Review the facts below very carefully if you believe that old marketing ploy of an 'Exam Guarantee' sounds great value:

Patently it's not free - you're still being charged for it - it's just been included in your package price. It's everybody's ambition to qualify on the first attempt. Progressively working through your exams one at a time and funding them one at a time has a marked effect on pass-rates - you put the effort in and are conscious of what you've spent.

Isn't it outrageous to have to pay the college at the start of the course for exams? Find the best deal you can when you take the exam, rather than pay marked up fees - and do it in a local testing centre - not at somewhere of their bidding. What's the point in paying early for exam fees when you didn't need to? Huge profits are made by companies charging upfront for all their exams - and then hoping that you won't take them all. Most companies will insist that you take mock exams first and prohibit you from re-taking an exam until you've completely proven that you're likely to pass - which makes an 'Exam Guarantee' frankly useless.

Paying maybe a thousand pounds extra on 'Exam Guarantees' is foolish - when hard work, commitment and the right preparation via exam simulations is what will really guarantee success.

A proficient and specialised consultant (vs a salesperson) will ask questions and seek to comprehend your current situation. This is vital for establishing your starting point for training. Often, the starting point of study for a trainee with some experience will be massively dissimilar to someone without. Commencing with a user skills program first will sometimes be the most effective way to start into your computer training, depending on your current skill level.

Moving on from your 'CCNA', you will find many specialist qualifications out there. You could possibly get into wireless technology, or security, or maybe actually on to the Cisco Certified Networking Professional ('CCNP'). It's not a good idea to contemplate taking the CCNP unless you've fully accomplished the 'CCNA'. Achieve your CCNA & get a job with Cisco networks for 12 to 24 months prior to moving on to any kind of 'CCNP' training program. However if you have already been in I.T. for some time, and have previously acquired a qualification that compares to the 'CCNA' (e.g. whilst in the military) you might possibly move straight to CCNP. In essence, if you are starting up in I.T., no boss will be expecting you to have got to such a high level of certification, & could rightly question your real comprehension, if you haven't even worked in a 'CCNA' job first.
