Global knowledge also accepts learning credits, they are pretty much
everywhere. I took their classes before and wasn't impressed however...they
have re-vamped the classes and added a "mock lab" class so this may have
changed.
I don't believe Ipexpert does learning credits, I know they did awhile back
for a short time but I don't think they do now (doesn't show on the
webpage). Scott could elaborate more on that
I know NLI accepts them if you are willing to travel. If travel is an issue,
check with some of these guys to see if they can bundle travel in with the
course fee. For companies that are limited on travel funds (as mine is) this
may be an option if you have some learning credits burning a hole in your
pocket.
