CCNA into UCAS points?
Well, I have no idea of working out where to palce this one but here it goes:
CCNA is either a Pass or a Fail. Say I pass, how many UCAS points is it?

If you're referring to "Cisco Certified Network Associate" when you say CCNA, then I doubt it gives you any UCAS Tariff points I'm afraid.

CCNA won't really give you that much credit anyway, if you like that kind of thing very few companies will take you on with less than a CCNP. Its what i am going into, i'm about halfway through my CCNP now, will try and get a job then do my CCIE.
But yeah, doubt it is worth UCAS points, good thing on the old CV/Personal Statement though.

Wow. Bye bye uni courses where I need like 3 A's.
Ah right 
What is it you want to do? If it is Network Administration, there is hardly any point in gaining a dagree for it, since a lot of them are MCSE qualifications, and something like 80% of businesses only deal with Cisco Certified admins. Save yourself a bit of dosh and try and get a junior job!

I got offers from Reading, Warwick, Imperial and Bristol with only 2 A-levels, an AS and a CCNA (chose Bristol). A CCNA doesn't officially count for any UCAS points but that doesn't mean universities will ignore it. For Warwick and Bristol, passing it was a condition of the offer. It wasn't for Imperial but I think they were willing to accept only 2 full A-levels because they knew that I was doing something else useful with my time and my lack of A-levels wasn't just because I was lazy.
Some of the uni's with lower entry requirements often accept it. I know that for some courses Portsmouth treat it as an A at A-level.
Im doing 2 A-Levels and Cisco CCNA, but lucky for me, the course i want to do only requires 2 alevels anyway.
My cisco teacher went to some cisco meeting thing a few days ago and told us that it may count towards UCAS points in 2008 entry. A bit too late for me tho
However, when i went to opendays i asked about this, and most said if i didnt get the full amount of points, they may concider Cisco.

i was just curious as to whether an MCSE would be worth any UCAS points?

Cisco or Microsoft certifications are known as 'Professional Qualifications' and therefore are not equivalent to A Levels or GCSEs. They do not count for any type of UCAS point system but are quite handy for the personal statement if pursuing a course within ICT or network administration etc.
