As your research has brought you here it's possible that either you're considering a career change into IT and you've heard good things about MCSE's, or you could already be in IT and you've realised that your career is blocked until your get the MCSE accreditation.
As you find out about training providers, don't use those who reduce their out-goings by not providing the latest Microsoft level. In the long-run, this will frustrate and cost the student a lot more due to the fact that they've been educated in an old version of MCSE which inevitably will have to be up-dated to suit the working environment.
Computer training companies must be committed to finding the right path for aspiring trainees. Directing learning is equally about helping people to work out which direction to go in, as it is helping to help them get there.
Training support for students is an absolute must - find a program providing 24x7 full access, as anything else will annoy you and definitely impede your ability to learn.
Avoid those companies which use 'out-of-hours' messaging systems - where you'll get called back during the next 'working' day. This is no use if you're stuck and need an answer now.
The very best training providers incorporate three or four individual support centres across multiple time-zones. An online system provides an interactive interface to seamlessly link them all together, any time of the day or night, help is just seconds away, without any contact issues or hassle.
Search out a company that is worth purchasing from. Only proper live 24x7 support delivers what is required.
The way a programme is physically sent to you can often be overlooked. How is the courseware broken down? What is the specific order and what control do you have at what pace it arrives?
Individual deliveries for each training module one piece at a time, taking into account your exam passes is the usual method of releasing your program. This sounds logical, but you must understand the following:
What could you expect if you didn't actually complete every section at the required speed? Often the prescribed exam order won't fit you as well as some other structure would for you.
For maximum flexibility and safety, it's normal for most trainees to make sure that every element of their training is sent immediately, and not in a piecemeal fashion. That means it's down to you in which order and at what speed you want to go.
One interesting way that colleges make a lot more is by charging for exams up-front then giving it 'Exam Guarantee' status. It looks impressive, but is it really:
You'll be charged for it one way or another. You can be assured it's not a freebie - it's simply been shoe-horned into the price as a whole.
Passing first time is everyone's goal. Going for exams when it's appropriate and paying as you go puts you in a much stronger position to qualify at the first attempt - you revise thoroughly and think carefully about the costs.
Isn't it in your interests to find the best exam deal or offer when you're ready, instead of paying a premium to the training college, and also to sit exams more locally - instead of the remote centre that's convenient only to the trainer?
Is there a good reason to pay interest on a bigger loan than is necessary because you've paid early for examinations when there was no need to? A great deal of money is secured by training companies charging all their exam fees up-front - and then cashing in when they're not all taken.
You should fully understand that re-takes via training companies who offer an 'Exam Guarantee' are monitored with tight restrictions. They will insist that you take pre-tests first until you've demonstrated an excellent ability to pass.
Average exam fees were about 112 pounds in the last 12 months when taken at VUE or Pro-metric centres in the UK. So don't be talked into shelling out hundreds or thousands of pounds more for 'an Exam Guarantee', when it's obvious that the responsible approach is a commitment to studying and the use of authorised exam preparation tools.
You should look for an accredited exam preparation programme included in your course.
Students regularly can be thrown off course by practicing questions for their exams that don't come from official sources. Often, the terminology in the real exams can be quite different and you should be prepared for this.
Mock exams are enormously valuable in helping you build your confidence - so when it comes to taking the real thing, you won't be worried.
