HELP! Curriculum for Internetwork Engineering program

I agree, the credits or degree you earn will be useless. Research some more schools--legit schools and make sure they are accredited. Without the accreditation that degree is about as valuable as what you wipe your butt with

I am more focused on getting as many certs as possible then the degree itself. I have looked around at all the non traditional colleges and the feedback is that pcage has a solid program and curriculum, even reaching out to a few employers. None of them had anything negative to say about pc age and they do not have any ties to the school.

If you don't wish to go to a traditional school.

Go on amazon, and get these books:

study them, and then challenge the tests they go too.

That's the best way if you're only trying to get certs.

Also, look into these websites:

http://www.comptia.org/elearning

You can't get better than that, and you wont even spend a fraction of the amount of money you would otherwise....

But continuing education is assuming you already have the qualifications. Those CE courses are to maintain your certs. not get them.

Also, A+ is not worth $800 in continuing education..... you can go through CompTIA and take A+ continuing education courses for $150

In addition to the CEH book, if security is your thing Go on amazon, and get these books:



Hacking Exposed #6
Amazon.com: Hacking Exposed: Network Security Secrets and Solutions, Sixth Edition (9780071613743): Stuart McClure, Joel Scambray, George Kurtz: Books

Hacking Exposed:Malware and Rootkits
Amazon.com: Hacking Exposed: Malware & Rootkits Secrets &…


great books, and doesn't require a ton of prior knowledge to understand it. They can be tedious at times if the subject matter doesn't interest the reader. These two go into far more depth than the CEH

Thank you. Can't see anyone spending $800 on an A+--it would take forever to get any return on that.
