Skywalker5: Yeap. I got the deal through a friend. Its online course which is why it cheaper than classroom training. I got the confirmation from vmware when i was done.
I was not interested in the training as i have been working with ESXI for a while. Just breeze through it and got my exam voucher.

Skywalker5: Less than £200. Cant remember the exact amount

Feex: Lol
You are definitely not used to corporate world. I have seen candidates with first class + MSc bounced for 'ordinary' 2.1 candidates.
I can not answer that question on face value. Their performance in the interview will determine who will get the job. One thing you need to know his that most employers don't expect too much from fresh graduates. They just need a smart and intelligent graduate who is ready to learn. They know that you will have to learn on the job irrespective of your 'paper' certifications.

Feex: I didn't mean to interfere but I think you are the one being unnecessarily strong headed here. It's quite simple and clear. AjanleKoko is right.

AjanleKoko: The only way to get good experience is to get an opportunity to work in a solid organization.
The only way to get into a solid organization in Nigeria is to have a good degree. You can't get experience by writing certification exams in school. Mostly certifications won't get you into those organizations.

How will you get into any of the big telcos, or any of the companies like Accenture, Computer Warehouse, Telnet, Resourcery, BCX, Netpune Software, TechMahindra, Comviva,etc, or any of the OEMs like Ericsson, ALU, Cisco, MS, IBM, Oracle,without a good degree, or good work experience? Where will you get good work experience if you don't get the chance to work somewhere that'll give you the required training + exposure that sums up to experience?

If you don't understand something you should ask. Rather than trying to make smart remarks on Nairaland

Skywalker5: I used Stanly community college. they have an online training course

AjanleKoko: Well . . . number one weapon for tackling the labor market, if you are looking for degree-level employment, is a good degree

AjanleKoko:
The most important thing, for anybody looking to work with a degree, is to get a good degree.
No need to deceive yourself.
Also there is no 'honeypot' in telecommunications. I've been working in the industry for 13 years now. It's just jobs.
Experience is way more important than certifications. Get a good degree, then use the good degree to look for good opportunities. really good opportunities are very very few in Nigeria. Simples.

AjanleKoko: Probably longer than you.
I graduated well before the time of certifications and 'self-development'
