hey there.. again i got nothin against excom.. i went to their "IT Express"
Seminar and found out to be totally useless.. in their standard package, you
get MCP (70-210,70-270) A+ and some helpdesk BS.. and now you tell me, how
the hell you are going to get into market with that kind of qualifications!
there has to be some insider trading between the company and excom. when i
say contract jobs, i mean jobs that last only for 2 or 3 months, does it
really going to help you to get your money you wasted on their courses? i'm
very sure the answer is no.. sure they also have some people working
full-time, but they never mention nowhere, not that i know of, that they
will gurantee a FULL-TIME job!!
ok now to their deluxe package, they teach CNA and MCSA.. now i have done
MCSA in 2 1/2 months and my money went on books.. you would say MCSA is
enough? again the answer is NO! go and look at the jobs that are coming out,
MCSE is first requiremnet.. and i personally think you dont learn that much
in MCSA.. you need to do those design exams..

so how the hell can you get a decent job with that little knowledge? i dont
want to you give a wrong impression of excom to you.. just be sure you are
spending money wisely..


excom charges around 19G to do MCSA (not sure whether it is MCSE/MCSA) along
with a+ and some helpdesk crap
