And I think Smartforce "grew" out of "Fore", a cbt generating company from a
few years back.
I wasn't impressed with their Cisco products. I forwarded several screen
captures about the inaccuracy of their material.
I failed (and I failed bad) my first attempt at CCNA (about 2 years ago) I
think mainly due to the fact that I studied the material they said I needed
to know. 30% or more of the questions I got on the exam were not covered in
their CCNA course.
They had a 30 day money back guarantee but unfortunately I complained at
around day 32..... :-(
I was able to get rid of the cbts on eBay for about half my original cost.
Then I did the proper thing and got the real books and started collecting
routers for a lab.
