CompTIA A+/Network+ Certification (7 Days) (8/3/2004 to 14/3/2004)
"The training school system does work for those who are prepared to work every hour the mind and body can take ... be prepared for around 6 hours of sleep each day (if that) ... people call it a boot camp .. I would say more like a brain bank where you gain good interest on your hard work and dedication to the task at hand but very little return if you don't. Be also prepared for the possible let down of an exam failure or the sudden andrenalin kick if you pass."
Derek Hart, self employed.
