I think you misread their guarantee claims! I just enrolled with them and
began my stage 1 a little over a week ago. First, this is not your typical
training program. You were correct in your earlier assertion that you pretty
much already must know this material in advance.

What I find disingenuous about the process is that they don't inform just
how brutal the whole program can be for someone like myself who hasn't had a
job in the IT industry for over 5 years! Even with my recent graduation from
college, as the old saying goes, if you don't use it, you lose it! Well,
long story short, they have over 1,000 pages of material to review in the
first 2 weeks that are geared to prepping you for your written CMNA exam.
Even if you pay for this exam, they do not guarantee you will pass it! That
is left up to you, and believe me, I'm having serious doubts as to just how
capable I actually am of passing any of the other stated certifications!

In a nut shell, if I don't do well in the Stage 1 of the program, I'm out
over $1500 and with no guarantee's that I will have any certifications! I
should have known better, especially when it sounded to good to be true! I
could have spent less than half this amount with a similar on-line
certification preparation group called QUICK CERT, and get this, QUICK CERT
has a money back guarantee that if you do not achieve your desired
certifications they will reimburse the entire cost of their programs.
Because I'm affiliated with the government I received a 50% discount offer!
That was the program I should have went with, but being the stubborn person
that I am, I picked the harder less practical choice.

Wish me luck! If the first 2 weeks are any indication of what to expect,
then the last 6 weeks will probably be the worst of my life!!!!

Anyone else out there attempting to get their IT certifications without
having to chop off your hands in order to do it? I'd be interested in
hearing your story!

Peace Out!

Chris
