"Exceptionally Professional Delivery!!"
Tony Faulkner. (2/2/2009 (Monday) to 15/2/2009 (Sunday))
"The labs, in particular, make this course stand out from other training courses that I have taken. All other courses offer labs, but quite often the student is left to flounder around through the course work to figure out what the required commands are. The student eventually gets the job done, but is left with nothing that can be referred to a week, or a month later.
The instructors labs, in contrast were incredibly well-detailed and presented in a spiral binder. The required steps were all spelled out, making it easy to make notes in the lab books and to refer to those notes and commands in the future, when I am attempting to incorporate this course at work. Test-preparation labs were also provided - when all the steps were not given to the student.
The course could easily be considered to be worth the money - just for the labs."
Keith Terrell, Intergence Systems. (2/2/2009 (Monday) to 15/2/2009 (Sunday))
"I have just finished my CCSP course, and i would say instructor has gone through every single point and cleared all concepts.
Spot on and highly recommended."
Asim Mukhtar. (2/2/2009 (Monday) to 15/2/2009 (Sunday))
"Overall a tough course, lots of material to cover and successful results."
Vernon Grandison, Real Solutions Ltd. (2/2/2009 (Monday) to 15/2/2009 (Sunday))
"I thoroughly enjoyed my Cisco CCSP course and came away with not only a conceptual understanding of the kit, but a good grounding in its application and possible uses."
Steve Wilde, Game Group. (2/2/2009 (Monday) to 15/2/2009 (Sunday))
