I have not bought the course nor will I. I am self taught everything in IT and Telephony. I know each person learns differently, that is why when I train someone, I don't show them, I make them do it and coach until they don't need help. In college, I studied for business administration and accounting. It was too easy. My classes at WVU had 300 students, so attendance was impossible to keep track of. I aced all the tests. Then one summer I was a book keeper at t a travel agency. I hated it. I hated waking up to go to work, I hated the commute, and I hated the job. Then it dawned on me that I was always good at computers and figuring things out, ever since I got my VIC 20 and later my Commodore 64. I even had a Timex Sinclare(sp?) I got into a bit of trouble but since I was a kid and there was no malicious intent, the legal anchorites went away, just had to deal with my parents. Total tangent, I apologize. Classes slow me down and then become super boring. I fell asleep in the 3Com NBX course a few times, but got a 98% on the cert exam. I learned Cisco on the job, walked into a Prometric and passed with 80 something % and got my CCNA. Same for M$ products. I am planning to take the Red Hat cert soon. Anyways, I find structured courses to be a waste. Usually they hamper your creativity and are filled with fluff. If you cannot get a solid grasp of Asterisk in six months on your own lab using Google, voip-info, and howtos, then the course is probably for you you.
