Koenig Solutions review similarities, True or Fouls?

2010-04-08T01:46:00.000-07:00

Hi All,
I think I managed to catch someone out making positive fouls reviews about Koenig Solutions ….

Here is Sam77 posting on the 4th of November 2009 and than immediately after that there is caussyr posting on the 1st of December 2009
Both postings have similarities in the text (bold test). This cannot be considered a true testimonial isn’t??
Here are the posts
Cheers Dan

1. Koenig Solutions Review, Wednesday, November 04, 2009 @ 4:05:00 AM

I found out about Koenig Solutions when I went to a careers event in London in 2005, and due to work commitments, I had put the whole training off until July 2009. Finally, I decided to take the risk.

It was my first journey to India and I arrived in New Delhi a little bit excited.
A person from Koenig was waiting for me at the International Airport.

My time spent with Koenig has been very positive.

I have undertaken the Oracle OCA & OCP, DBA 10g course on a customized basis that worked out to be just shorter than the fast track course. My instructor truly knew the subject material being covered.

Koenig not only offers a price far below what a similar program would cost in the U.S. or U.K but I actually found the instruction in many ways to be better. I did not find any company in the U.K. offering a full four weeks program like Koenig's and certainly not with the small class sizes.

Koenig's training program made the style of the instruction much more personal which along with the competence of the instructor greatly enhanced my learning experience.

Would like to say thanks to all the staff members at Koenig... I would definitely recommend Koenig-Solutions to others and will also be returning at some point

in the future to undertake further courses!

Here is my testimonial from Koenig (http://www.koenig-solutions.com/training/FeaturedStudent.aspx?syear=2009&sid=341#anchorfs) , but if you don't want to read it all, as a recap, its the best thing I ever did !! If I was you, don't hesitate just go. I stayed at Dehradun and it was greate. I stayed in the apartments, I had great support and there are the mountains to visit.

I found out about Koenig Solutions when I went to a careers event in London in 2005, and due to work commitments I had put the whole training off until July 2009,

Finally, I decided to take the risk. It was my first journey to India and I arrived in New Dehli a little bit excited. A person from Koenig was waiting for me at the International Airport and organized my transfer to depart on a domestic flight to Dehradun, which took a little under 1 hour.

When I arrived at Dehradun a Koenig representative met me and took me to the apartments that I opted to stay in as part of my package. From Dehradun airport to the apartments only took a further 45 minutes drive. The apartment I am staying in is number 95 Room 3, which has a balcony from which you can see the mountains and it’s such a wonderful view, especially when you wake up and that’s the first thing you see.

I have been here for 2 months, and all my tutors are very knowledgeable. If there are topics I am not clear about my tutors would go over the subject until I could explain to them about the topic, the point being that all tutors are very very patient.

My first course was the MCITP 2008 which was 28 days. My tutor was so helpful he even gave up his Sundays so that we could make sure that we went over a few topics and if I needed more assistance towards the exam. Apart from just Sundays, we stayed at the training center until 19:30 a majority of the days.
If you are going to do an MCITP with Koenig, my trainer is the best - he is a great laugh and makes learning great !!!

The Center Manager is the most helpful person in the world and so is the Caretaker who will maintain your apartment. Both of them go out of their way to make sure that all your concerns are met with a resolution.

The apartment at Dehradun, are a five minute walk from the training center and I do mean 5 minutes and not just as a figure of speech.

Everything is done for the students to feel well, the accommodation is quiet and propitious to study. People are nice and obliging, teachers very competent and receptive to questions, never hesitating to develop subjects not formally included in the course but very useful in the frame of real life situations. In addition, the limited number of students per course allows the teacher to devote more time to each person.

According to this, don’t make the same mistake I did. When preparing my journey, I planned to arrive two days before starting the course and to leave two days after my last exam. India is a wonderful country and Dedhradun a beautiful city with so many nice places to visit such as Mussoorie or Rishikesh. So, to all persons who appreciate the geographic and cultural diversity, I recommend to not hesitate to extend their journey for one or two additional weeks.

My 2 months at Koenig is one that I will never forget and most definitely will be coming back !!

'I came to IPGates to get affordable, high-quality training and of course to get certifications. I managed to achieve both goals .

All of the staff there were very helpful and friendly, in fact they often went of their way to make you comfortable.

We met the instructor, and began the course, I found him very knowledgeable and learned a lot from him while I was there.
I was really pleased with how quickly I was learning the topics.

Everything was explained very well and there was lots of hands on labs with Cisco equipment.
I managed to pass all the 5 Cisco exams for CCNA and CCNP. I wouldn't think possible before I went to IPGates...

I left India very pleased with what id learned and achieved, and will
definitely return, for holiday or for some other training.

Also the weather in Goa was great the full month thus making the experience even more pleasant.''

IPGATES Cisco training center GOA India

2010-03-25T05:34:00.000-07:00

Hello everybody!!

I just came back from GOA, India, from a CCNA and CCNP Cisco boot camp training course with IPGATES Cisco training centre.

The course is taking place in the city of PANJIM, which is the main city of the region of GOA
I am not sure if you have been to India yet, the city of PANJIM is actually right on the coastline, several beaches are easily reachable.

The CCNP course takes place over 23 days (slow track) start at 10:00 am and finish at 17:00 hours, Monday to Friday, Saturday can also be a classroom day for extra studies or for taking exams. The teacher was also available on a Saturday for lessons or Labs.

In the class I was with two other international students, all of us got along well, exchanged ideas and also worked together to achieve course work labs.

In regards to the teacher (CCIE qualified), I thought he was particularly good, not only he know his subject very well, but he was also able to answer all questions and provide all materials for practical labs and sample questions. This allowed me to pass all four CCNP exams and also the CCNA exam.

I cannot deny you that it was not easy to keep up with the course and the exams,
I managed to take an exam every 8 days, therefore I allow myself to take an extra day to be sure to pass them all.
I was told that some people were able to take en exam every seven days, but some of them also failed one exam because it is actually a lot to take in every week.
The teacher was flexible to allow extra time for studies and practice labs in order to archive the qualifications.

Lots' of studies were done at home in the evening with all labs and samples exam questions (about 400 for each exam)

All information about the IPGATES training centre in GOA India and costs of the CCNA and the CCNP Cisco training course can be found on the following web site:

http://www.ipgates.com/ccnp_boot_camp.asp

The price of the course included:
(This is what I got; you can also compare it to what it says on the IPGATES web site)

- CCNP course and course materials (books and notepad to write on)
- CCNP exams included
(Only the 1st attempt for each exam is for free, if you fail, then you have to pay for retaking en exam)

- Accommodation
(I took the budget accommodation, and that was good enough, a nice apartment at about 10 minutes from the training centre, almost by the seaside coast.
Apartment of approx 60m2, with 2 bedrooms, lounge, kitchen, balconies and bathroom with shower and bath. Air-conditioning, good conditions, There was also a cleaner coming to clean everyday for free.)

- Taxi service in the morning and in the evening, from the apartment to the training centre and back.
- Laptop provided
- Local mobile telephone provided
- Lunch provided by the training centre
- Pick up and drop from/to Goa airport to the apartment.
- One day sightseeing, whereby a driver will take you to all the popular tourist spots for free, or anywhere else you would like to visit.

Finally, The IPGATES team were also a nice group of people, always helpful and polite.
Brian Fernandes, the responsible person for the IPGATES training centre in GOA, was able to accommodates all my needs and capable of coming out and solve any problems at any time, also over the weekend.
I remember the time I phoned him up on a Saturday evening at around 18:00 hours for a problem with the laptop. By 21:00 hours, Brian was already at my apartment and able to solve the problem immediately.
That night he also took me out with some friends of him, therefore he is not just your point of contact, but he can also be a friend. Basically I never felt alone when I was in GOA.

I will be happy to answer any questions you might have about the CCNA and CCNP training course with IPGATES Cisco training centre in GOA, India.
For me, it was the first time in India, and I fully enjoyed the experience.
I spent about five weeks in GOA and I could have stayed even longer.

On the top of that, I managed to pass all exams, something that I could have never believed before going over.

If you are planning your next Cisco training course, please come back to this Post with any questions you might have over the IPGATES Cisco training centre in GOA India. I will be happy to provide extra information.

Cheers,
Dan
