In today's technical revolution, I have found that knowledge is power, and Certifications are powerful! Businesses today require Industry recognized certifications, as well as actual hands on experience. Through hands on labs, I try to simulate as many real world situations as possible, making students more than just "paper: MCSE. As a Microsoft Certified trainer, I can assure you that Arthur McNeil classes are very up to date, with all available equipment ready to create a variety of different training methods. Kudos to the School!

The primary goal for students coming to the Arthur McNeil is not to learn technical knowledge but to actually learn a new way of thinking. My job as an instructor is to not teach all the answers but to teach the right questions to ask and where to look for the answers. The key is in understanding how to use the right resources to quickly solve any issue.

" If anyone is really serious about getting the Cisco CCIE Certification this is one of the only schools that has the equipment and a structured course " If a school has no structure to a training program the student ends up learning nothing.

Our trainers teach from experience, not by note. We give students extensive hands-on practice working with the latest Cisco equipment--and with solving problems they'll most likely deal with on the job." In addition to developing job-related skills, students receive extensive test prep sessions focusing on the specific material they must know to pass the rigorous Cisco Certifications. "Our teachers make sure you understand--not merely memorize--what you need to know to pass the Cisco tests and to meet the ever-changing demands of the Internetworking workplace.

As an advanced level instructor it is the job of the teacher to reinforce the learning from previous courses and to build upon what was learned from those courses. That is accomplished by providing as much real world experience as possible. The students job is to take the learning from the basic course and use that knowledge to help them further develop the concepts and practices that they learned.

" Our Network+ course is designed to bring together the logistics of data communications with the tangibles of hands-on learning. Students really enjoy breaking the networks down and rebuilding them, which of course helps them retain the theory of communications much longer.
All this provides the perfect training to pass the Network+ Exam." "The A+ Class is award winning, this because of the mix of Conceptual Theory, in depth hands-on labs that are easy to complete, and the extremely high percentage of students that pass the A+ Exam. It is a dynamic atmosphere that I really enjoy, not only when the conceptual light-bulb turns on for each student, but also because I learn something from the students every single class! It's a great medium for learning."

Having thought many different Cisco Certification courses, I have to say that Arthur McNeil really goes the extra mile to make sure that the students are well prepared for the real world. Arthur McNeil has a state of art Cisco lab which allows instructors to really share they're real life experiences with their students and allows for maximum learning using both hands on labs and thorough discussions in various technologies.

I was working as a security guard, making around $8 per hour. I used to be scared to turn a computer on before I started the Network Systems Specialist course, however the theory and especially the hands on labs really helped me understand how to put a network together. The instructors were very helpful and answered all of my questions. The course took 9 months to complete, what I couldn't believe that 1 week after I finished the course, the school sent me for an interview. Citibank liked me and in my first job out of school I was making $45 thousand. The school took me from start to finish, from not knowing anything into a Network administrator position. I would recommend the school to anyone, as everything they promised came true. Presently I am now a consultant at Lucent Technologies

I did lots of research on computer schools before I chose the Arthur McNeil. What I liked about them was the equipment in the labs. I got hands on experience with Windows NT Server, Novell, Cisco routers, cabling and TCP/IP. At the end of the course they set me up with two interviews. The second interview they offered me the position at chemical bank making 35K. The hands on really helped me with the interview, even though they asked some tricky questions.

When I was first shopping around for an Information Technology School I was looking for three things; Price, Knowledgeable staff, and the possibility to attain the ability to pass I.T. Certifications. It was important to me to meet these criteria because I was not only shopping around for myself, but for three of my friends, who also wanted to move in to the I.T. field. Although the School's appearance was a bit disappointing at first to my friends, I reassured them that it was going to meet our educational needs. after taking the course I knew what my objectives were and the study discipline needed to obtain them. My friend Rick and I just passed our A+ Certification Exams and are now enrolled in the Networking Course, Tim and Tom did not take the exams yet, because of their busy schedule. Tim got a job at a computer parts supply company gaining valuable experience, and Tom now works on various communication and computer projects the company often flies him to, also gaining valuable experience. The School will supply you with all the Study materials and knowledgeable teachers who have answered most of the barrage of questions thrown at them by the eager students wanting to learn as much as they can, and while it does not have the regal appearance of Schools that charge ten times more, It is fully functional, and well equipped. I can see this School growing and expanding in the near future.

Great class, great lab - Great School ! I received my "CCNA" before the class ended! This is the best place to go if you want to have Cisco training on you resume. The best deal in New Jersey .

Well sir I have done it ! As of September 18 1999 I am A+ certified, Network+ certified, MCP + I, and MCSE certified. There was no way I could have done this without the excellent training I received at the Arthur McNeil. Thanks to Jim Callari, Manoj Patel and Bob Coulter I had the necessary fundamental knowledge that allowed me to pursue with confidence these very challenging certifications. A true testament to the school is the fact that I began this journey on March 15th 1999 barely knowing how to turn on a computer. Six months later I have some very heavyweight qualifications. Yes, I did some outside reading but that was after the training I received at the Arthur McNeil. I would recommend the school to anyone. In fact I have. By the way, given the depth of training they provide, the courses are under priced .

The school training was excellent for the tuition price. They offered more than I bargained for - no other school gave so much extra valuable information on networking. I feel more confident about taking exams and going on interviews, than I would, had I not taken the LAN & WANS course. Arthur McNeil is an excellent place to start an I.T career .

I thought the Arthur McNeil provided me with the essential resources that one's need to succeed in the technology world. The hands on experience was very good and conformed to a real job environment It was useful with troubleshooting and understanding the different ways that these networking devices were used. I felt that the labs were very well prepared and was a very good foundation for learning and understanding networking. I am currently studying for my CCNA certification and plan to pursue my CCIE soon after. We used some of the following equipment labs, routers, hub, nic cards, network management tools and many other real-hands on networking devices. Three weeks after the course finished I was offered a position at Sunoco Corporation as they were impressed with how much hands on I had. I am permanently employed with Sunoco Corporation at their headquarters in Philadelphia as a network analyst. Overall I was very satisfied with the curriculum of the school .

The course was extremely informative. The hands on labs were great. I can honestly say that my knowledge on Cisco is 150 percent more than before I started. I will soon be starting the CCNP .

The school was very helpful for real life scenarios. Extensive hands on practice with good lab availability. The school and equipment is overall a great place to learn Cisco Concepts. I work for Esavio presently a consulting firm of approximately 300 employees .

The training was hands on and theoretical, an educated and well experienced instructor. A great environment to gets hands on training .

This state of the art facility has offered me so much. I got to work with router in a constructive environment. I have never seen such an impressive laboratory. We went from creating cables to configuring the routers with multiple protocols. I definitely got my moneys worth .

This was money well spent, all the necessary equipment was there to practice, take the exams and for my job. We were given lots of time to get familiar with the Cisco routers & switches .

I believe the training was perfect, because a lot of concentrating was put on hands on labs. The teacher had great communications skills and the classroom had all the necessary equipment to make it fun. I would advise friends to take the course as because of quality, price and duration .

Having just completed the Networking LAN & WAN course, I feel confident in my knowledge gained through lectures and lab classes, and plan to pursue a more advanced job in the networking field. The extra information above and beyond networking essentials, including an easy to understand concept of TCP/IP and subnetting along with actual hands on use of Cisco routers will be invaluable in looking for a job. In the class we were also given a head start in planning to pursue certifications in NT, TCP/IP, Novell as well as others. Overall I found the school to be excellent in both curriculum and teaching staff, especially the staff. Add the fact that the price is half to a third of the price of similar training schools and you come up with a real winner .

Arthur McNeil, I believe is a well organized training institute that gives hands on training with broad theoretical underpinning that prepares students for their challenge in the IT environment. With the knowledge I acquired here, I am fully confident that entering the networking world won't be as difficult as many people think it is . I commend the instructors for their dedication for excellence. I am presently also enrolled in the MCSE program .

The instructor was great, he put things from a Cisco perspective into terms we could understand. The Advanced, the Lan Switching, Dial up services was straightforward, however the Cisco internetwork troubleshooting exam was brutal, but in the end I passed my CCNP four weeks before the end of class .

I thought the class was taught very well. I believe that the hands on lab work was key to reinforcing the book lessons. The equipment here at the school was extremely helpful in understanding the class material. I was glad I took the class and plan on continuing my Cisco Certifications through this school. Thank You .

Arthur McNeil is a very good low cost information center. It trains you from the bottom up with the courteous friendly staff from registration to certification. The personnel attention given at each lab is excellent and extremely warm. I have a great feeling of accomplishment .

The school was very good. The hands on experience I got here was not matched by any other school I've attended or heard of. Each class was followed up by a lab, there was no way one could get it wrong. The labs were very informative and we were able to do a lot of troubleshooting. Excellent !. What can I say about the school equipment? Great over 20 routers, cables, many computers etc… I also noticed the school would go out of its way to get students up to speed. Overall the school is great & I wish to attend future classes .

After completing the LAN & WAN course at another school, I still had some questions on my mind and was unsure how to ask them. This CCNA course cleared up a lot of these questions for me and gave me a brighter view of the technology. I think that the school is well organized and the equipment is in good working standard. The hands on experience was very good and informative. I plan to get my CCNA certificate. I think Arthur McNeil is a good school and has a lot to offer .

Overall the CCNA class was pretty interesting. The Teaching method is good, with lots of hands on experience. I learned alot about Cisco routers, there was enough lab to practice and lots of equipment to get into. Even though I am not working in my technical position with Cisco routers, I would love to go more deeply into the field and plan to enroll for the CCNP class next semester.. It is a good learning place, with affordable tuition fees, a friendly environment and a great place to learn, especially the teachers and staff .

The student teacher relationship is good and should be encouraged. The hands on approach of teaching is very good. I was already CCNA certified before the course started, however I had no hands on experience. Presently I work for Louisberger Inc an engineering consultancy firm .

The materials and hands on test are excellent. The laboratory exercises helped me a lot in learning the actual configuration of a WAN (Wide Area Network). I Currently have my MCSE certification and plan to take the CCNA. Presently I am working as an NT administrator and this course really helped me with the current project, I was assigned with .

This is great ! They have very effective and powerful lessons and teachers. The hands on training provides you with a better experience for the real world. The teachers excite and motivate you, providing students with full hands on attention .

The hands on approach gives you a definite clear picture of network connectivity .

I really liked the hands on experience I received at the school. The instructors were very helpful and I plan on getting my A+, Network + and MCSE .

I thought the school was very good, what I learned was very informative. I got hands on experience on how to take a computer apart and how to put it back together. I Plan to go forward by taking the Networking LANS & WANS course.

I made great progress in this class by understanding the concepts of the course.

I learned a lot about PC Hardware and Software like assembling and disassembling computers, PC architecture and Windows 95 and Dos .

I thought students wanting to get knowledge in order to see if this is their career path. The PC Hardware and Software course is highly recommended .
