    A friend of mine has got to the second interview stage of this:http://www.isa-skillnet.com/cloud-careers-programme/
    It looks like he might be offered a place on it but he is not sure if he should take it. I read that 90% of participants are employed after it but it sounds a bit too good to be true.
    I just want to know if there is anybody here who has done the course and if it is any good? Apologies if I am in the wrong forum.

    I haven't done the course but he'll be a fool not to do it. It says you could achieve the following industry certs after the 9 months

    • VCP - VMware Certificate Professional
    • CompTia Network+
    • EMCISA
    • Sonicwall Network Security
    It is worth it for the VCP cert alone, training for that in Ireland is 'bout €2000 and you must do the course before you can be certified. He'll get that for nothing if he passes the exam. It's a highly sought after cert in IT

    Feck it sorry, I didn't see this until now. He was offered a place and he has accepted. It'll be fairly intense though, they cram a lot of stuff into a short space of time. Thanks for the info regarding VCP, I will pass it on.

    Housemate is on the course. Sonicwall was dropped for some reason.
