Re: Cisco and the Montgomery GI Bill
I know this is an old question, but as I did some research on it as well: Yes, you can use the G.I. Bill (both flavors) with Cisco Training as long as the course is given by an accredited training center. If you are still active duty, you can use Army Tuition Assistance as well, knowing the following restrictions: (This is assuming you are or were Army; I don't know how the G.I. bill supports other branches of service) TA pays for semester hours, not classroom hours. TA CAN be used for technical training taken in a short term environment (i.e., a week class for ACRC, or such), but it converts the classroom hours to semester hours by dividing by 15. I.E., if you take a week ACRC course (Say, 40 classroom hours), you can get 2.67 semester hours of TA. TA normally will pay for up to 75% of tuition; however, there is a cap of approximately $175 per semester hour. (I don't recall the exact figure, but I remember it being in the high $100s). While the $350 assistance might be useful in a Cisco Networking Academy, the only courses offered over here are priced to corporations, not individuals, and still paying $1650 of a $2000 course for personal use is out of my price range. If you are still in the Army, either Active Duty, Reserve / NG, or civilian (GS system), email me. There are some free IT available.

Re: Cisco and the Montgomery GI Bill
Howdy Tom! www.ecc.dcccd.edu/bus-ps/cis/cisframe.htm This takes you to El Centro in downtown Dallas. Then click, Cisco Networking Academy, then click on, "prepare for CCNP" *NEW* I registered yesterday morning! First class day, I'll bring in the Cisco Press BSCN book,(if it's out then) and see what's up. Heard someone say that this takes a long time for certification. So instead of studying routing protocols for two months, and then start class to study same for three more months seems counter productive. So either study for CCDA, or Switching 2.0 for two months before ACRC (:>) starts. Any comments on this course of thinking??? I value the comments alot. Dale CCNA P.S.

Re: Cisco and the Montgomery GI Bill
Dale, Just got a response back from Cisco. You are right, the first semester is based on ACRC. I'm waiting for a response back to my follow-on of when they will update (I hope it's before we start our CCNP program next year.). Of course, much of the information in the old ACRC is still useful for the BSCN exam. BTW, if it was me, I would study for the CCDA while waiting for the CCNP course. After all, it all starts with good design or lack thereof unfortunately.

RE: Cisco and the Montgomery GI Bill
The real trick to doing this is the "legitimate college" part. I taught MS courses at a local college and many of my students were there under the GI Bill. Since it's under the guise of a college curriculum, they had very few problems, except for the typical government red tape stuff you'll have to deal with anywhere. The government doesn't typically care what you take, but rather where or from whom you take it. :-} Rik -Original Message- From: William E Gragido [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, July 23, 2000 9:02 PM To: Brian; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Cisco and the Montgomery GI Bill Good question, I have never heard of it.

Re: Cisco and the Montgomery GI Bill
Unless things have changed, the VA and I went around and around on this one about 2 years ago when I got out of the Navy. There were willing to give me a percentage of the monthly rate (about $400) for the number of weeks I was in training, but considering that most schools are $1500 it wasn't that helpful. If you are in a full time training course for 1 week, you might get about $125. The only thing I think that might be worth it, would be the Networking Academies. Because they are so spaced out, you would be able to get re-imbursed for several months at the part time rate of about $200. That would add up to pay for the course. So the trick is to stretch out the training for as long as possible to get the most months of credit. If you have more time than money, it is ok. But that will take along time to get through 2-3 courses.

RE: Cisco and the Montgomery GI Bill
I did some checking on the va web-site and it appears that this is feasible. http://www.gibill.va.gov/education/FAQ_edu.htm#eleven Follow the link to the FAQ page where you will see: Q. May I use VA education benefits for short-term high-cost programs, such as Novell and Microsoft certification? A. Yes, if the program has been approved for VA purposes. You need to contact the training provider or the VA to find out if it's approved. The number for the VA is 888-442-4551. Unfortunately, if you read on you will see that they cover very little cost. If you go full-time for a week they give you the full time rate for one week. I think the full time rate for a month is around $500 so that would only cover about $125 for a one-week course which typically costs $2000 or more. Regards, Aaron K.

RE: Cisco and the Montgomery GI Bill
Well, that's better than nothing I guess. I guess GI Bill would be best to use on like 4 "college courses" in advanced networking that lasted a semestero well, always trying to make those goverment dollars work. Now if you were "active duty" you could probably use TA to pay for your courses.perhaps.. On Sun, 23 Jul 2000, Aaron K.
