I used http://www.tech-connect.com/

Cost me £2000 I think for MCSE and some Cisco training.

Was classroom based, their are a few that offer you live in and also offer you 6 months employment as well.

I would ideally like to do one where i can learn in my own time then sit the exams as im employed full time this year then net year going back to do my dgree
 
I'm both, but they were paid for by my employer. I attended a course for each exam with a company called Xpertise Training (normally 5 days each, except the client course, which I opted for the 3 day. 5 days of that would drill me :/), and I've been very satisfied with them. Not cheap though (£1500 a course or there abouts).

That's where I go to sit my EMC exams.

You use the one in London?
 
I'm currently doing my MCSA (then onto mcse) I've got my third exam on monday 26th 70-291.

For this and the previous two exams i've just used exam-cram & sybex books (£20-£30) and CBT nuggets videos ($199). I've bought the books myself and my work had the videos.

Its cost me about £150 to pass each exam including the exam price just using home study. Cant have been too bad for my as I got 100% for 70-270 and 97% for 70-290, although i did make a hermit out of myself for about a month each!

One of my colleagues signed up with computeach for the 70-270, they guarantee a pass but have made him sit through about 4 mock tests (which he has to get 90% in) before they release the practice test questions and then make him sit another mock exam before he gets his exam voucher. Its taken him a year and a half before he's booked his exam!

If you can get on the courses then thats a bonus, but they are £1500 each!
 
yeah but a lot of jobs that involve servers also require at least a basic knowledge of the networks that they are likely to be connected to, so a foundation knowledge (ccna) is still a handy thing to have.

do you have any experience to put infront of a ccna/mcsa/mcse?

Yes, but 99% of employers dont seem to count freelancing\self-enterprise as experience...
