within 30 days I could have returned the CDs with a full refund. This of course they reminded me at the 5 week mark. I failed my first attempt at ICRC using their material. I was woefully un-prepared although I could ace their practice tests. The exam at the time had lots of material that the courses did not cover. They did send me a exam voucher. I sold the material on eBay and got some of my cost back. They have since called me many times - I think everytime they changed names, (and sales people turn over) trying to get me to buy until I told whoever the unfortunate soul was that in my eyes their reputation preceded them and no thanks. I haven't been contacted in a long time now. However, that doesn't mean their present offerings aren't better............ :-) Kevin Wigle CCDP/CCNP and other stuff............. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jennifer Cribbs" To: Sent: Wednesday, 03 October, 2001 16:54 Subject: smartforce training [7:21933] > Hello, > > I would like some feedback on smartforce training.
