Re: Planning a bootcamp

I agree with Narbik. Do a little homework. Call you friends that
have taken a bootcamp with the vendor you are looking at. Read
reviews. Check out video reviews. Read blogs. If at all possible call
the vendor and speak to the instructor! I know I and my colleagues
are always willing to talk on the phone to a potential bootcamp
student...heck that is how I ended up in IPexpert's bootcamp as a
STUDENT to begin with!
