    Wow, I would want to ask that question as well.
    Bottom price the year, $900, exam registration fee and guaranteed passing service charge are included, a savings of $100.

    Actually, this site is highly illegal, as you get certification without even knowing anything about Windows 2000 or anything like that. I wouldn't use this site if I were you, however I would recommend using MS Press books from http://www.amazon.com and Transcenders from http://www.transcender.com

    FYI...

    I'm not planning to use this site. I just ran into it doing a google search for CCNA stuff and saw that site and wanted to see what it was. I put the time in and study for my Certs. I don't ****!!!

    How do people get away with putting stuff like this on the web??? crash.gifcrash.gifcrash.gifcrash.gificon_evil.gif

    And what's worst is the people that actually sign up for this crap. IMO...I think that people that sign up for this stuff get banned from taking any kind of Cert. exams if caught permanently. ncool.gifncool.gifncool.gif

    i wasn't suggesting that you would use this site, and yes anyone caught using this site would be de-certified permanently.

    Its a SCAM, check out the payment methods excepted

    Wire transfer
    Western Union
    Credit Card.......but credit card will be declined if over 1000 dollars, well all of the "Certs" except 1 are over a 1000 dollars.

    So you cant even dispute the credit card bill, if you send a wire transfer then it is just gone, not sure if you can recoup a western union or not.

    Smells funny, looks funny and thats what it is..... really funny. But not for the poor sap who falls for it.

    Ive heard about these, there are soon going to be authorised online testing facilities for those who cant get to a testing centre. For example I did a 4 month tour in Iraq and couldnt do my BSCI at the time even though I was ready for it. I think thats what this is.

    It's fairly obvious what's going on here. You pay one, or two, or three grand, and somebody goes and takes the test for you... They're probably working with some proctor at an "aproved" test center. Makes you wonder how long before they're busted (if they'll ever be...)

    If that ever happens its over for certs & there are all worthless. If you can't get to a testing center - too bad, wait. That means any little scrawny, zit faced, lazy ass, no girl getting, **** surfing, screechy voiced computer geek can get certified. God I hope I never see the day. Did I mention I hate cheaters.

    Yeah this is obviously another pathetic scam from a couple of low-lifes from countries were they don't understand the meaning of the words copyrights, trademarks, and the laws that should protect them or are just not present. These are the same people who sell the fake Rolexes and Nikes. I think the authorities there don't understand the actual danger of people running around with fake certs that still may actually mean something to companies. But as long as you see those fake Rolexes and fake "Lord of the Ring" - rings, there will be sites running scams like this. I know it is unrealistic at the moment, but it sure would be nice to have some global rules on the web...

    Makes you wonder if sooner or later, Microsoft and Co. might start setting up honeypot **** sites to catch would-be paper MCSEs.

    I didnt mean any old person could do it at home, I meant that colleges, schools etc will soon be able to host exams, and they are going to make allowances for people like myself who could sit the exam in Iraq under exam conditions supervised by an education officer, same as we can with other courses such as A-Levels etc.

    I didnt mean any old person could log on and have 50 attempts at the exam.

    After looking at the site I realised it is SCAM, notice that you cant used a credit card over $1000, yet they are all over $1000 so you have to do wire transfer!! yeah right! people shouldnt be allowed to host that sort of website

    I understand & agree, I was not directing anything in your direction.
  • wildfirewildfire Member Posts: 654

    Considering the unreliable crappy workstations I have seen at a few venues that isn't a bad idea - be a lot chaeper too.
