    Not sure where is best for this but since I only want to know about this deal from a technical standpoint, I figured it's better somewhere like here rather than the deal discussion page.

    The deal is here.

    Apart from the fact there is a description discrepancy (also on their website), it seems like it's pretty good.
    Looks like you get a win7 MCTS,
    CompTIA A+ 220-701 Essentials & 220-702 Practical Application
    CompTIA Network+ 2009 Certification Training Course
    CompTIA Server+ Certification Training Courses
    Cisco CCENT Cisco Certified Entry Networking Technician Certification Training Course


    The network+ looks like an older one but is probably more or less the same.

    I have been in IT for about 12 years or so but never bothered getting certified in anything.

    No mention of exam costs being included so I imagine you pay for those yourself.

    Its a good deal but you'll have to pay for the exams yourself, I have the A+, Network+ and CCENT certs myself, i wouldnt bother doing the Network + as the CCENT covers alot of it and has more pratical stuff by learning to use the Command Line Interface, you could go on and do the ICND 2 exam and get the CCNA

    This deal has been around before. I was interested in this, and I contacted the company about exam costs. All I got was a reply telling me that I need to contact them via phone to get this information.
    I then rang them and was told to email my request to them. I never got a reply.

    It seems like they are reluctant to give information out or they just want to to sign up, pay for the course, and then they land you with the fees for the exams.
