			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was walking around my faculty today and I saw this sign:</p>
<p><a href="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/145/437482976_fb22c15575.jpg?v=0"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 179px; height: 280px; text-align: center;" src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/145/437482976_fb22c15575.jpg?v=0" border="0" alt="" height="320" /></a><br />
I can&#8217;t help but to smile to myself. &#8220;What if I already have it?&#8221;</p>
<p>Anyway, I&#8217;m not sure if I have blogged about this before, but I&#8217;m going to mention it again. The fee to study CCNA as a <a href="http://www.mit.com.au/cisco_ccna/courses/courses_cisco_certification.htm" target="_blank">short-course</a> at Monash is AU$1650 per module (Monash separated the CCNA program into 4 modules). At the academy that I went (<a href="http://www.trainpro.com.my/" target="_blank">Trainpro</a>) in Malaysia, I get to study for CCNA and MCSE both at RM7000 (~AU$2500). Bear in mind that MCSE has 7 units, and CCNA has only 1 unit.</p>
<p>Just look at the difference. RM7000 (or AU$2500) for a total of 8 units, against AU$1650 x 4 = AU$6600 for only 1 unit (CCNA).</p>
<p>Furthermore, at Trainpro, ex-students have the luxury of a refresher course within a 1 year periodAU of taking their couse. That means that if you ever forget anything after a few months of learning, or if you need clarification on certain topics from the instructors, you can simply go there and discuss it with them. That&#8217;s definitely value for money.</p>
