Real World Real Network Training

Who are we?

Commsupport was established in January 2007 providing one CCNA per month delivered over weekends from Joe's home were he taught classes from the "Garden Shed" at the end of his garden, you could say that we are a real "grass roots company" heh, heh.

Commsupport is different from all the other training companies because from the day we started we strove to be different to offer our students the best possible training experience in the classroom, read the list of firsts that we pioneered to the left

We are now the Number One provider of CCNA/CCNP courses in the UK, we have since January 2007 trained over 1500 students in our own unique style, helping many to pass their exams first time

We currently run more scheduled CCNA classes per month than any other training company, twice as many than our nearest competitor.

How did we go from being a small outfit in a back garden to a respected national company renowned for delivering real network engineering courses?, well other than our affordable prices we did it on the back of quality, professionalism and generally being a jolly nice bunch of people to deal with.

We don't do grandstanding ,by buying flash cars and fur coats instead we invest in more advanced courses like the CCNA Wireless, CCNA Voice and CCNA Security, now this is something that even the great Cisco learning partners will not and cannot do dispite charging over the odds for their courses

All of our instructors are full time network engineers when not teaching for commsupport.

Our Instructors

Joe’s Bio (Caffine & Nuclear Powered)

CCNP, CCDP, MCSE, HP Master ASE

Joe has been involved in computing and networking since he turned his back on a career as a pilot when he said “I don’t want a computer flying me!”, The irony is not lost on him.

Joe started his networking journey in Italy back in 1996 working for a cutting edge voice & data multiplexer manufacturer. His job was involved sticking cards into boxes. From there he went on to learn what these mysterious boxes did, and so  embarked on understanding all he could about them, the rest they say is history.

Joe qualified as a Cisco Instructor since gaining the coveted CCSI certification (Cisco Certified Systems Instructor) back in 2001 has been teaching Cisco and telecom related topics since 2001 and has been in the industry since 1996 and still works as a senior voice and data network engineer when not teaching at Commsupport.

Has been pursuing the CCIE since 2001 but is always distracted with other projects, in his words "This time next year boys!"

Joe has three loves in his life, Teaching at Commsupport, his sprogs and making people laugh

More espresso for Joe!

From those humble beginnings Commsupport has gone from strength to strength and we are now the Number One provider of CCNA/CCNP courses in the UK, we have since January 2007 trained over 1500 students in our own unique style, helping many to pass their exams first time

We currently run more scheduled CCNA classes per month than any other training company, twice as many than our nearest competitor, how did we go from being a small

 

outfit in a back garden to a well respected national company renowned for delivering real network engineering courses?, well other than our affordable prices we did it on the back of quality, professionalism and generally being a jolly nice bunch of people to deal with.


  


So apart from price how are we
different from other schools?
 
 

We concentrate on giving you real hands-on experience in the classroom with lots of labs and break-fix, each student in our CCNA class has 6 devices to work with, no one else offers more kit!, We don't have a flashy web site or a castle in the country but where it matters most, in the classroom, we are 100% Network Engineering.

Despite our low prices, we don't compromise on the quality or the content, in fact we go even further than any other training school, we add more content and more subjects into our courses than the official syllabus requires, Why?, because it makes you a better network engineer and that is what it is all about.

Look at the List of Commsupport achievements, pioneered by us:

1. We were the first school in the country to make it part of every CCNA course to run continual break/fix sessions in the classroom after the labs (The 1st and the best)

2, We were the first school in the country to offer free one day training sessions to help people to decide if networking was for them before parting with any money.

3. We were the first school in the country to offer 6 pieces of lab equipment per student on the CCNA courses.

4. We were the first school in the country to offer work experience in the way of the LABRAT so that anyone could gain experience in our classrooms as assistants.

5. We were the first to offer complete free re-training with no time limit, no having to take exam first conditions, free re-training means free retraining

6. We were the first school in the country to offer 5 pieces of lab equipment per student on the CCNP BSCI / BCMSN courses.

 

 

 


  

Many firsts that we pioneered and we continue to pioneer...

Not convinced that Cisco training can be delivered at such affordable prices?, well, we are so confident and passionate about what we do that we offer our services for free on the "free one day intro to networking" courses that we run on a regular basis, our prices are not the only great thing about us, our courses are apparently quite good too.

You are welcome to come and visit us at the classrooms, any time you like between 9am and 6pm, (London only, please call for Manchester, Birmingham) see us in action, speak to our students and make an informed decision as to whether we are the training company that can help you achieve your goals. All we ask is that you give us a call prior to you coming over.
