CompTIA A+/Network+ Certification (7 Days) (9/2/2004 to 15/2/2004)
"If you wish to embark on an accelerate program then this may be the option for you. The facilities and resources will provide you with the tools to pass the tests. If you are motivated and have the drive to study in a concentrated period, YOU will pass. I would also strongly recommend that you read any books relevant to the area or study before turning up, `Why struggle through the pain barrier` a little gentle reading before you arrive would allow you to enjoy the surroundings!! Shame I don’t practice what I preach…I done it and passed without prior knowledge on operating systems.
As a seasoned traveler I would equate it to a genuine 4* hotel with the staff on hand to deal with any problems without a fuss. There is a nice swimming pool in the hotel, so I was told….
If it is for you - GOOD LUCK"
