The last CE course I took at LSU (Advanced Excel) the actual instructor answered all my questions with, "Well if you figure that out, get back to me." Based on my experiences in several courses, there I wouldn't given anyone credit for having a certification. Did anyone see the recent catalogue from LSU asking for a similar amount of money to learn to use Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn? For the amount that they charge, you'll learn more if you lock yourself in a room with a couple of decent books and manuals for a couple of days - and you'll save money. Edmund Cramp --

No. You take a "test" online, then they market a certificate to you. I've taken a couple of their quizzes, they're based on their tutorials and only ask the most basic of questions. Don't waste your money. _______________________________________________ General mailing list [email protected] http://brlug.net/mailman/listinfo/general_brlug.net
