Students regularly ask
us for more information on how the courses work, so we have tried to
answer all possible questions here. In the highly unlikely event you
have a question which is not answered here, please contact us.
How long will the course take me?
It depends on
how much you study each week, and how quickly you absorb
information. As a guideline, most students will complete a
module
within 2 months at a slow steady pace.
How soon can
I start the course?
Within 24 hours
of the payment clearing our account. Note that some credit cards may
require verification for your peace of mind.

Do I get a certificate for the course?
Yes, once you
have completed the course, we will confirm you have completed all
sections of the course and all tests, and will then issue you a
certificate by post. You pay only the postage fee. You can also
print off your own course certificate. Log into the course and
within the course click on the Course Tools tab on the left
navigation. From here, click on the View My Scores tab. Your mastery
percentage will be in the first paragraph on that page. If every
lesson is scored at or above the mastery level (80%), you will see a
certificate button near the bottom of the scores graph.

How do I print the pages in a course?
There is a
print button on every page. To print out a page simply click the
print icon. Pages are printed with graphics and text as they appear
on your screen. You can only print each page separately
and not the entire course.

Skill assessment pre-course test
Before starting
a course, you can take a Pre-Test to determine your starting level
of knowledge on the course material. This is called the Skill
Assessment. The Skill Assessment is a test composed of thirty
randomly selected course questions. When completed, a summary of
Skill Assessment scores by Unit is displayed.

Simulations
Throughout the
courses there are multi-step simulations to give you an opportunity
to practice what you have learned. The STEPS button provides
step-by-step instructions on how to perform the simulation, while
the HINT button will give you a hint for each step.

Supplied
Files and Exercises

courses contain supplied files that you can use to enhance learning
through practice in a live application. Exercises can be printed
individually or all at once by following the onscreen instructions
within the course, or you can access them any time by clicking
TOOLS, then ABOUT THIS COURSE, then select the PRINTING EXERCISES or
COPYING SUPPLIED FILES link and follow the instructions.

connections, where the connections speed is less than 33K.

Complete Official Exams

like to find a testing centre near you, use
www.vue.com or

remember that official exams are different to the tests which
come with the course. In order to be internationally certified,
you must pass the international vendor exam. You cannot take the
international exams online. They have to be completed at an
authorised test centre at an additional cost.

How do I know my credit card payment has gone through?
The moment you
pay by credit card, you will receive an email from Setcom detailing
and confirming your purchase. Normally within 48 hours your
transaction will appear on your credit card balance/statement.
Finally, you will also receive a confirmation within hours from 2KO
International that your order has been received.
If you do not receive any confirmation email from setcom or 2KO, it
is highly unlikely the transaction was successful. You would be able
to verify this by checking your account where you will find no funds
will have been deducted.

course is replaced by a newer course?

purchase a single course eg Cisco CCNA 640-802 and then Cisco brings
out a new course eg CCNA 640-803 within the 12 months of your course
access the following will happen:
If you bought just the single course (CCNA 640-802) then you will
complete the course as usual.
