Both if you're a beginner, or an IT professional hoping to polish up your CV, there are interactive MCSA (Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator) courses that are suitable for both student levels. To become certified at the level of MCSA there are four MCP's (Microsoft Certified Professional exams) needed to be passed. If this is your first entry into computing exams, it's likely you'll have to learn a few things before doing the first of the MCP's. Find a provider that can help you sort out the ideal program for you and can match a course start point to your current skill set.

Some certification companies are still using the rather old-fashioned idea of classroom days. Quite often pushed as a positive point, if you track down someone who's been through a few, you'll most likely hear about many or most of these:

* Repeated visits to the centre - very long trips in many cases.

* Getting time out of work - typical colleges provide Mon-Fri class availability and link several days together. If you're working then this can be difficult, even more so when travel time is included.

* Usually, we find 4 weeks off each year is barely enough. Take away over half of it for study workshops and see your problems doubled.

* Because of the cost involved, most colleges fill the classes up to the brim - which isn't ideal (and much less personal).

* Workshop pace - classes invariably feature students of different abilities, therefore tension can run high between the quicker-learners and those who prefer a more relaxed pace.

* Quite a lot of students tell us of the considerable cost of travelling back and forth to the training facility while forking out for food and accommodation can get very high.

* Privacy is important to us all. We wouldn't want to run the risk of throwing away any potential advancement that could awarded to us while we're training.

* Most of us feel awkward about asking questions when surrounded by other trainees - so we don't appear ignorant.

* Where students have to occasionally live away for part of the week, imagine the increased difficulty in reaching the necessary workshops, as time is now more scarce than ever.

The best possible solution is watching a ready-made, videoed class - providing direct instruction at any time of day. If anything comes up, use the provided 24x7 live support (that you should have insisted on for any technical study.) Keep in mind, if you have a laptop, you could study wherever the mood takes you. It really doesn't matter how many times you feel you need to repeat something, video tutors will never get annoyed or frustrated! And remember, as an added bonus, note-taking is a thing of the past. It's all there for immediate use. The final upshot: Much less stress and hassle, money saved, and you've got no travelling to do.
