I cannot give enough praise to The Training Camp. I just got back from their Pennsylvania facility a few days ago. I took the MCSA course. It was one of the most enriching experiences of my life. The classes definitely focus on passing the exams. But you can't really pass the exams without knowing what you're doing. I have virtually no network admin experience, but I still did well in the course. I learned how to manage a network as well as how to pass the tests. The instructors at The Training Camp literally write the books that you'll find in the computer section of all the major bookstores. Check out this article about the publishing accomplishments of the instructors. http://www.techtrain.com/us/press_release.asp?id=4 8 One of those trainers, Andrew Whitaker, was asked by Cisco to try to hack into their network and then write a book about it. Cisco isn't going to ask just anyone to do that. Another instructor not mentioned in that article is Steve Kalman. Interview and background info on him here http://www.net-security.org/article.php?id=410. He teaches the CEH and CHFI courses at TTC. In addition to having nearly 40 years in the computer field, he is also an attorney. So he's an authority on computer laws. Still another instructor who has published is Roger A. Grimes. Articles by him here http://www.windowsitpro.com/Authors/AuthorID/1293/ 1293.html. Honored by Microsoft as a Most Valuable Professional http://www.trainingcamp.com/us/press/pr_02_05_04.a sp. The Training Camp is the only place for me. You won't be disappointed if you go there. It's worth every penny.
