CCNA Exam

Thenotsowyzewun

Hi I've been studying the Cisco CCNA at college (or I was whilst I was studying there, I finished a few months ago).
Anyhow, they broke the CCNA down into 4 subsections and were charging £391 for each section (that includes the exam for the section and 12 weeks evening classes (once a week) plus some practice in the "Cisco Lab".
So the whole CCNA would've cost me £1564.
Fortunately, I've not shelled out a penny since the first £391 was waived as the CCNA1 was part of my course, and the second £391 (for CCNA2) was paid for out of the Student Support Fund because I couldn't afford it and they were nice enough to pay for it (almost all that money goes to APU (Anglio Polytechnic University or something like that, which is why I wasn't getting the course for free automatically).

I've now told you far more than you need to know, umm, yea getting to the point I've found Pearson Vue and they'll let me do the CCNA exam (which covers CCNA1, 2, 3 and 4) for £94 inc VAT.
But I've found a voucher for Pearson Vue that costs about £80 (when I convert it from dollars) here's the link (as me just telling you I found one isn't much use!: Link

Anyone know if I could use that?
I'll ask them in the morning, so I spose it doesn't really matter, and so I'll continue with my rambling hehe: there's mention of promotional codes on Pearson Vue's sites (and they're different from voucher codes) does anyone know any promo codes? I've searched high and low but can't seem to find them anywhere!

Thanks for reading all this (soz!) Happy MoneySaving

I work for them in the test centres (for driving, barclays and IFS exams) and there are apparently promo codes for staff and their family and friends.. but I don't have a clue where I'd find them.. I can look when I'm next in.

Other than that just try the site.. it's a complete maze.. you might find something useful.

Wow it'd be great if you could; I've read some more about it and supposedly I'd only normally get a promo code if I went on a course to learn the subject (and that costs loads - I'm going to learn out of a book, use Boson Router Sim and maybe buy some networking equipment off eBay to practice on (if it's second hand it shouldn't lose much value whilst I own it, hopefully hehe).

Lots of help available for free, and the ebooks are pretty good too.
