As you've arrived here there's a good chance that you're about to make a move into the great world of IT and the MCSE has reared its head, or you're already in a networking related industry and it's apparent that you can't get any further without the MCSE accreditation.
When researching training companies, don't use those who reduce their costs by failing to up-grade to the latest version from Microsoft. Overall, this will frustrate and cost the student much more due to the fact that they've been educated in an out-of-date syllabus which will require an up-date very quickly. Don't be pushed into a training program before having all your questions answered. Set your sights on finding a training provider that will make sure that you're on the best course for your requirements.
Of all the important things to consider, one of the most essential is always comprehensive 24x7 direct-access support through dedicated instructors and mentors. Far too often we see trainers who only provide office hours (or extended office hours) support. Beware of institutions who use call-centres 'out-of-hours' - with the call-back coming in during office hours. This is useless when you're stuck and need an answer now.
We recommend looking for providers that utilise many support facilities active in different time-zones. These should be integrated to give a single entry point and 24 hours-a-day access, when you want it, without any problems. Unless you insist on direct-access round-the-clock support, you'll regret it very quickly. You might not want to use the service late at night, but what about weekends, evenings and early mornings at some point.
We can guess that you're a practical sort of person - a 'hands-on' individual. Usually, the unfortunate chore of reading reference guides can be just about bared when essential, but you really wouldn't enjoy it. So look for on-screen interactive learning packages if book-based learning really isn't your style. Many studies have proved that long term memory is improved when all our senses are involved, and we take action to use what we've learned.
Programs are now found via DVD-ROM discs, where everything is taught on your PC. Using video-streaming, you are able to see your instructors showing you how to perform the required skill, with some practice time to follow - in an interactive lab. All companies should be able to show you some samples of the type of training materials they provide. Make sure you encounter videos of instructor-led classes and a variety of interactive modules.
Some companies only have access to just online versions of their training packages; and while this is acceptable much of the time, imagine the problems if you lose your internet access or you only get very a very slow connection sometimes. It's preferable to have CD and DVD ROM materials which don't suffer from these broadband issues.
Commercially accredited qualifications are now, undoubtedly, beginning to replace the more academic tracks into IT - so why is this the case? Corporate based study (in industry terminology) is far more effective and specialised. Industry has realised that a specialist skill-set is essential to service the demands of a technically advancing marketplace. CISCO, Adobe, Microsoft and CompTIA are the key players in this arena. This is done by concentrating on the skills that are really needed (together with a proportionate degree of background knowledge,) as opposed to trawling through all the background 'padding' that degree courses are prone to get tied up in - to fill a three or four year course.
Put yourself in the employer's position - and you needed to take on someone with a very particular skill-set. What's the simplest way to find the right person: Trawl through a mass of different academic qualifications from several applicants, struggling to grasp what they've learned and what workplace skills they've mastered, or select a specialised number of commercial certifications that perfectly fit your needs, and make your short-list from that. The interview is then more about the person and how they'll fit in - rather than establishing whether they can do a specific task.
