Default MCSE training and certification


Hi,

I would like to complete the training and gain my MCSE certification. As i
am currently in full time employment (I have the backing of my company to do
this course) and have a young family i am looking to do open/distance
learning. There seems to be so many companies offering the necessary
training that i would really appreciate any first hand recommendations of
reputable/proven companies. I live just outside of London.

Thank you for your time.

"on-site" training.

Get a laptop, VMWare Workstation, MS Press books, and go to the library.
Take a class after you've done that to prepare for the exams. You'll learn
the material better this way and not just cram for the tests.

indeed.

I personally have no idea about training companies in the uk, however
a couple of brits I know well have mentioned learning tree as being
good, expensive though. Mind you these people were on project
management course's (prince 2) so not mcse related.

Anyway if your company's paying, then fine do courses, otherwise don't
bother, the exams are not difficult for experienced people and
everything you need to pass these exams can be found on technet &
msdn.

oh one other thing, avoid brain dumps, testsh*t etc - I have no time
or respect for cheats as is the case with most people here.

Did you always have an English accent or only
when you're talking to the birds?

Thank you for your advice Maybe i should investigate further just taking
the exams as i do already have a fair bit of experience under my belt. I
have looked at Learning Tree among other companies. There is such a
variation on cost though - do you get what you pay for? Or am i just
sceptical of anyone offering the courses at rates that seem too competitive?!

And, just to clarify, you won't catch me trying to cheat. It's a
qualification i'd like to earn and be proud of gaining - and i wouldnt be if
i didnt do it properly
