Dude, you don't have to spend 4,000 pounds to get this
certification (MCSD.NET). Go to http://www.testking.com
and and purchase the Question and Answers, Study Guide and
online testing feature. Each test will cost you about
$100 American if you get all three facets of them.

Here is what I do. I buy the Q/A - Study Guide and work
through each example by making sure I understand the
concept that the question is presenting, then I lookup as
many things about that concept as possible in the online
documentation ... as well as in the study guide.

Then, when I finish with the Q/A and study guide I take
the two online tests, timed and untimed. By the time I'm
finished (takes about a month for each test to do it
right). I walk into the exam center and am out in about
30 minutes.

Total cost including taking the test is roughly $225 per
exam.

As for how these exams help your Job Opportunities, they
help you get in the door. Simply having a certification
does not prove you really know the tool. It shows you
know how to take tests, most employers know this. But it
certainly helps getting you in front of a human where you
can really "show your stuff".
