True, true, I think the only problem with most certs is the training centers
that offer the qualification in a week etc. If you struggle through
something on your own over a period of time it sticks. If you go somewhere
for a week, have it crammed in and have your hand held through the tests the
knowledge will be garbled in a couple of months and as good as useless.

Oh well, i spose it comes down to the individual. LPI is good for me as I
work in the industry it improves what I know.
