do they make you any kind of guarantee that you'll be employed within 3 months or your money back? do they have a success rate?

so they find a job for you too? that sounds pretty slick and i think the IT field is fairly in demand these days. i'd say it can't be all bad if they help you sort out employment during your tenure there although simply getting a microsoft certification doesn't seem like it'd just put you into a job easily. most of the time i think the jobs offered are pretty clerical/secretarial which can be a bit of a drag. if you can find it, try looking at the types of jobs most of the people come out of this certification with and see if it is something you wouldn't mind doing.

some things to consider:
can you afford the cost up front? and can you afford living while being unemployed while going to school? although they claim they can get you a decent paying job, what is the likeliness it would be as much as you make now? you don't need to answer me, but good questions to ask yourself.

you get yourself MCSE and you can pretty much write your own pay cheque without someone finding a job for you, people will be banging your door down.. worse comes to worse and go to a staffing company of some sorts.. but I would be willing to bet it wouldnt take more than a fortnight to get a job

Absolutely! I've been doing this for 11 years now, but just because you have it doesn't mean that you have the experience.

good point, but I wouldnt expect too many people with zero IT experience would have the interest to do it let alone the brains to pass it.. and as far as i know it isnt cheap

You'd be surprised. We had an opening and we interviewed several people and some new there stuff and others didn't. It's pretty easy to spot the one's that don't though. I had one guy call a switch a server (repeatedly)

Re: so i,ve just had a 40 minute hard sell phone call for an it course

maybe he should "switch" to another job *chuckle chuckle*
