- I think the Fast Track assumes that you are already VERY Netware
- literate. I Don't know anyone who has gone through this, but I
- went through the regular classes, and they were hard enough.

-
- This is kinda like asking "How long is a piece of string?". Each
- coarse varies in its difficulty. It also depends on how good you are
- at memorizing stuff, and taking tests. I am awful at both of those
- things... I like hands on... So I got a LOT from the classroom stuff.
-
- Don't want to bore you with all of the classes/tests I took but the
- real tough ones were: Advanced 3.11 admin (took me 3 weeks to study
- for that one), Dial-in Dial-out (3 weeks for that one too) and
- Networking technologies (3 weeks for that one). I studied about a
- week for everything else. I devoted 1-2 hours EVERY night.
-
- Just passed my last test last week, I gotta say THIS IS A VERY WORTHWILE
- PROGRAM. I have learned more about networking in the past 6 months
- than I can believe. I think Novell set it up right, making the
- education and testing centers different, It really legitimizes the
- whole process.
-
- Good luck.
