Scheidegger have been in business now for over 50 years and have had more than 5,000,000 student from 11 countries.
Abbreviations:
MCSA =Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator
MCSE =Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer
I recently Completed my A+,N+ and MCSA in computer hardware.
You have a variety of courses to choose from such as the prestigious A+ and N+ Cirtification from Comptia to the hardest one of all the MCSE or the MCSA.
Before you can get to the MCSA / MCSE you must complete the basic A+ and N+ Cirtifications.
The course is meant to be spread over 3 years but of course you can complete it before then.
The average time to complete a course is 7 months for the following courses: A+ and the N+.
You must allow upto 8 months to complete the MCSA or the MCSE.

***Price***
The price can vary from the types of course(s) that you do. I paid £3000 for my course thats just £75.00 per month spead over 3 years.
I would recommend you shop around because i have recently found cheaper prices for the same course syllabus. Altough if you cant afford the whole £3000 they can let you spread it over 3 years by signing a credit agreement.This is a pretty expensive amount to pay, but later on in life you would have said good, i've learnt the stuff and i am getting upto 4 times what i paid out for that course for a months salary. Always think about what could happen when you sign that form. And from what bigbaz has told me, you can also apply to the learning skills council for assistance within applying for this course so you wont have to pay the full amount of £3000.00.
They offer a unique website for students to visit. You can get your tutors advice on this as well as send your exam papers through their site securly. The good thing about this is that you wont ever need a postal stamp to contact them. All you have to do is send a short e-mail along with the new piece of coursework you wish to submit. Then usually if the tutor is busy or not you are guaranteed to recieve your TMA (Tutor marked assignments) within the next 2 days even sooner than that in most cases. If for some unknow reason you get made redundant they offer a guarantee that you will finish the course if you cant afford it. What they would do is pay the £75 per month untill you can get back into work. My mum used to be on this after losing her job at Safeway. She tried to get a job but she said to herself, whats the point i might as well wait after my course has finished as i wont have to pay them another penny. Lifestyle insurance is brilliant if you cant afford to pay for the course. If you get an interview for the course(s) make sure you take it out as you dont know what is going to happen.
You can get 24/7 support on their website at the moment. Altough you cant speak to your college tutor you can send him or her mail and they have to reply within the 24 hours set. The support you can recieve is brilliant. If you are unsure about what this or that question mean, Consult a tutor. They know everything about the course. The support you recieve is free and only availible to Scheidegger students.

***Guarantee***
They have a guarantee if you do not pass the course(s) on the first time.
The guarantee is that if you fail and fail again you can take the course free of charge until you either request your £3000 back or until you pass.
The guarantee is brilliant if you fail, This is what i call customer service and value for money.

***Guarantee of Work***
At the end when you have completed your course(s) they will GUARANTEE to put you in work. I completed this course 6 months ago and have only had temporary work from Microsoft, IBM and other companies. They Guaranteed to put me in work, but you wouldn't expect it to be TEMPORARY WORK. At the moment i have the abily to earn upto £60,000 per year but have only made £4,500 pounds in just 1 month. I now have to save that money to pay bills until i can find a PERMANENT job within the computer engineering field. They sign you up to this place called People Bank. they notify you when you when you have have a new job alert, They deal with most job criteria's Highly useful to someone who cant get out of the house whether it be that kids are in the way or you have house work to do.

So fake...."You can get 24/7 support on their website at the moment. Altough you cant speak to your college tutor you can send him or her mail and they have to reply within the 24 hours set." That is true anywhere, you can send an email 24/7 as the internet is on 24/7, duh...., but Skills Train certainly dont reply within 24hours, its more like 5 -7 days {if you're lucky} I DO NOT RECCOMMEND SKILLS TRAIN TO ANYONE, BEING A STUDENT MY SELF, THEY ARE FRUADSTERS, AND DO NOT PROVIDE THE SERVICES PROMISED, THEY HAVE BEEN ON BBC WATCHDOG, WATCH THE VIDEO HERE: http://www.bbc.co.uk/london/realmedia/insideout/bb/insideout_180906_16x9_bb.ram http://www.iitt.org.uk/public/press/article.asp?PressRoomID=22277 U NEED 'REAL PLAYER' TO WATCH THE INSIDE OUT SHOW, SO DOWNLOAD IT HERE: DOWNLOAD.COM AND TYPE 'REAL PLAYER' IN THE SEARCH BOX!.
