Hi Bill,

I'm not spamming, I just finished the course this weekend and passed the
last test 70-300.
And so I am VERY HAPPY!!!!
For the first course they cover all costs (airfare, food, motel)

I liked the idea of having to be prepared before you go. That helped
convince me that I would actually learn
something rather than just test answers. I make a living doing this stuff
and a cert without substance is
worthless but eight months of study and no cert is just a bad.

They will refuse those that are not ready because it screws up the training
for the others and it is fast moving...
