Cisco CCNA Certification (6 Days) (28/1/2008 to 2/2/2008)
"The content and week was very busy, it definately taught me about the course I was there to learn about, but more importantly it taught me about myself. The environment is carefully geared towards students studying and achieving the best results. The ammount of content is mind blowing, and is a feat to fit a whole CCNA in 4 day of teaching, but the tutor did it, and taught me - with no Cisco experience enough to pass the course."
