If you are the kind of person like me, where you like to be challenged and work hard, and not be around slackers, I would skip the "Academy." If you have some money, just buy some routers. This works really well if you know people who you can rely on for help. I don't think employers really care about the diploma. When I did the "Academy," I had several different teachers and they all gave us the answers to the exam BEFORE we took it. Not real high standards of excellence. It's a joke.
