What really amazes me is that guys pay a fortune to go a class or boot camp and come away with no real training. Most of the authorized cert centers provide minmimal real product knowledge. A certificate without real experience is good for blowing your nose on. I would only attend a center that has servers, desktops, routers etc. for me to set up and learn to configure first hand. The fact remains that IT training must be more than just simulated in a 30 min. bogus lab.
What is needed in our industry are schools that teach and train people in depth. Setting up a systems, users, hardware and software configurations. I would welcome any thoughts on the subject.
