Nope. she has no credit at all. She's still married to my dad, and never established any cerdit, good or bad, in her own name. She's going to ask her boyfriend.fiance/life partener/whatever tonight, but I'm not holding my breath.

$25k for a 6 month course? That really doesn't sound right. That course would cost more in six months than my year in law school. Even deducting the cost of a new computer, books, and vouchers, it still seems kinda steep.
I would find out more information and look around. There may be other schools (ITT tech springs to mind) that can offer the same certification for less tuition. In addition, I would check out whether any place you are interested in as to whether or not a certification from that school would be a good thing or a bad thing when it comes to looking for a job with it.

I have to second this.
Also try a community college by you, many of them have certification programs.
Ask Dan about Chubb?
There are tons of people that get to school with horrible credit and little income and no parental help. We just have to help you find out how they do it. Don't lose hope!

Ditto - don't give up hope yet, just allocate a little more time to shopping around. And ask around our circle for advice - some folks might have some experience with this kind of thing.

Welcome to the world of corporate IT training. I just double checked to make sure prices haven't changed lately, and they haven't.
Sun: Average $3000 for a 5-day course, $2100 for three. 5-day courses vary from $2500 for one or two introductory classes through $3500 for higher-end stuff.
Veritas: Averages about $3500 for 5 days, $1400 for 2. Their Windows and Unix prices are identical for the courses I checked.
That really sucks Dom, I'm sorry to hear that this woman is once again being so awful to you. But I think there are other options, less expensive ones. Community colleges are a good start, they are very helpful financially.
Either way, if I can help in some other way than offering my support and *hugs*, please let me know.
