CED Solutions

I took a CISSP boot camp here back in 2012 so it’s been awhile but I can give a subjective review.
I was happy with the price of the course as airfare, hotel, breakfast and lunch was included in the price.
The facilities were top notch, nice well lit classrooms, multimedia and plenty of parking!
The reasons for three stars. Our instructor drifted off topic or let the class drift off topic all the time. He always started class late (note, he didn’t arrive late, just didn’t start class). Once he spent an hour or longer showing us how to hack a wifi password. Obviously not one of the CISSP domains.
Of the ten CISSP domains he only taught eight, excusing the two that he failed to teach as the «easy ones».
I was pretty upset by this, failed the exam a week later, but passed the next time around.
Lunch was typical geek food, pizza and sandwiches,
They did give us a nice embroidered polo shirt and class photo at the end of the course.
I’m seeking another security certification and after all of this considering CED again. Just hoping for another instructor.

Yes, this place is definitely not a recommendation from me to others preparing for the Exchange Messaging certification exams. I suggest you to do self study or research thoroughly before you attend a certification boot camp. My employment sent me here and this was not my recommendation from my research. The recommended certification camp I recommended was Certification Camps in Florida. You are better off self studying oppose to going to this facility for the Exchange 2013 Messaging course. I will not say the entire camp is horrible but my experience with the trainer I had was not good to me in preparing you for the exam from my experience with past facilities I have attended. I will be self studying for this exam.

!!!BEWARE!!! CED SOLUTIONS TAKES ADVANTAGE OF VETERANS!!!
Upon my return from Afghanistan and separated from the U.S. Navy, I sought out a way to transfer my military skill set to one that private sector employers would find value in. I stumbled upon CED Solutions in my search for certification centers in the Atlanta area. I was extremely excited when I found out that they offered the certification class that I wanted and even more excited when I discovered that they accepted my Post 911 GI Bill. I wanted to get in the next class that they had available so I was advised to take a student loan out to pay for the class, submit my VA paperwork, and I would be reimbursed upon the completion of my class. I submitted my VA paperwork including an updated copy of my DD214 to Stephanie Brannon, the VA Representative, on 14 MAR 13. I was in class from 24 Apr — 5 May 13. Upon the completion of my class I began trying to get in touch with Ms. Brannon to ensure that my paperwork had been submitted properly. Every time I called, she was either on vacation, away from her desk or she had absolutely no clue what was going on. I emailed her on 7 May to check the status of my claim and she emailed me back on 10 May saying that it had been submitted and I should be hearing something shortly. I called the VA later on that month to verify that the claim had indeed been submitted and was told by the VA that Ms. Brannon had not submitted my claim. After expressing my complete dissatisfaction with Ms. Brannon, she finally submitted my claim in June but apparently forgot to submit my DD214 with my paperwork. I received a letter from the VA in early July stating that I was eligible for 50% of my benefits (because she failed to submit my updated DD214) and that they would pay the percentage of the tuition directly to my school. Here it is 10 Sept 13 and I have still not received a check or a phone call from CED Solutions. I decided to call them to check on the status of my claim because I am aware that the VA can be slow at times. Of course, Stephanie Brannon is on vacation AGAIN. Nobody had an answer for me. I called the VA and discovered that CED had been paid $ 1535.00 (50% of my tuition) on 19 July 13. I am LIVID. I don’t recommend this education center for anyone especially veterans using their GI bill benefits. I am filing a formal complaint on Ms. Brannon with CED solutions and my next step will be to file a formal complaint on CED Solutions with a third party government agency.

I attended the MCSE Boot Camp in Atlanta. The staffs are professional and most of the instructors are very good. Their programs are very lean and well thought out. The customer service is excellent. You will definitely get your money worth. I was able to pass all the exams except for one. They were so nice to let me re-​take the exam at no cost. Not just that, but let me re-​attend the course again at no cost to me. Since, I was not able to fly to Atlanta. I am from the West coast. I attended a webcast. After the webcast, I retook the exam and passed. I got my MCSE Security+ certification.
The way they do business, I am very pleased that I am returning for the VMware Certified Professional course in Aug. 2012. I will write my full experience. So, stay tuned.
