Keep in touch with them as you progress on training. Those kinds of connections are a huge leg up vs the massess of certificate wielding resume pushers once you get closer to entering the workforce.

Yep, already on that - nice thing is in my current position I work with a lot of IT guys already.
I like your earlier post as well, and good news for me is even in sales I have always wanted to know "what's under the hood" vs just knowing enough to close a deal - so I would definitely want to dive as deep as possible in my chosen area(s).
Another question for everyone - I really don't want to have to go back to Univ and take 2-4 years off, so would love to do a 1 year program - any preference out in the industry of say, SAIT vs CDI?
