Cisco CCNA/CCNP Training in Manila?

15 years ago
Hi all

My wife and I are coming (from Australia) to live in Manila next year for 3 years. My wife has an executive contract, pays well, accommodation included (probably Makati).

I'm a 53 years old Telco Engineer/Technician, and understand I have poor prospects of finding useful work in Philippines. No problem, we have good savings, and my wife's income is enough to support us.

So, I'm looking for some worthwhile activities that we keep me occupied and out of the bars....

I considered volunteer work, but have a serious aversion to most of the volunteer stuff:
I won't work with churches (I was educated by Sisters of No Mercy), children, medical, animals, political or envronmental groups. Rules out most of them.

However, I see opportunity to learn stuff.
We'll both be 56 when we leave the Philippines, but we're unlikely to retire from work.

Anyone know a reputable College or University that teaches in English, where I can gain my Cisco CCNA/CCNP certification? Trying to avoid the second rate backyard colleges.

Also should have time to learn some Tagalog.

The Cisco stuff is the biggie, I'd appreciate your advice.

Paul
