BEST Boot Camps for MCSE/CCNA/CCNP...

I'm sure this one's been beaten to death before. I just can't find the
thread here. I'm curious as to who provides the best boot camps for MCSE,
CompTIA Security +, Cisco CCNA/CCNP. Yeah, I realize this is pretty broad
spectrum of subject matter - all of which I'm interested in though.

I found an outfit in GA called Partners in Technology. They teach the above
and have some interesting pricing. Does anyone know them and/or provide
some feedback here? How about other training centers such as Henmann
Learning, New Horizons computer learning etc.?

I'm located in Denver so any recommendations for training centers here are
also much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

A little search of google worked wonders for me.

Unless you already know your stuff and just want to bone up for taking your
exams, boot camps are pretty useless. Better to spend the money on books and
PCs to make yourself a test lab.

Do any of these set you up with an apprentiship program with a local
employer? I've contacted National Employment Services who claims they
provide the 3 week training and follow-up placement with corporate employers.
I was wondering just how valuable a 3 week test prep boot camp would be, and
you seem to have pretty well answered it. However, if they can guarantee
placement into an apprentiship program, then they're pretty tempting, even at
a $15K price tag.

What's your thoughts on this option?

How fast do you want the certs?
If you have the time, I suggest taking classes at a college or university.
You will get better instructors there and costs less too.
I got my MCSE through a community college but it took almost 2
years.....only cost about $2500 total after books. (plus the cost of certs)
