Microsoft Training in Champaign Illinois

Hi all!

Zeltech IT Services is a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner for Learning
Solutions located in central Illinois.

All Microsoft courses include a Self-Test voucher for the exam related to
that course.

The biggest and maybe most important benefit about Zeltech training is our
MCT's, each trainer is a experienced consultants on each of the products
they teach. This brings a whole dimension to what happens in our classrooms.

Check us out! www.zeltechit.com - better and more fun then any boot camp
around.

Wow! Companies are still charging over $1200 for a 3-day
course!(http://www.zeltechit.com/index.htm?p...3&course_id=27)

That's over $50/hr based on an 8-hour day. If you take out the $200 cost of
the MOC book, then that's still over $44/hr for a classroom course! WOW!

I am sure that the price drops for the 5-day courses...and the price would
be worth it if the course could be taken again for free (our CTEC, Premier,
allowed this...unfortunately they combined with the only other CTEC in the
area and they are not as flexible.)

Thanks for the good karma dude!

All students can retake the course at no charge, but I've personally never
had a student take us up on that in the last 10 years.

Zeltech has a retake policy, but I can't remember it ever happening , now I
wonder why my students haven't needed to retake those classes yet have taken
addition courses plus passed the exams plus can support their networks.

Microsoft does require each CPLS/CTEC offer a retake option so if the
student wants to retake they can, I'd check with that CTEC you mentioned
about their policy, email me if there's a problem.

What do you have to pay to take a Microsoft Official course ?

Kharma is what it is...
If you are marketing on these boards...I guess it is not really spam since
this is a certification board and this is a training board AND someone
within your region could be reading.

By the way...Microsoft Certified Gold Partner is impressive!

The last Microsoft course I was at was 4 days and the hotel and class were
paid for by the vendor...and I am sure the cost was substantial. I had to
pickup the airfare.

I used to pay $695 for a 3-day course and $800 for a 5-day course @ a CTEC
with two campuses in the Southeast. The student to teacher ratio was
usually between 4:1 and 6:1...and had a free retake. The instructors would
also consult for the school on their off weeks and would answer questions
free. Granted, that was in Charleston, Brunswick, and Pooler, all of which
are fairly inexpensive cities. The owner is an amazing guy. Prior to that
we paid the $1995 and the $1095 fees before the tech wreck. They were just
a CTEC without any partner certifications.

I have an acquaintence that is an MCT and teaches a small set of students @
night for $25/hr with 2-3 students max.

In D.C. there is a company that will do the whole MCSE 2003 course for
$2395! That's the lowest price I have seen! Granted, they are an evening
college and not a CTEC...but it is college credit.
