Is NIIT Worthwile by Obinnau(m): 7:20am On Aug 31, 2012
pls help me out i took the niit schorlarship exam at lagos later we went for interview and they said that inorder for me to study software engineering for 3 years with them i have to pay 750k. The price is pretty ridiculous to me cos i cant afford such, but the thought have been killing me since then pls i am asking u professionals if it is ok and also if its good to study there. I think nothing good comes easy so i think i have to hussle and pay for my school fees is it advisable?

google books online, get a good programmer to guide you and also visit forums for learning.

a budget of 10% of 750k will even get you further , seriously

but how do i go about the certification cos i need the certificate
Re: Is NIIT Worthwile by pdone: 1:59pm On Aug 31, 2012
If you are looking for a certificate, then you have to look for some where that is more cheaper, but if you want to work for yourself, then study it by yourself. All you need is a good book and video. You will even learn more if you are studying by yourself.

Ok, what od their citificates, doesn't it matter? I mean, the more respected certificate exactly.
Re: Is NIIT Worthwile by Nobody: 5:31pm On Sep 03, 2012
get their certificate only and study online

their certificate will help you but not what they will teach you....
Re: Is NIIT Worthwile by soloqy: 5:51pm On Sep 03, 2012
If you depend on only what they teach at NIIT,you will miss it big time in the real world. Their books are so full of silly errors, its unbelievable.

You are better off studying by yourself and get books(from beginners to intermidiate to pro) and start learning. The Internet also has numerous resources.

When you have learnt enough to use it in the real world, you can now start studying for certifications(unless some company has specifically asked you for NIIT certification)

You have online resources for study materials on certifications as well.

By the way, how does one get to pay 750k after passing a test for "SCHOLARSHIP"?

no, it doesnt. what matters most is the one you get from CISCO after passing the CCNA exam.

you can write and pass the CCNA exam by reading on your own, but i recommended TTC because they will expose you to the practical aspect of everything they teach, and they'll teach you more than NIIT.

If its only CCNA you are interested in, you can get N20k training with this guy : www.jidaw.com


cheers!
Re: Is NIIT Worthwile by chigo4u: 7:13pm On Sep 03, 2012
Thanks so much yamakuza and all, I appreciate.

Let me weigh the options. God bless for the insight.

Good to find that you want to dive deep into the world of Cisco. I will suggest to you that you read a whole lot of books. THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE ENOUGH FOR YOU. You need hands-on practical experience. Being in the world of Cisco is like teaching someone about Microsoft Office without a PC/Mac. You have to find a place where you can work on actual routers, switches, firewalls, ASA and as many as possible equipments as you can lay hands upon..
