- You dont have to take any classes if you dont want to. But you do have to
- pass the exams.
- From what I hear, the exams questions are right out of the workbooks so
- those who do take the classes are at a real advantage.
-
- On a side note... I took the novell service and support course. Worst, most
- basic, waste of time, course I ever took. While on that course I had a lab
- partner who was about to get her CNE. If her level of knowledge is any
- indication of the value in novell's training, a CNE diploma isnt worth crap.
- Of course it will get you a job, but still it's still crap.
