I got a flier for a "Mastering Internet & LAN Security" 2 day seminar from CompuMaster. I don't have any experience with CompuMaster and am not sure it will be worth the price tag. The topics and hands on labs look like exactly what I need. Does anyone have any experience with CompuMaster courses? What was your experience like? Was it worth the money? Are they geared towards network professionals or newbies? Gotta have some back up info before I ask the company to shell out the cash!

Thanks!

I took the Cisco Router classes and the instructor did a good job of presenting the material and giving examples. He had each 16 students and 8 routers and we got to do hands-on configuration, so you could control what was happening instead of justreading pages in a book.

The class you want to take is business-oriented and technically intensive, so you probably won't get any "IT-challenged" students that are just learning about the Internet. Lastly, you fill out a satisfaction survey thatdetermines if he or she will be teaching any more classes for Compumaster.

My instructor knew his business, and if they are all like that, then you have my voucher for them. Good luck, you'll do great!

I have been to several of their courses. I find that the "hands on" classes are much better then the "info" only classes. Too much information without someplace to actually try it at the time and I get overwhelmed...but then again maybe that is just me!
