Hi all,
(I know we have had a lot of these threads latley, so my apologies in advance, but here goes...)
I will be starting my computer science degree in september, obviously im well aware that the degree on its own doesnt get you a decent starting job these days.
With this in mind I have chosen a 4 year course with a years placement, so I will graduate with both a degree in computer science and 12 months experience.
But I also want to do either an MCSE or CCNA on the side while I am at uni before I graduate to make my prospects even better. I have decided on the CCNA as it is more relevant to the area that I wish to be in.
I have found a college that runs a CCNA course, 2 evenings a week and takes about 10 months to cover it, costing £450 which can be payed off in monthly installments. (Link Here)
I know lots of people say buy the books and do it yourself, but Im not all that confident about doing that to be honest. I think I would learn better in the classroom, but those who have done it, feel free to tell me otherwise.
So 2 questions:
1) Should I take the CCNA while I am at uni?
2) Should I pay that price and go to the classes?
Cheers
