3. Difference between Boot Camp & Network Academy?
What do U want ?

Ask yourself
22 days training compress to 5 day
what kind of quality R U talking about
Student concern :- duration of the course
Boss concern :- 22 day $$salary versus 5 day $$salary
Boot Camp don’t have Multimedia Course
Don’t have so many Exams.
