Renew every year...wow...enpensive or not?

I feel quite weird...if i do networking, why mostly every jobs oso do contract one? What is the benefits doing contract or permanent?

Correct PSMB will have this 'interview' session... but nothing much... only a few question like why didn't work, why wanna take this course, etc etc... as for me he didnt even ask a single question... not to mention not even a word out from his mouth during my 'interview' session

After the course, training center have to make sure each of its student get attach to any IT company for the training.... most company are planning to take trainee as permanent staff after the training period...

which center is better? Hmm.. for MCSE or CCNP you can try calling TrainPro... not sure if they are still running SLG... but just give em a call...

Yeap for certification course there is an 'expire date' because technology wise are changing rapidly. Once expire you will need to sit for the exam again to renew your cetification license.. CCNP per paper will cost you USD150 which is around RM600...

Contract? Less benefit but should be slightly high pay. Permanent? Better benefit maybe...

no offence, k? just a 2 cents of mine..
actually, we shouldn't have these kinda mindset. certification = guaranteed job...
even though it is a fact that most employers tend to employ someone with pro certification than someone who doesn't. if we purely think that cert will give me lots of job opportunities, what we learn during the course are not based on our interest and therefore, we learn for the sake of the cert and not for the knowledge itself. nevertheless, it has been one of my reason for taking mcse course but it's not the priority but i want to learn something new and want the employer hire me because of my knowledge and skills rather than just a certification and a limited skills and knowledge.

cheers~

What i know is trainpro still got offers CCNP under the SLG program, but by now i think they run out of places.

MCSE course at guidanceview is officially full, as my friend joined last minute

I agree what wsso says, go for a prof cert if u interested in that particular field, coz having such cert will be a big added advantage in ur career. If someone decides to go to the path of system programming, having a programming cert like Sun Java Programming Cert or Microsoft Certified System Develop (MCSD) simply helps alot.

wahh travis bring his gang to GV di...guy or girl??haha

hi, i graduated with an IT degree and am currently working. planning to upgrade my skills by taking mcse cert, but don't wanna take up the class. thinking of doing self learning and then register for exam when ready. Anyone can advise me with the best books to buy for mcse, and maybe anyone has 2nd hand books for sale. I prefer if anyone wants to sell the whole mcse kit. thanks...pls pm or sms me. 0126375253

most ppl would not recommend u to do so.. because the exam is not based on the book.. it's more like a life-example.. it would be recommended to attend the course as it deals with a lot of practical which u can't learn from books..

unless u have the full equipments or setup in ur home..

thanks for the advise. but still, i'm looking for the books. anyone has 2nd hand books for sale..good ones..do make an offer. thanks

For clarification..

Basic CISCO is CCNA.. which valid for 3 years....

which after that you have to retake CCNA or upgrade to CCNP

next if you have CCNP its valid for 3 years as well

which after that you have to retake CCNP or upgrade to CCIE...

As for CCIE im not aware whether it has 3-year licence or not...

Same goes to MCSE which I dont think has expiry period...

If i just graduated from university, can i take CCNP first? Or i have to take the CCNA first? What u all think of cosmopoint...this institution ok?

hey, forgot your senior lyk already huh?... ...

heard from my friends, SQL 2005 had been launched already... i got my MCDBA but it is SQL 2000... ...

the pre-requisite for applying for CCNP is having CCNA... thus I dont think Uni cert qualify you as having CCNA

Why SLG is offering CCNP for undergraduate? But the requirements for CCNP in SLG is 6 months unemployed, CGPA above 2.5...but didn mention about CCNA...

How much if i wanna take CCNA on my own?

canny:
The ccna course is included inside with ccnp as well.

Btw , just received the winxp pro book frm my center, man the book is soo thick the bible also lose to it

Anyone study CCNA or CCNP at Penang? PLz tell me about ur institution? How much does it cost for CCNA?

CCNA cost around RM2000 in kl. but i'm not sure about penang.

IF i work as Technical support, What cert should i take...CCNP or MCSE?

Supporting MS Server / Windows? then MCSE
Supporting Linux? then LSA
Supporting Network? then CCNP

Well said wssoo
Btw, when is the time PSMB will bank in our allowance?
