Hi guys, I'm from Oct 2011 intake (Pioneer batch) and now just finish this course and had conferred the diploma from NYP.
Just a head up for what to expect from the course, those from higher nitec in IT will feel like a refresher course for the CCNA but towards the end, which is the last module of CCNA, it's will not be as easy as higher nitec ones, it is much harder and more in depth so prepare yourself. There will be lots of vlsm calculation, the project mostly will be on setting up a new company and ask you to design, implement how the network going to be. As for system administration, there will be 2 kinds of operating system, namely Red Hat enterprise and Microsoft Servers
Red Hat also not so simple Hor, much more in depth, after the open system administration, you can go take the rhca exam Liao...lol
There are 3 kind of new subject which those in IT never come across ones are green computing, cloud computing and virtualization. Those got experience in VMs will be good, and the most boring and dry subject is the project management, almost doze off
To me the hardest is the programming essential, using red hat to do programming (OMG) almost fail this one but manage to get a C lah
Just an advice, if can please dun group all the elites together as a group, please spread out and help fellow classmates, which happens that the other group, all the elites group up as 1 and get the highest score but overall the class very low passing rate as compare to our group which we spread out as 1 or 2 elites taking each group and we have the overall highest passing rate than the other group, studying is to gain more knowledge and also at the same time by helping others, you also learning.
So any question can ask me
Will attend the graduation ba...lol
