I think part of the problem with Cisco qualifications is that practically every further eduction college in the country offers the CCNA course. This has lead to a kind of MCSE-ification of the qualification i.e. tons of people about with the cert and little or no experience.
Sadly if you just did the CCNA a 20-25K permie job sounds about right at the moment

The only real growth in networking is VOIP, and you would need to sit 7 exams (CCNA, CCNA Voice, CCVP - 5 exams) to get a decent rate, plus many won't touch you without experience. You would probably find it quite easy to get an entry level perminant role with the CCNA though (20-25k pa).

It won't turn you into a Slumdog Millionaire if that's what you're hoping.

I would say for most training, you should be sure of landing a role soon after you have completed the training, otherwise you will forget most of what you have learnt if you don't use it. i.e. waste of money.

Being on the bench I am thinking of pursuing this avenue to get trained into smething different in the meantime.
Any positives/feedback from the forum on using this training provider? (Apart from some warm weather)
I want to do a bootcamp of some sort, but would probably look at Firebrand instead and pay more money for it.
