i done the BTEC Diploma for Systems Support last year

unfortunately, it was not what i was expecting, it was mainly all networking theory

 

[david334]

the tutor said when i applied for the course there would be a lot of 'network math'

network math would be subnetting its quite easy once you figure out how to do it

We all did a general BTEC in the first year. I'm doing the Support pathway in my second year (next week)

subnetting properly, not 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 like you would do at home, you gotta do VLSM and stuff and then i had to configure it all onto a load of cisco routers

 

[david334]

Ahh i see i am going to enjoy this

its a good course though but heavy on the networking, luckily i was doing a cisco course aswell as the btec, most of the cisco answers were for the btec anyway and cisco just gives you the answers, lol

Finished the BTEC Systems Support 2 years ago. It went well. Enjoyed myself. Make sure you get as many CCNA modules out of it for free as possible

I finished the course in July was a good course but like you all said its all very network based but still not bad, best one out of the 3 to choose!

Yeah I did that course, it was alright but a bit badly organised I got a DDD and a free MCDST

i absolutely hated every networking module in my btec and hnd. I suppose its ok if you're into all that, but i found it the most annoying/boring thing ever. Get out now while you still can If networking doesn't interest you, you will seriously consider suicide in few months time.
