UncleB Member Posts: 417I often get my courses from Groupon which so far have been pretty good value to say the least.
I have no connection (other than I sometimes buy their stuff) but as a few people here have asked, I have summarized some of the certification oriented offers below. Note that I just searched for the keyword "certification" and picked the ones that are recognised IT certs.
Also note that this is on the US site - your own national sites may vary but I always found the US site to be the biggest selection.
Finally, buying on the US site needs a US credit card - BUT I discovered that if you complete it with all your normal details with an overseas card but leave the state as Nevada and put in a zip code of 000000 then it accepts it and the transaction goes through as normal. I bought a training course for another member here recently so can confirm it works on UK credit cards at least. Google this option if you are unsure - there are plenty of TripAdvisor references to it.

tiger95 Member Posts: 1 ■□□□□□□□□□Hi everyone, Been a while. For any of you out theirs, who are still unaware, the Clounu Certification Is no longer available through Rackspace. It has been discontinued has a free certification. Good job to anyone who took the time to get the cloud in the last four years. Not sure why Rackspace got rid of their open certification program. But I heard rumors of there being a new paid certification track that Rackspace will be offering. Also, any cloud will get grandfather into the new program.

krokodilo Member Posts: 25 ■■■□□□□□□□Ruckus Wireless offers the following free certifications:
Ruckus Sales Expert (REx)
Ruckus vSCG 2.5 Sales
Ruckus SPoT Sales
Ruckus SAMs Sales
As previously mentioned here, Ruckus Wireless offers some free certs (can't find the exams though). They also offer free training for them, a list of them is here: https://training.ruckuswireless.com/course/index.php?categoryid=99
I've not completed any of them but I thought I'd at least share it with everyone.
According to this pdf, Ruckus' Introduction to Ruckus Wireless Technologies (ZF101) exam is free. A search at their learning portal brings up Wi-Fi Essentials Online Course, which just happens to be first course on the aforementioned list so one could assume it is that, but I can't find its respective exam.
Getting 70% or better on the Ruckus LAN-WLAN Fundamentals Exam gives you the Ruckus Support Fundamentals Accreditation, which could be the ZF101. Still worth having a go at it, although I imagine most members here would pass without looking at the training though.
