LANWANprofessional.com seeks bargain fee of only $28K plus $1.9K in upfront exam fees for its Cisco training

More than 2 years ago, I blogged about how LANWANprofessional.com was charging $95.00 to apply for its Cisco internships.

Well, they're back and in a new Craigslist Seattle job advertisement (see the below screenshot), LANWANprofessional.com is now seeking to charge Cisco interns the bargain fee of only $28,000 for its Cisco training:

Thankfully below, LANWANprofessional.com provides an overview of the more than $28K in Cisco training costs that its interns will pay it.

Raising a giant red flag about its offer, the last sentence in the screenshot above requires Cisco interns to pay LANWANprofessional.com upfront exam fees of $1,900.00.

However in my personal opinion, it's an especially giant red flag because the price list of Cisco's exam testing center, Pearson Vue, is so economically priced by comparison.

So if its Cisco exam fees appear overpriced, does that mean that its Cisco training appears overpriced too?

What's your take, at $28K and $1.9K in upfront exam fees, is LANWANprofessional.com offering a bargain for its Cisco training?
