* Am I eligible to apply under the SLG?

Yes you are if you meet all the requirement set by psmb... like grad in IT/CS and has been unemploy for 6 months and above...

* In your opinion, which certification should I take considering that I am a fresh IT graduate. Personally, I prefer Cisco.

this is a question which you have to ask yourself... see which path which filed you are more interested in and would like to go for as your career path in coming future... Yes someone can tell you this is good and so and so... but if your interest is not there, no point going after is as well.... All 3 MCSE CCNP and LSA has its advantages. If you are into hardware networking then CCNP might best suit you... MCSE as its name suggested, you will learn all about Microsoft's product, like XP, Server 2003, and etc etc... LSA which is Linux System Administrator is also demanding in the current market... So if you are into unix here's a good start.

* Which training centre that is recommended?

No specify center but just make sure you choose wisely... I have heard center with "read-from-slide" trainer, and etc... Usually good training center will have tons of praises either in word of by mouth...

* How to apply for the certification course under SLG?

All you need to apply SLG are
- Look for a training center
- Certified true copy all your photocopy documents
- and not to forget submit application form ASAP...
here is a link which might come handy

www.hrdnet.com.my

yes, all courses apart from CCNP

apply using higher diploma? for which course? LSA, MCSE yes... CCNP need deg in CS/IT and unemployed for 6 months... just act fast if really interested as psmb need 1 month to process your application...

sad to say but yeap you are not qualify to go for the CCNP, but still eligible for MCSE / LSA... Don't view these cert lightly as each of em carry certain value in it...

Documents needed are 1 photocopy of
- SPM
- Deg / Dip cert
- RHB / BSN front page and a copy on updated balance
- IC front and back
- Passport sized photo
- Application form

yeap only RHB or BSN, maybe in a way it is easier to manage when come to the time to bank in allowance to us, and some other reason... who know... only psmb know why... but no prob with that... just get an account like what i did... rm50 can open an acc with bsn alr... so no big deal...

MCSE and MCSA is the same... it just like your higher diploma and degree... before you can get MCSE, you need to go through MCSA...  ...
MCSE there are 7 papers... once you passed any of these papers, you will be entitled a Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP)...  ...
you will be entitled a Microsoft Certified System Administrator (MCSA) if you passed four of these 7 papers...  ...
for sure you will need to pass all of these 7 papers to get yourself a title of Microsoft Certified System Engineer...  ...

Im doing CCNP in TrainPro, well it is a good place to learn I must say, as it has all DELL p4 pc, and LCD screen too Despite that they do have very well trained trainer to conduct the class. Trainer are friendly and helpful...

but for your info, trainpro has close its intake for this oct batch on both CCNP and MCSE. TrainPro decided not to continue with this SLG thing and this will be the last batch... For SLG you might need to apply else where... IMS is recommended for CCNP and as for MCSE might want to look in GV or Info Trek... Staff there told me that for MCSE to simulate some server-client environment if they have p4 pc then student no need to share pc, can run some virtual memory application to simulate it out. In other word student get more hands-on exercise on it, instead of you do server I do client simulation... that's what's im being told....

Hope these info help!!

GV = Guidance View
It is located in mid valley city (boulevard MVC) as well...
for more info bout GV you can ask lyk or davetoh... they are both studying there...
