I went through a similar experience. I saw this ad on careerbuilder.com and i send my resume and a lady called angela khang contacted me scheduled an interview with a guy called christopher trista. It sounded like a great opportunity but guys i'm telling you this is the new way of getting peoples money. They will tell you that the training is free and stuff but there is a lot of hidden costs in it. In other words if you wanna get microsoft certification just go to microsoft.com and they have all the details in it. You dont have to go thru techpros group to get certifications. I got out of it before it was too late so ya all of you guys just be careful.
Thank you for posting this comment! I have come across the site and was thinking about giving it a go. But did a search before hand to see hwat info I could dig up on the company first - which lead me to this site.
I am so glad to find out about it first and not be taken. Times are rough for everyone right now - so loosing money to scammers is not helpful.
I'd like to comment on those who are giving LAN/WAN a bad wrap. I am a tech with over 10 years under my belt. I lacked certifications and stumbled upon this program. I do agree that it sounded too good to be true, but I went for it anyway to progress in my field. Overall, It was a great experience. They provide a fair amount of hands on and also gave me the knowledge on how to pass my MCSA and CCNA which I did within a month after completing the program.
They do claim it to be an scholarship/internship, but it is more of a pay your way as opposed to the free ride you generally hear about. These hidden fees mentioned are all on paper and are not hidden at all. You pay for your airfare room/board and book fees all of which is refunded if you are accepted into the elite program of the CCIE internship.
After going through the program, they do tac 20% of your annual salary for a year as stated which isn't bad considering they damn near doubled my salary. However, I settled with them as they provide you with that option to pay them prior to landing a job for an amount that came to about 10%.
All in all, if you are considering going here for certification training - my advice is to don't hold back. DO it now while you have the opportunity - They are professional and good people and get you certified regardless of what you may read online.
