CCNA and the Open University
Hi All

Just to let everybody know that the Open University are starting a CCNA course.

www3.open.ac.uk/courses/bin/p12.dll?C02T228

Could be an option for anybody who wants lots of support when selp studying. Plus of you can use this toward a degree.

nice find Sandy, thanks for pointing it out
I assume its based on the Net Acadamy format not soley the CCNA format? (im guessing this due to the 7 month time frame)

Yes, it sure is...

Having just failed by 20 marks the CCNA exam before I started my BEng I am tinking about doing this in a year or two as it gives me another qual and 30 points to my degree.

if you do it externally can you still count it as 30 points towards your degree? good luck, you sure seem bogged down with study mate, but im sure it will all be worth it
still processing all the crap to start my MSc this year, work may well pay for it, which would be a bonus, hence why im still looking into it all
im sure my workload will increase exponentially thereafter, looking to do the 2k3 Security exams before I start, as they are a positive sign on my application

heh, figured it wouldnt
i suppose that helps keep standards high, I have sure seen some CCNAs that couldnt even show me the IP address of the router, so I guess by only giving the points for thier course they can continue to maintain standards with thier degree students, good call probably

Always glad to help.

As you will see it is on it's first presentation and just a tad far foe me to travel but I hope they will have it in Region in 2006/7 once I have M206 and M301 done and dusted.

Looks like you will be busy for a while with M206 & M301! I’m sure if it’s successful it will roll out to regions at the next presentation. It’s to far me as well, as I’m based at Region 5 (Nottingham).

 Well I heard there was a secret chord, That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do ya?

Well it goes like this, The fourth, the fifth - The minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
