Try to inquire at Meralco Foundation Institute in Ortigas. Check this site www.mfi.org.ph. Good training, tuition fee inclusive of books and cd.

Mapua offers CISCO program. It cost around 6000+ for those who are not bonafide student of mapua.

@Gonogm,

per sem yung 6000..

isang taon ka mag aaral ng cisco (4 na sem yun)
add mo pa pamasahe, miryenda, pagkain, etc.

para sa akin, its such a waste of time kung meron ka naman kaunting background sa networking, computers, etc.

hindi ko naman tinitira ang Mapua, actually Mapuan nga ako eh.
pero yung curriculum nila ay napakahaba para mag aral lang ng cisco.

sem 1, ituturo pa syo kung ano yung computer, kable, topology. etc.
which are very basic and bilang mag tatake ng ccna, you should already know these na. i hope nobody gets me wrong. pero its really a waste of time.

unless kung zero background lang talaga, then they have to enroll to this curriculum.

mas dapat pagtuuunan ng oras kung ano talaga dapat ang mga topics sa CCNA as prescribed by the Cisco sa website nila.

For me taking the CCNA requires:
1)dedication (that you want to pass the exam)
2)sacrifice (no more time for movies, tv)
3)the RIGHT review materials.
4) tips and tricks (you only have 1hr 30mins for the exam, 55 items, including 2 simulation exam) kung ano yung natutunan mo sa school or training center, you have to reword it and make your own formulas.

I am considering to continue my Cisco CCNA..

I'm done with CCNA1 and 2.. CCNA 3 and 4 na lang..

i took the first two at MAPUA.. during my college days as ECE at the same institute some 2 years ago..

I inquired sa Mapua.. (classes started last Jan, 21 nga pala).. They are offering Professional classes.. for those who can't make it in the Tu-Th and M-W classes..
Cost: PhP 6500 (for both mapua-alumni and not)

but, I'm also considering other schools such as Meralco Foundation..
since I find the Mapua's quarter-system is not ideal for a professional (once-a-week class) in a course like CCNA..
since my PhP 6,500 means 12 or 13 sessions only..

Though, the last time I attended PRO Class (CCNA 2), there were only 9 of us in the class.. so exposure is good.. kaya lang masyado pa rin maikli ang 3 months.. based on my experience..

DLSU offers the same.. but i did not inquire yet..

ok, to tell you the truth guys, im a scholar of MFI (meralco foundation institute) and i know the quality of education na binibigay nila, sa totoo nga *** ibang mga instructors ng mfi pinirata na ng mapua kasi magagaling, hehe. tapos na ako ng ccna 1-4, kasama sa 2year IT scholarship program nila un, and im planning to take the certification early this year, pero malamang uunahin ko *** cert ng oracle bago cisco.

then merong mga short courses din sa mfi, kapag every week ends ka mga 2 months tapos ka na sa isang module, pero kung gusto mong mabilisan meron ding araw araw na pasok, so mga 1 month kaya siguro isang module.

pero balita ko dun sa mga instructors namin na lumipat sa mapua, maganda daw *** mga gamit nila dun. dapat lang kasi malaking school sila and mahal. den sa quality naman ng pagtuturo, hindi ko lang alm, siguro sa mapua masOK ng kaunti, kasi they can afford na maghire ng mga sobrang magagaling na instructors, unlike sa mfi, foundation lang, pero that doesnt mean na hindi magagaling mga instructors sa mfi ha, madami paring mga loyalista na hindi lumilipat, hehe
