Theres a ad on the radio for free MCSE courses, literature included but its not very discriptive. They aim you to www.computertraining.com and urge u to take this "challenging test" thats a load of crap. So i take it, why not.
They call me and want me to come to philly for a "seminar"....sounds like a sell you something scam, comments?
If you come to Philly, drop me a line, and we can hang out.
FAQ
"The computer programmer is a creator of universes for which he alone is responsible. Universes of virtually unlimited complexity can be created in the form of computer programs." -- Joseph Weizenbaum.
"If you cannot grok the overall structure of a program while taking a shower, you are not ready to code it." -- Richard Pattis.
Could be legit, but sounds too good to be true. How much is the seminar?
My bet is that it's a scam.
I would think that truly says something about it.Really, it's that easy.
Anyway, try calling them. Ask some good questions. Get joshdick to go to their address and check them out.

Do not make direct eye contact with me.
Yea i tend to believe that if it is too good to be true it usually is so i dont feel its worth my trip ya know. The seminar is free, its all supposedly free.
hrm?ComputerTraining.com, Inc. reserves the right to change the Microsoft certification program at any time.
interesting quote.....hmm
Also a insecure site. I would think it's a scam. Most Microsoft sites are "secure" in the way of the little lock at the bottom.
"When I die I want to pass peacefully in my sleep like my grandfather did, not screaming and yelling like the passengers in his car."
I dont think it ever claims to be a microsoft site persay
Read the fine print. The MS course is not free.
The intro couse / sales pitch
"This is a one night, personal, in-depth overview of the latest trends in IT, how it started, where it's headed, and most importantly what benefits await you in this exciting and expanding field. "
is free....

you should have included the first line:it's a free seminar that tells you what the classes are about... this 'free seminar' is not a hell of alot more than any other college open house... it's not in the fine print, either... just click the link: http://computertraining.com./start/workshop.shtmlBefore even setting foot in a classroom, experience a FREE Microsoft & Cisco Certification Workshop to see just how the field of Information Technology (IT) is leading the charge of a recovering economy. This is a one night, personal, in-depth overview of the latest trends in IT, how it started, where it's headed, and most importantly what benefits await you in this exciting and expanding field.

I say go. Even if it is a scam, isn't being able to hang out with joshdick more than worth the trip?
