Are WebCT classes a good way into IT career?

by malikjaru . Updated 19 years, 9 months ago

I work at a university and they are offering discounts for WebCT courses to its employees. I have an A+ certification, and do some computer fixing on the side, but I have always wanted to go more into system analyst field, advanced support, that kind of thing. Only thing is money is an issue and I cannot spend hours in classrooms since I work full-time. I have asked so many on whether these type of courses are actually beneficial to someone trying to get into IT, but no-one seems to have any idea. Thought I would go to the experts by starting this thread. Had many thoughts of getting Net+ and Security+ certs, but really worried about wasting my time. I am extremely interested in becoming saavy in as many IT aspects as I can, just need reassurance of the right training to take. MCSE, MCSA, Cisco, MCP, whatever I can get into. If these can be obtained via WebCT, that would be something I would do. Only thing is that when I look at courses, not sure how many needed to take for exams, etc. I have also wondered about sites like CBTplanet and whether this is a viable option as well. Can anyone out there help with this subject? Any kind of advice would be incredibly appreciated.
