Price increase for Net+?

I'm scheduling my test for next Friday, and the price is $225. Am I crazy, or was it not $218 just a few weeks ago? Maybe I'm thinking of something else, but I sure had $218 stuck in my head for some reason. My employer is covering the cost, so it's no big deal, just wondering if they increased it lately.

    I think it's been $235 for a while. The $218 may have been a voucher price?

    I don't know, maybe I was looking at a voucher price. When I got clearance from our IS Director to pay for the test, I told him $218, so hopefully he doesn't flip out about another $7! (He's the Finance Director too, so I'm sure he counts every penny that goes in and out!)

    I took mine on August 21, I paid in Canadian currency, and I dont remember what it was. But it appears on email confirmation stating it was $218USD, so I guess I paid $218.

    But then I had applied my 25% discount from CompTIA IT Pro, so I saved like 50 bucks or something.

    Not sure what the exchange rate but mine was 180UK Pounds. Did think it was quite alot but then again think of it as a cert for life.....180 pound aint much for a lifetime investment!

    $180GBP? icon_eek.gif

    that's like $320USD....more than 50% more than the suggested exam cost in US/Canada.

    Yeah well that's the 17.5% tax that we pay over here kicking in then I guess!

    I think the CCNA is about £120 although I've not booked it yet....It's in that region though!

    Oh yeah plus I can claim it back on expenses from my employer, so it doesn't bother me......whilst in this job anyway!

    The exam price here in the netherlands is 295,12 euros, thats about 352,91 US dollars.

    So I think the netherlands is the most expensive in the whole world icon_sad.gif
