Hi Joe,
Thanks for your e-mail and the course it was the best one
I've been on. Everything was pitched at the right level
and the practical exercises & break / fixes were great
to get the grey matter working. The main difference over
the courses i have been on in the past is the relaxed pace
at which the course progressed there was no pressure to
be finished for a certain time and we didn't have to leave
labs unfinished due to the lack of time / lack on knowledge
on the instructors behalf. It was also very refreshing to
be taught by an actual engineer / trainer instead of trainers
that have never installed any networks.
We were all impressed with the quality of the course and
will be back for the CCNP courses you will be running, although
for me it will have to fall in between Degree assignments
!! Thanks again for a great course.
Cheers Joe

Hi Arit,
Please pass on my thanks to Joe and Mark for a great 6 days in Brum this week.
Both Joe and Mark were excellent tutors and made the topic both interesting and fun.
It was great to get real hands on time on the routers and switches together with all the background knowledge on Routing and Switching.
Although the days were long - it was never boring and I thought that the 5 days spent with Mark together with Joe's unique way of explaining subnetting, was extremely helpful and should hopefully get me through my CCNA (3rd attempt) on March the 10th.
Thanks again to both Mark and Joe and especially Mark who was extremely patient when having to go through sub-netting (many times) throughout the week - but he made it fun which really helped.
At the end of each day he was willing to stay on as long as the class needed him, which I thought deserved a mention.
I would definately consider coming back again sometime when I start my CCNA Security, once I have my CCNA under my belt.
Value for money was excellent also, considering we had at least 4 or 5 hours hands on real live equipment every day.
Thanks Again

Hi Joe
Thanks again for the excellent CCNA course I attended with Commsupport in January 2009. It was just what I needed to consolidate my learning and prepare myself for the exam. Four weeks later I took the exam and was able to achieve my first Cisco career certification based on your excellent training.
I highly recommend Commsupport to other Cisco students. The courses are excellent value for money and Joe is not just an expert in his field he is also an accomplished teacher. For me Joe’s performance as a teacher stands out and he was able to keep me motivated and learning over six very intensive days of training. The course content is a good mix of theory and practical and doesn’t just prepare you for the exam it gets you ready for the real world of Data Networks.

Hi Anthony,
Just a note to say thank you to Mark and yourself for the CCNA course last week and your help so far.
I was inspired by Mark, his knowledge, command of the subject and his approach to teaching. It backed up the fact that Commsupport are in the business of training candidates to become field engineers. This coupled with an attitude to succeed will assist with the knowledge, understanding and confidence I need to become an engineer, pass the CCNA exam and look towards my CCNP.
Having experienced Commsupport first hand, I believe the company provide value for money and I am satisfied that I made the correct decision in being under your instruction.
Very best regards,
James Treacy.

Hi,
I would like to pass on some feedback regarding the course i finished today. Mark our instructor was great, he had more than enough time for each of us and taught at a pace that was acceptable to all. He made what could have been a daunting experience very comfortable.

Hi Arit,
i would be grateful if you could please pass this message onto Joe for me please.
Hi Joe, i don't know if you remember me, but my name is Michael McIntyre, and i was on your ccna course back in april. I would just like to inform you that i passed my ccna exam on Saturday just gone, and would like to thank you for the immensely good course that i had the pleasure of coming onto. Trust me, i am no paper cert, especially with the training that i received on the course. The course kicked my brain into gear with doing things practically, so i had absolutely no problems at all with the simulators in the exam. Once again thanks.
Michael McIntyre (CCNA)
Morning Arit
I am good. It seems like ages ago now, I was on the CCNA course! That's what works does to you, I guess!!! ;-)
Anyway, I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed the course and got a lot out of it. I only wish I had found out about CommSupport ages ago.
Joe has certainly got a good business developing there you know, and think it should be very successful.
I have spoken to a few of my work colleagues about it, as training seems to be a rare thing in the company we work in and cetrtainly in the current financial climate. They all sounded quite interested and hope they take up a course or two. I shall endeavour to keep spreading the word.
I am thinking that once I gat my exam out of the way (and pass) I shall definitely, look at CommSupport again for my training needs.
Joe made the learning process, intersting, informative and what's more fun!
If I ever see someone counting "chickens" in a Cisco exam, I guess I shall smile and know where they got that from!!!! Nice way of teaching subnetting
- Keep up the good work.
Regards
Alan J Williams
Hi Arit
I found the course very useful and very good value.
Like any Cisco course you have to be self-motivated and willing to put the time in. Each candidate has their own stack of kit for labs but everything else about the course is clearly no frills. However, if you don't have a large corporate training budget and you need Cisco training, this is by far the best value CCNA course in the UK.
Best regards
Barry
Joe,
I just wanted to say a BIG THANK YOU for everything. The training
was fantastic, I really enjoyed the last day lab-test, even
though I worked myself up into a headache during my moments
of frustration-so challenging. It really is Top training!...
Thanks, I can speak CISCO now.
…(I just don’t
remember the detail about how the ports are numbered –
so I had the serial cables the wrong way round, and for about
an hour I was trouble shooting the line-code, breaking it
more, when all that fixed it was swapping the leads around!...
the screen lit up like a christmas tree!… and now I
know what you mean now about getting excited over those little
exclamation marks!!!!!!!!)

December 2008 CCNA
I went from zero to hero with a score of 881. I used the CommSupport
CCNA weekday training course to kickstart my knowledge. It
was excellent for two reasons; it gave me experience with
real hardware and it gave me sufficient insight to understand
the material in the CISCO manuals with much greater ease than
otherwise would have been likely. Both of these benefits helped
me to learn faster and more effectively outside of the course.
If you're a complete network novice, as I was, the course
alone will not get you there. But it will reduce a seemingly
impossible task to be achievable with some additional damn
hard work. It has given me the requisite amount of networking
knowledge to push on to network forensics.

Hi Joe,
It was great to be taught by such energetic and enthusiastic
people, the course was fast passed and intense and I thought
you did a great job of helping everyone in the class keep
up with you. Even the ones who I thought didn't have the background
to tackle the course managed all labs and grew in confidence
well beyond what I expected of them. Meanwhile you were able
to challenge and grow the more advanced students and your
real world experience showed in the way you answered the questions
we had from our own networks.
I've had some expensive training in posh country houses but
I can't imagine any other supplier delivering a better course
than you did.
Well done!

Hi Joe
I just wanted to leave some well deserved feedback for you.
Like many respondents I was suspicious about the pricing of
your courses but as I was self funding I decided to give it
a go.
Well in my fairly lengthy career in IT I have attended many
courses but I really have to say the 6 day CCNA that you ran
was really the best. I had done some pre study and even had
a disastrous attempt at the exam before attending but being
immersed in a course for six days with like minded people
is 100% better than boring self study.
As for the course itself the lectures were great, the labs
all worked, added to our learning and the break fix was challenging!
It was fast paced and great fun.
Best of all for me is that today I re-sat the exam and passed
with a score of 973!
So now I am walking with a slight sideways stance and have
a new hat a bit like Dave Angel from the Fast Show
Now where’s that Aston dealer!!

Joe,Thank you for the email and the course, the course was
by far one the best courses I have been on in a long time.
I found the combination of both theory and practical lab work
was an invaluable method of showing the class content in action.
However, I must say the break fixes are by far one of the
most frustrating yet satisfying methods of learning. This
is further backed by your relaxed approach to the content
which helps numb the pressure of learning new concepts within
fixed time periods. The slides you provided are a great help
simplifying the course content which makes it much easier
to understand especially for someone such as myself who has
not come from a networking/support background. I would not
hesitate to recommend your course to any of my colleagues
or co-workers. Once again thank you for a great course. Regards,Kunal

Joe, what can I say, that was different gravy...not
only did you both deliver a superb 6 days of training but
you made it also enjoyable and entertaining, at no stage did
I find myself drifting off to sleep unlike other courses that
I’ve attended. The slides/labs/break fix sessions were
very helpful and your outstanding knowledge could answer any
question that was thrown at you. I would highly recommend
this course to anyone that is thinking of taking a CCNA track,
for £495+VAT I can promise you it is definitely worth
the cash!!
Thanks once again guys and I look forward to coming back for
the CCNPI have spoken to a mate of mine at work and he is
looking to take his CCNP later this year, I have given him
the details for Commsupport and he will be contacting you
in the near future. I will recommend you to every engineer
I know who is thinking of taking a Cisco training course.
Kind Regards

"Superb course! I've worked in IT for a few years now
and been on a few courses here and there but Joe was definitely
the most capable instructor I've come across. The combination
of his real world experience, professionalism, teaching style,
hands-on labs and moderate hyperactivity all contributed to
a learning environment that allowed me to absorb plenty of
information and pass the exam first go.
Highly recommended."

Hi Joe,Just a quick note to say a massive thank you for the
CCNA course last week. I thoroughly enjoyed the course and
meeting yourself and Andre.
I was extremely impressed with your ability to teach and the
fact that you always knew the answer to a question, no matter
how complex it was. That gives me great confidence in the
fact that I was taught by a master of his craft!I have had
my head in the books and simulator since I left the course
and hope to sit the exam next week. Being back at work just
doesn't provide the same excitement so hopefully I can wangle
some more time off to come back in September for the CCNP
BSCI course.I hope the forum will have a "Dear Joe" column where people can ask questions about knitting and maybe
even the odd networking question! ;-)Anyway good luck (not
that you will need it!) with the CCIE.
Cheers
Chris Taylor
Hi Guys, What can I say but thanks for making the course easy
to follow and understand. This was by far one of the best
week long courses I've attended, a course aimed at producing
engineers and not just exam passes.... Although it goes a
long way to preparing you for that two... I managed to pass
my CCNA within 3 weeks of attending.
The course is great for those new to cisco and proves invaluable
to those already working as engineers, if helped me pull my
knowledge together so that I could indeed sit and pass the
CCNAThe teaching methods are a comfortable mix of theory with
the emphasis being on the practicle hands on and break fix
scenarious. (A word of warning to those taking the course, watchout for those break / fixes!! Lol but
it makes sure you know what your doing) Again many thanks
to you both.
Cheers guys

Hi
Just a few lines about the CCNA course held in Manchester.
I found the course to be of a very high standard due mainly
to your excellent presenation skills and obvious passion for
the subjects covered.
Having never laid hands on this kind of equipment before it
proved invaluable having access to the routers and switches
throughout the course.
The combination of presenation and practical hands on lab
work coupled with a very knowledgeable and experienced instructor
served to make the whole learning process both enjoyable and
highly imformative.
Although the workload was intense and a lot of ground was
covered the pace and pitch of the course was just right, allowing
someone like myself not even coming from an I.T. industry
background to be able to absorb the subject matter without
feeling pressured.
Many thanks for your efforts, keep up the good work.

Well what can i say. Just completed 6 day CCNA training. Did'nt
know what to expect. I must admit, it was daunting to say
the least. However, Joe did a great job, and succeeded
in educating me, of all people.
It was hard work, long days, and it was fun. I had a great
time. (If it was too easy, then everyone would be doing it,
and the money would not be the same)
A big thank you to all, and hi to those that were on the same
course. It was a pleasure to have met you.Oh and Joe, you
never did sidetrack me for the watch LOL
Andy Harban-Ridler
Hi Joe,
The thought of doing a CCNA seemed exceptionally daunting
at first but after only a few hours in the classroom my
mind was put at ease. The relaxed and flexible teaching
style helped all of us on the course to make sense of each
and every chapter. The practical's were enjoyable and helped
re-affirm the information we had been shown. I especially
enjoyed the "Break/Fix" element which is so rare
in IT classroom environments nowadays. I'd thoroughly recommend
the course to anyone thinking about taking their CCNA but
be warned that this is not for the feint hearted!!
Thank you so much guys...Onwards and upwards.
Kind Regards

"I thought the course was really well-organised and contained
many useful real-life scenarios. The emphasis and use of the
Cisco devices (routers and switches, per delegate,) made the
translation from theory to real-life very easy and understandable.
I enjoyed the course immensley because of the input from Andre
and Joe and purely on the fact that it was designed to give
more than just a CCNA certification."
In terms of coming back to do my CCNP, I really would like
to do it with yourselves. I am not too sure when I will be
available but I will remain in touch.

Hello Joe,
thanx a lot for being so patience to train us the whole network-world
in a short time. It was a course on 120 Miles/Hour with Joe.
:p. Actually many students don't study at home, thinking Joe
will transfer his brain via wireless to our brain or smthing
like *Copy & Paste*. I really enjoyed the course and planning
to come back to copy CCNP brain from Joe. It really helped
me to get my confidence back- when i was doing mistakes and
he explained me how to fix them. Thanks to all of you.
Regards
*~~Shawkat~~*
Hi,
I was a student on the CCNA first week of June would be grateful
if you can pass this on to Joe for me.
Joe, thanks for the help on the course, it was quite a lot
to take in such a short time, but I thought you did a pretty
good job of getting the concepts across. I also thought you
were very dedicated & it clearly shows the business means
a lot to you.
Well I have just passed with 867. All the NAT configuration
went out my head so it took me 20 minutes to complete the
SIM which then left me 30 minutes to finish 30 questions!
I thought I was dead in the water at this point, but some
really easy questions popped up so I managed to pull it back.
I intend to continue with the CCNP soon as possible although
getting work is obviously first thing. It’s a bit of
a pain for me to get up to you but I’d really like to
stick with you so you will probably see me again at some point.
Best wishes
Colin Fielder
An excellent course taken by an excellent experienced industry
engineer.
The course is the Easyjet of the Cisco traing world, so why
pay £2000+Vat for a same 6day course with other training
companies such as Global Knowledge and get taught by CommsSupport
Networks for a fraction of the price.You get all your own
Cisco routers & switches so no sharing needed.The only
downside is that you have to provide your own food but who
cares! you can bring your own!I also like the sliding scale
of payment options when paying for the course making it such
an attractive offer.Last but not least, Joe is a full on kind
of engineer! Cuts through the crap and gets on with the important
bits!
Cheers

Hi
good to hear from you. I would like to ask you to thank the
team as I passed my CCNA on friday. I am not good with exams
so I am very grateful for the learned instruction I have been
given. From a personal point of view I particularly enjoyed
the break-fix; I am sure this contributed to my enjoyment
of the week.
Regards
Steve Kersley
The instructors were excellent
at getting the detail across, two very friendly and committed
people. I have attended many courses in my time and I must
say that this CCNA course was by far the best course of any
category that I have ever attended, I didn't want it to end.
When the time is right to go for the CCNP I will definitely
go back to Commsupport.
Cheers
Bob Rice from Devon.
Hi Joe,
Just to let you know that I passed the BSCI exam on the 24th
of January with a mark of 927.Many thanks to your company
for helping me through this exam. Quite honestly in the end
it was a lot easier than I thought it would be -- a lot of
that will be thanks to the quality of the instruction which
as I said before was much better than I had any right to expect
for £500.I'll be looking to take the ISCW in the next
couple of months.
Cheers -- Jason James.
Hey Joe
Great course and what a price. Might be a bargain price
but the course works brilliantly in pace and the instructors
are brilliant. I will be back to do the CCNP so soon as
I finish my CCNA exams (I hope).For all of you who come
to do the course read your manuals as asked before coming
to class as it will leave with more energy to learn the
more advanced things.Thanks for a brilliant week and all
the best with you and your company's future. I will hopefully
be back again to support you.
Cheers

Hi Anthony,
I'm writting to confirm my chosen dates for the 4-day ccna voice course in London and to officially thank commsupport for helping me pass my CCNA exam last saturday!
Prior to seeking commsupport's expert, no nonesense training I'd done some self studies using my own kit at home, took the exam but failed with a 742 score. Two weeks after attending the 6day CCNA course in London with loads of hands on experience and the renowned break-fixes I went into the exam room last saturday with confidence and rightfully so cause I came out smelling of roases with a massive 925 score! I'm well chuffed and would recommend the course to anyone looking for real results, especially those who wants to have the confidence to call themselve real cisco network engineers and not just what it says on the piece of paper! Commsupport's approach to training really works!
I'd appreciate it if you could book me into the November 9th - 12th in London for the CCNA Voice class please. Look forward to it already
Many thanks to all you guys at Commsupport, you rock!

Hi Arit,
Joe has been great in teaching the CCNA course, his approach was friendly and flexible which made me understand complex concepts with great ease. Compared to other training courses I have been to, I felt relaxed and at ease and not bored to death by power point that some training schools use. Also Joe’s tale about the snails and tippex was hilarious.”
Thanks.

Hi Arit
The tutors were appoachable, enthusiastic, helpful and were Cisco experts. The course was well structured, had great labs and having to fix the labs when the tutors broke them reinforced my understanding. All in all, an excellent course - for for a great price! I'll certainly be back for my CCNP
Nick
Hi Arit & Joe,
I would like to say that I found the CCNA course great value. I would expect to spend at least £2000 on an equivalent course. Joe was great nothing was a problem for him labs were informative and easy to follow. You couldnt find a better
CCNA course out there to do for this kind of money. The only thing I would say is that Joe needs to cut out the toast & Butter diet, its not good for him especially the white bread.
Thanks for a course + wish Company Success.
Dan
Hi Arit
I attended the CCNA course in London between 1 – 6 Feb 09, during the Great Snow. Joe was the instructor and it was apparent from the outset that he possessed not just a wealth of internetworking knowledge but also real life experience as a Cisco Engineer which, believe me, makes a huge difference. The course was as intensive as I expected and a 10 hour day was normal but the content, style of delivery, and labs and break/fix sessions meant there was never a dull moment.
I thoroughly enjoyed the course and personally got a lot out of it and am scheduled to sit the 640-802 exam in three weeks time. I would highly recommend this course to all would be CCNAs unless you are an absolute beginner as, in my opinion, to get the most out of it you need to have some background knowledge and experience.
Many thanks to Joe for his patience, good humour and infectious enthusiasm. When I have passed the 640-802, I’ll be back for the CCNA Voice course”.
I’d be grateful if you’d keep me up to date on new courses and offers.
Thanks again.
Best regards

Hi Joe,

Hi Arit,
I found CommSupport’s CCNA Course to be the most competitively priced on the market anywhere, offering full instructor led training with all lab equipment provided. The course itself was an intense and in depth experience of Cisco Networking for the CCNA candidate. Over the 6 days there was no time wasted from morning to very often late evening to ensure all aspects of the CCNA course material was covered. The instructors had very unique and effective techniques to explain and help the students master each part of the course. The labs were extensive, and absolutely invaluable for gaining the much needed hands-on experience required, and with the real-life break-fix scenarios, I was able to gain real insight into the Cisco Engineering world. The course also had a fun element to it with good humour encouraged in the classroom from the instructors, which made the course a very enjoyable experience as well as informative.”
Kind Regards,
Peter Stevenson
Hi Arit,
Thank you for the info about CCNA Voice. I am quite interested in this however I am not quite sure when I can get time off.
As a bit of an update I can tell you that I sat my CCNA exam just a few weeks after your course and I passed with 897. I am convinced that having this professional qualification along with my IT background has enabled me to make an excellent start in contracting and it was your course that made a significant contribuition to this.
Many thanks once again and please keep me posted about the CCNA Voice it may be that I can book a place at last minute depending on how the contract works out here.
Best regards,
Neil
Thanks Arit,
I'm currently working on contract, implementing a Wireless network.
Thanks to Commsupport for an excellent course. Joe is an enthusiastic and accomplished teacher who seems able to teach experienced and new engineers, prepearing them well for CCNA, CCNA Voice and CCNP examinations. And as a bonus, Joe manages to teach additional but useful (and sometimes essential) tasks to ensure that the students are not only equipped for tests, but to become good network engineers. The courses are fun and a pleasure to attend.
Many thanks Arit, please say Hi to Joe for me.

Dear Joe,
First of all, a very big THANK YOU!! It was a pleasure to
be learning from you. I wanted to do the CCNA Training course
for a long time. My aim was to enrol for a course conducted
by a good tutor and which was not very expensive. When I saw
your course on the internet, I immediately registered for
it. The bonus of this course was the labs. It is very rare
to see training companies offer this kind of service without
any additional costs.
The course length and content was perfectly right. Your knowledge
and dedication to each of us was very amazing and I am sure
all the other delegates on the course agree with me. The practical
sessions that we had helped me a lot understand each area
in more detail and grasp different things which are difficult
to achieve from the theory.
I am looking forward to join the CCNP course as soon as I
pass my CCNA Exam. I will definitely recommend this course
to my friends.
Thank you!!!
Many Thanks

Hi Arit,
Got some good news to share. I passed the CCNA 640-802 exam last week friday. I don't know what I can say that hasn't already been written on the www.commsupport.com website. The course was well structured, relaxed and the break-fix scenarios are a god-send in understanding and real-life fixing of problems. Prior to the course, I had no networking background, but instructor Joe with his comical brand of humour and sarcasm and an immense wealth of knowledge made the course interesting.
To others thinking about joing the course, all I can say is that this course works well. Do the prep work suggested by Commsupport prior to attending the course. If you have additional time I would also add that it makes sense to read the entire Todd Lamelle book prior to attending the course. A massive "respect" to Joe. I didn't know that passing the CCNA was achievable in such a short space of time whilst fully understanding all concepts, theories and practice. I'll be back at Commsupport for the CCNA Voice course in June 2009.
Rhys James
Having been involved is several training sessions throughout
my life, I feel that I am "qualified" to comment
on Joe's CCNA training course. First and for most, Joe is
a person that has experience in the field and it shows in
his training courses. You can only learn from such experience
as he explains topics and then relates them to some experience
he has had. Golden!
Even though he isn't a Lee Evans....he keeps things light
and has a good outline of the course. Finally, as I had to
pay for the course myself, ie. I had no company to offer this
for me, the value for money is hands down....unbeatable....Highly
recommended!!
Slow down with your course schedule Joe..... I don't need
the competition!

Fantastic course, I was an absolute novice and with Joes approach

Hi Arit,
It's good to hear from you. I keep meaning to drop a line or get in touch with Mr. Joe. I was really impressed with the course. I have been really busy since leaving you guys as I am now fully back at work. I would like to contribute some feed back and would like you to tell Joe that I have had a look at his website it looks the business. There's even a pic of my bald head!! and it's so good that you are hosting courses in Manchester. Well done Joe!! GGRRRR!!
please pass my best regards on to Joe
Kind Regards

Hi JoeHad a fantastic time on your course, great bunch of
guys and an excellent trainer.It was good to be taught by
someone who knows and has a passion for the subject they are
teaching, rather than just going thru the motions as most
IT trainers do. Learned absolutely shitloads more than I ever
imagined, now I actually want to sit and pass CCNA exam!!Keep
in touch and let me know when you start the CCNP courses.
Cheers Dunc………….

"After commiting to a tedious self study program for
about a year I was only able to achieve a grade of 739, however
after attending your course my final result was 885, I found
this course was extremely well presented with the added benefit
of hands on experience, something that can't be done at home
without an expensive lab. So cheers Joe I couldn't have done
it with out your help, support and a bloody good course."

Hi Joe,I liked the fact that you were always open for discussion
and was very insightful. It was a pleasure having you as an
instructor.The course was well thought out and was very effective
especially the break downs of the LABs…(-;. Very organized,
challenges minds and ability. All in all it was a great course
and will definitely recommend to my friends & colleagues.I
will surely join when you are going to be doing the CCNP courses.
Great Stuff! A+

Hi Joe,
There is now a new CCNA in the F1 Paddock!
Work has been busy flying all over the place to races, finally got a week off this week to climb back onto the Cisco wagon. Boy have I been busy. Anyhow I passed the 640-802 today with a 986! (Admittedly it was my second attempt at, I failed the first time in April!)
Anyhow, I just wanted to say thanks for the great course and your time. I am going to give Cisco a break for a little while (my brain is full) but am interested in the new CCNA Wireless and the BCMSN in time.
Hope busines is good, and you are not working too hard.
All the best,
Mike Podd
"As an IT professional with 20 years experience in mainstream
companies like HP and moving into networking full time, Joe’s
CommSupport CCNA course was a financial and all round winner.
At less than a quarter of the cost of most mainstream CCNA
“Boot camp” and crammer courses, CommSupport’s
was flexible, thorough and slick. The five day courses, which
can be taken on five consecutive Sundays for locals or as
a 5 day intensive learning experience, are taught by active
professionals who aim the tutorials primarily at “networking
for real” but are also thorough on “how to pass
the exam;” this does not just mean question learning,
but actual exam day preparation before pushing the start button;
what matrices to draw out for subnetting, what conversation
tables to write out and so on, The only proviso is that it
pays to be very well prepared beforehand; CommSupport supply
the books in advance, but unless that knowledge has been well
studied, much of the wisdom will fly over your head. There
should be more schools out there like CommSupport."

" Excellent course, top tutor. Joe has many, many
real life stories of how the things we were learning are useable
in the real world, which gives an invaluable insight"

Hi Joe.
The course was fantastic. Never learned so much in one week.
Considering I have never touched a switch \ router I left
feeling very confident I could become a network engineer and
be able to pass the CCNA exam.
The labs were excellent, to get that hands on experience was
invaluable and the break\fix practical's were fantastic. They
gave me a great insight into the day to day problems I may
come across and how to find and fix them more importantly.
The course pace was excellent, very relaxed and sort of go
at your own pace which was good, not like others where you
have to be finished at 5 and if you don’t understand
"tuff" we need to crack on to be finished for Friday.
Look forward to seeing you again on the CCNP course in the
near future.
Thanks again

Hi Joe
For anybody out there who is serious about passing the CCNA
certification then I would highly recommend this course. With
a full lab for every student and great real world scenarios
to work on as well as all the theory behind the hands on lends
to a great experience.
I have passed my CCNA just two weeks after attending the training
course. All the hard work was worth it
Thanks Joe for a great week

Excellent course for anyone who has a basic knowledge of data
networking, the person will take on a lot of information within
a week. Each day was very intense. This course is for any
engineer who is able to digest a lot of information. Excellent
labs which gave plenty of time to program the equipment. Superb
explanation of IP addressing and protocols.Extra handouts
were given to cover other aspects of data networking which
was not part of this course. Commsupport offered Cisco loan
equipment and after care. Where else will you find this in
a course? This gives the student extra time on the kit at
there own leisure, at a very reasonable cost. Well worth the
money. In my mind you will not find a better course at a great
price. Only fools will go elsewhere.

"If you are an aspiring network technician then you won't
go wrong with this course. It is genuine and you get to play
with real Cisco equipment on an individual basis. There is
definetely an advantage to being taught by an instructor who
is a real network engineer as he will talk to you about and
give you real life case studies from his own experience.
Despite being long days, there are ample regular breaks evenly
spaced out which means you're not going to have to sit through
a two hour continuous lecture where you may slip behind or
fall asleep.
However, the week day course is intensive over five days and
you need to prepare beforhand by reading the supplied Cisco
publications. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT AND CANNOT BE STRESSED
ENOUGH. During the course, the instructor will give you reading
homework and if you're travelling a long distance daily and/or
liable to being distracted at home - the weekend course will
be a better option since you will get more time between sessions.
In addition, I would recommend playing with Cisco equipment
even if its just plugging in a router and typing in basic
commands.
In summary; If you are an aspiring network engineer then you
will enjoy this course."

“A great experience, well organised but most important
of all the instructor is very approachable, he treats every
question as an important one and really knows his stuff.The
hands-on “break and fix” ensures that you apply
what you have learned but this method makes sure you never
forget it. I have been on several courses relating to networking
but nothing is as good as this. I will most certainly be taking
a course with commsupport again.”

Excellent course well organised. I would recommend this course
to anyone intrested in computers not just network engineers.
Doing the course over the weekends was very useful as work
would not permit any other times.
Having your own kit was great the Labs are great fun gives
you a real sense of what networking is all about and what
is involved to get the job done! Thanks again Joe for great
course.Commsupport Will be back for more.

Hi All,
Sorry for the delay, in sending you my feedback.I thoroughly
enjoyed the course, learnt a great deal and had a very good
instructor. The kit was superb , 4 units, I could
not believe it, 2 Switches and 2 routers. I had them up and
running the next day. I had a Cisco 800 that I bought 2 years
ago and after the course, It was on my stack with no problem.It
just goes to show that your course does assist people like
me. I am not going to give up my dream.
Many Thanks
Andrew Fernandez
Hi Joe,
Thank you very much for the course last week. It was fantastic
and I really enjoyed myself. The pace was just right and looking
back on the week I certaintly learnt alot. Im going to be
booking my exam for in a week or so and I'll let you know
how I get on.I've been really busy dealing with things that
built up whilst I was on the course.
Cheers
Andrew Moreland
Hope you are well"I found the CCNA course well constructed
and delivered by instructors with the necessary industry knowledge
and experience. The lab exercises were good, helping to reinforce
the theory learnt".Please pass on my thanks again to
Joe

Hi Joe,
When I was told my coleague at work that they were running
a CCNA course for £500 I had my doubts about how good
the course was, but after attending I can say its the best
I.T course I have been on so far. The Material was taught
in a way that didnt make it boring and kept you awake, the
labs were great for understanding and backing up the theory.
After taking the course I passed with a mark of 920, before
taking the course I was miles away from this figure. I believe
the thing that made this course even better was the effort
that was also put into subjects that are not included in
the CCNA but essential in the work place. I will now look
forward to taking the BSCI course next month, look forward
to seeing you soon.
