I've been looking into distance learning for a while, As I'm in full-time work, And find it hard to find courses such as CCNA that run on weekends.
I had Computeach at my house last night, Asking me for nearly £5650 to put me through IC3 > COMPTIA A+ > CompTIA Networking+ and CCNA.
Now I told him, I just wanted CCNA, but he said it came as a package, And the best he could do, was take CompTIA Networking+ out of the package and offer me it at £4750.
Now as a person, The sales man was nice, but I'm sorry, The things he said to me made him out to be a blatant liar, Who is obviously used to talking to people without any prior computer knowledge. Talking about how England have had computers for 160 years, We've been developing the internet since Victorian times! And he also let us know that he could be a millionaire if he wanted to be he just didn't want to follow that path in life yet.
He was also kinda racist! Going on about how black people make up 98% of all crime in Britain, He was quite adamant about that being statistical fact and not just speculation. He also told us, Him and some friends bought an old dinted Nova, and used to go around the streets ramming young boy racers, in order to stop them speeding and causing accidents. He says their actions were condoned by the Nottingham police force too, and 2 people in the car were actually part of the Nottingham police force (all hush hush of course)

back on topic of Computeach and computers, Apparently, Computeach are the ones who developed the CCNA program, and the new MCSA. They made Microsoft re-develop their training material, and then Computeach retrained Microsoft Tutors in the new course material.
He also told us, That Bill Gates was forced to resign as head of Microsoft ( to be honest, I don't remember why exactly, because I'd started the phase quite a lot of the bull leaving this guys mouth ) He said it was very hush hush again, and only the MS leaders really knew about this. He is now apparently working for MS as Director in name only.
Anyway, This is just a summary of the things I was told last night. I heard lots more. Most of which again was bull. How can a Sales person, for a company as large as Computeach get away with this sort of thing, He was more or less blaggin me out of £5000, With lots of blatant lies and dodgy statistic.
I will definitely not be even looking at going with Computeach, because they seem very untrustworthy, I know the acts of 1 salesman can't reflect a business, But after he left, I had a look on the internet at various review sites, and it seems that the majority of people see them as a scam. Very worrying considering i probably only saw through his lies because I know a lot about the world and technology. My girlfriend who was sat with me throughout the meeting, was ready to sign away £5000. It's quite scary.
