I thought I would add a bit to this post, even though it's not currently the discussion.
I would advise not going to an Everest school for a multi-certification program.
Their Portland campus has a program to get your A+, CCNA, Net+, Security+, and a Microsoft one, however I don't recall what one. They want $20,000 of your money to take their course, however a local University here offers a program identical to it for $4,000. I wish I would have found that out before I went in and wasted an afternoon.
Awhile ago I decided to see what it was about. I thought it might be cheaper to go there instead of my university for a program like this, thinking it was an independent schoo and it might be cheaperl. I arrived at a building downtown. It was an older building, had several stories. The bottom levels all felt cold, old, and the elevator shook on your way up or down it. I go up to the top level of the building, where the admissions part of it is. When you walk into that level you swear you've walked into a commercial. I don't even know how much money they spent on that single level. They had multiple LCD TV's, and photos on the walls of generic shots of people learning and looking at stuff with smiles on their faces.
The receptionist handed me an Ipod and had me sit down to watch videos on it about their various programs they offered, and various "degrees" they had that are obviously not transferable to any other school, which I wasn't interested in in the first place. They give it some name like "Network Security Specialist". Give me a break. You get a VERY salesmen like feel from everybody.
The admissions lady came out 15 minutes later. Everything she said felt extremely scripted and generic. "We're here for you and we're very glad you've taken an interest in your future". She took me on a tour of the school and knew nothing about the program in particular, she only knew what she was reading off of her clipboard. I could tell they're told what to say to you and what responses to give when certain questions came up. She brought up multiple times how their tuition fees have dramatically dropped this term, pffft. The only teacher who runs this program wasn't there to answer any questions I had about the course material. That wouldn't be a huge issue at first, however this lady knew nothing about it but what was on a piece of paper she was reading.
After she took me on a tour she took me back up to her office. All of the offices are interchangeable as well as the people who work in admissions, nothings remotely personal about it. Every single form, packet, and folder they give you has their logo and colors sprayed on it. You can tell where they spend all their money, they didn't use cheap paper.
We sat down and went over what the program involved a bit more. I ask her "So how much does this program cost?" After she beat around the bush a bit and tried to prepare me for sticker shock, she brought out the paper that shows how much it costs. Tuition $18000, books $2000. That's not including parking either. That's $20,000. She asked what I thought about it, I told her I'll have to think about it and let her know, trying to avoid an awkward "no, this is a scam", and I had to get going. She immediately asked "Do you know anyone else who might be interested in going to school here?". She essentially asked for business leads. That was the killer for me. I'm willing to bet they get paid on commission for signing people up to programs.
I would avoid going to any of their campuses nationwide. You're much better off finding a program through a Jr. college or a university. I'm not sure how other private places are, like ITT-Tech, I've heard mixed things about them.
EDIT: I should also add, they're unrealistic with what they tell you you're able to get into afterwards. They give you a piece of paper that shows the career paths you can expect to take and what jobs you can expect to have right away. And, no. I'm not kidding. One of the "entry level" jobs was Network Admin. I wish I wouldn't have thrown everything out from them, I could have scanned it and put them on blast for it.
