Does an MCSE appeal to you? It's very possible then that you'll fall into one of two camps: You're currently an IT professional and you should formalise your skills with the MCSE qualification. In contrast you could be completely new to the computer workplace, and research demonstrates that there are many opportunities for certified networking professionals.
When looking into training companies, make sure you stay away from those that compromise their offerings by not upgrading their courses to the latest level of Microsoft development. This is no use to the student as they will have been learning from an out-of-date syllabus which doesn't correspond to the current exam syllabus, so they'll probably fail. Don't rush into buying a course for MCSE before you feel comfortable. Look for a training provider who will make sure that you're on the most suitable training path for you.
It's essential to have the current Microsoft (or relevant organisation's) authorised simulation materials and exam preparation packages. Some students can be thrown off course by going through practice questions that don't come from official sources. Sometimes, the way questions are phrased can be completely unlike un-authorised versions and you should be prepared for this. 'Mock' or practice exams are invaluable as a resource to you - so when it comes to taking the real deal, you don't get phased.
So many training providers only look at the plaque to hang on your wall, and forget why you're doing this - which is of course employment. You should always begin with the end in mind - don't get hung-up on the training vehicle. Don't let yourself become one of those unfortunate people that choose a course which looks like it could be fun - and get to the final hurdle of an accreditation for something they'll never enjoy.
You need to keep your eye on where you want to go, and build your study action-plan from that - don't do it the other way round. Stay on target and ensure that you're training for a job that'll reward you for many long and fruitful years. Seek guidance and advice from an experienced advisor, even if there's a fee involved - it's much safer and cheaper to investigate at the start if something is going to suit and interest you, instead of discovering following two years of study that you've picked the wrong track and have to return to the start of another program.
Throw out the typical salesman who just tells you what course you should do without a decent chat to better understand your current abilities and also your level of experience. Make sure they can draw from a generous stable of training programs so they can give you an appropriate solution. Sometimes, the level to start at for a student with a little experience can be hugely dissimilar to the student with no experience. It's wise to consider some basic PC skills training first. This can help whip your basic knowledge into shape and make the learning curve a much more gentle.
One thing you must always insist on is 24x7 round-the-clock support through trained professional instructors and mentors. So many companies we come across only provide support to you inside of office hours (typically 9am-6pm) and sometimes a little earlier or later (but not weekends usually). Email support is too slow, and phone support is often to a call-centre who will make some notes and then email an advisor - who'll call back sometime over the next 1-3 days, at a suitable time to them. This is all next to useless if you're stuck with a particular problem and only have certain times available in which to do your studies.
Be on the lookout for training schools that utilise many support facilities active in different time-zones. All of them should be combined to enable simple one-stop access as well as 24 hours-a-day access, when you need it, with no hassle. Never make the mistake of compromise where support is concerned. Most trainees that fall by the wayside, are in that situation because of support (or the lack of).
