| Helping an Immigrant find a job..
This guy I know has been in canada for 5 years now, hes english is excellent, he works for paladin security.. He has a background of computer programming form where he came from.. But, unfortunately his foreign experience and qualifications are not recognized in Canada. Im trying to help him find a course for network administration, because thats what he wants to do.. perferablly a short 6 month course that doesn't require any prerequisite to take. Is there such a thing?

^ Yeah, and he won't be a Network Admin straight out of college neither... he'll need to get into helpdesk/tech support -> desktop support -> Network Admin...
it'll take a couple of years.. good luck!...
