IT Training Providers

Can anyone recommend a good training provider, have Googled companies but peoples first hand experience would be great.

Looking to have a "boot camp" style course for VCP 4.1 or 5.1 and my MCITP Systems Administrator.

Work have decided to allocate a training budget so looking for the best cost and decent time scales, travel is possible but obviously a course down London for 4 weeks with only a few hours a week would be no good as I am from Newcastle.

Thanks in advance :cool:

We use Global Knowledge at work. The guys always come back saying they enjoyed the course, it was hard work, but the instructors knew their stuff and covered all the relevant pieces of work.

Global knowledge do virtual classes so you can do them from the comfort of your home if there isn't one near you.

Well if you're looking for boot camp style courses it's likely to be the opposite, 12 hours a day crammed into as short a time as possible

Firebrand and QA have been good for me in the past, Firebrand don't do the VCP but they do the MCITP EA intensive course, takes about 2 weeks I believe.

Computerlinks and Arrow ECS have both been fantastic in my experience.

I've been on some Global Knowledge courses in the past which have been a mixed bag tbh.
