I need advice about Computer Certifications with New Horizons?

It is going to cost $17K for 5months for 9 Certifications. Is this a good idea?I need advice about Computer Certifications with New Horizons?
Absolutely not. (It doesn't matter what the certs are, by the way) If you have the intellectual capacity to earn 9 certs in five months, then you can do so with or without New Horizons (or anyone else). If you do not have that capacity, New Horizons will not magically give it to you.





Any of these study/training programs are basically a repackaging of material that is already out there for much less. As an example, the MCSE requires 7 exams giving you 10 certifications total. (7 MCP certifications, 2 MCSA certifications if you get Exchange and 1 MCSE certification)


The ';official'; study materials are available from Microsoft Press. For a few hundred dollars you get the written material, study CDs, practice exams and a trial version of Windows 2003 Server Enterprise Edition. If you can't pass the exams with all that, then you won't be able to pass them with New Horizons materials either.





The most important part of being a professional is trusting your own judgement. It's a matter of self confidence. Either you have what it takes to do this, or you don't. If you do, then do it. And do it on your own. I know many, many successful IT professionals. I don't know any who used a ';cram course'; to get there. Every single one of the best studied and passed on their own.





Is it worth $17,000 to let someone else hold your hand while you study?I need advice about Computer Certifications with New Horizons?

Tooooooooo Expencive, and will you get Company Certificate or Vendor Certificate ?
Yes, and no. If you have the money, then maybe. Taking classes generally helps you learn better. If you are mainly interested in certifications, then look for some self-study options.





If you decide to take classes, try a small amount first to get a feel for the training and the exam process. Then you will begin to see that what you need most to pass the exams is practice questions. You can search the web for the cert you are interested in, and look for study guides.
personally I think not... but if you do you better be ready to work your rear off. Your local community colleges should off the same course. At a fraction of the cost. It may take longer. But then you can take your cert tests as they come. Plus you get College credit. I checked out Horizon when I was laid off a few years ago... and decided to to with college.





9 certs in 5 months... your brain will be swimming
