"Exceptionally Professional Delivery!!"
Tony Faulkner. - Cisco CCNA Security & CCNP Security (17 days) (2/2/2009 to 15/2/2009)
"The labs, in particular, make this course stand out from other training courses that I have taken. All other courses offer labs, but quite often the student is left to flounder around through the course work to figure out what the required commands are. The student eventually gets the job done, but is left with nothing that can be referred to a week, or a month later.
The instructors labs, in contrast were incredibly well-detailed and presented in a spiral binder. The required steps were all spelled out, making it easy to make notes in the lab books and to refer to those notes and commands in the future, when I am attempting to incorporate this course at work. Test-preparation labs were also provided - when all the steps were not given to the student.
The course could easily be considered to be worth the money - just for the labs."
Keith Terrell, Intergence Systems. - Cisco CCNA Security & CCNP Security (17 days) (2/2/2009 to 15/2/2009)

Bruce Hale, HP_. - Cisco CCNA Security & CCNP Security (17 days) (9/10/2006 to 22/10/2006)
"After putting off doing my CCSP for some time, I was glad to finally put myself on the course.
My biggest feeling that I had, was that I didn't have enough experience working on PIX firewalls and IDS/IPS systems. Only at an installation level.
But I did have a good networking background on routers and swiFirebrand*hes, had seen TACACS inplace, so that part of the course flew by. I'd set VPNs up before and must of been lucky, but this was the hardest test there's a lot to take in, but it was well worth it. SND was really easy, do this test at the end, no training is needed for that really.
If you come in with a good attitude and to want to pass this, you'll do well.
I now feel comfortable and happier going for the security jobs/contracts that get posted and emailed to me, I now have more choice. The course is paying for itself. As soon as I informed the two agencies I do work for that I was going on a CCSP course, they were lining work up for me. OK, so I have to get past the interview, I didn't/couldn't get there before!
Food's great, locations great, no distractions, good training, good atmosphere, I passed! What more could you want!
Other guys on the course had only just done their CCNA a couple of months ago, they passed, so if you're CCNA don't be worried about going for this!"
Martin Parkinson, Self Employed - Access Networks accessnetworks.biz. - Cisco CCNA Security & CCNP Security (17 days) (26/6/2006 to 9/7/2006)
"Best training class i have been to. Great instructor, good learning environment, no outside influence and distractions. Be ready to spend an incredible amout of time on your study, and you will be successful. It's worth the effort."
Jose Garcia Vazquez, GGB Germany GmbH & Co. KG. - Cisco CCNA Security & CCNP Security (17 days) (26/6/2006 to 9/7/2006)
"The location, accommodation, and training facilities were comfortable and geared directly to the standard of learning and preparation needed for this examination. Both training instructors had the right mix of enthusiasm and knowledge of the Domains; coupled with valuable real world experience. I will have no issue in recommending the course to my colleagues, and business acquaintances."
Jason Kenyon, Agilent Technologies GmbH. - Cisco CCNA Security & CCNP Security (17 days) (23/8/2004 to 29/8/2004)
"A well delivered course in a good environment that is setup for learning instructor had extensive knowledge above the slide contents. Labs were real world and added to the learning experience. Would recommend to friends and colleagues alike "
