The important difference here is that you have the cost of the course and
the cost of the exam as separate items. Let NetThink charge £2000 for a
weeks course that corporate interests can see but remember to have a
separate £45-60 for each exam. That way you don't need corporate sponsorship
just to get one of these. I don't know if it fits in with the other idea's
but one of the things I'd like is the ability to just walk into a training
centre, book an appointment and then do the exam the next day, no trying to
get a week off work, no major fees just the exam.
If you force people to do an expensive training course you lose alot of
appeal.
