As this is geek day you'll probs understand this better than posting it elsewhere
Just took my first Exam (of 4) for a CCNA (cisco certified network associate)at the Open University. I got 60%
Which personally i'm very happy with considering i started the course 6 weeks late due to moving house and no internet etc, i only completed 2 modules of 11, so the rest of the exam was done off my own knowledge and probs some lucky guesses.
Other 3 exams i shall do better in 
Happy for now though

£295 for a 6month course with the OU, when course is done you then have to pay the cisco exam fee, which i imagine to be around £100 - £200 maybe more, maybe less, worth it though

if this is the CCNA Acadamy program of 4 modules, the pass rate is 70% for each of the 4.
how did you pass?

I'm doing the CCNA (£0) and the LPI (£0), and looking at a Redback Networks course (£0) later in the year...
Still need to look at booking the exams for CCNA & LPI, though.
And yes, CCNP is next in that series, MarkM, and then CCIE. Although you can step across to the CCDA (Design, instead of Networking) series, if that's more what he likes.

The CCNA exam is £80 i think, you can take a voucher exam to get a 50% off voucher should you score over a certain percentage

my voucher exam was about 70% off and my INTRO exam is only gonna be about £26 because of that, if you think the voucher exam was really hard whats the point in trying to do the industry exams?
