Hi all, Sorry, I lost this thread. Perhaps you are right about the online training with Video. I just find it easier to have someone to ask face to face - you learn quicker that way. I'll look into this IRC thingo, never actually taken a look. Thanks for your replies. Paul 2008/6/3 Jennie K

You are probably right - it's just some employers demand accreditation - although I am in Aus not UK (so Í'm sure it's different here). I learnt most of my skills on the job and from books but ended up getting some kind of accreditation as well. Also just wanted to let you know its $50 US

If you are not after accreditation try this website www.lynda.com - it's all online and you study at your own pace. I've recommended the training to numerous people and they have all said it is of good quality. You can try some of the free courses before committing - there are also books and

Paul, For £100 you can get a selection of books that would teach the basics and go beyond a short course. You can also purchase a DVD package for around $200 (try CBT Nuggets). If you buy DVDs ensure they are up to date. James On 5/22/08, Paul Collins [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all, I hope
