    MSCE - Do you have one and what company did you use?

    I have decided its time to get my MCSE but there are so many places out there that provide the training its just stupid!

    I need to get my MCSE ASAP so I may need a boot camp style thing to get it done but I have no idea who to go with and how much this is going to cost.

    PS I noticed my mistake in the title... doh!

    I have been considering buying the study packs and taking the exam when i'm ready, works out much cheaper + you can do it when you have a mind to.

    Its going to cost £lots
    Quickest way would be doing a bootcamp - not got any suggestions (sorry)
    However, by doing it that method are you actually learning anything, or just learning how to pass the exam you are set?

    I think by doing the bootcamp you are 100% sure of passing. There is a good reason I need to get this done ASAP though.

    Always thought I should do one - what are the elements you have to do to "Qualify" as an MCSE?

    Even a bootcamp isnt 100% pass as you still have to put the work in, but you wont learn as much as you would in every day use as an MCSE, just enough to pass the exams. We looked at these courses at work, one was £7500 + VAT, 2 week onsite intense training.

    Re: MSCE - Do you have one and what company did you use?

    my MCSE took me a while to do , but I did it with a mixture of self study & courses. All my trainig was with QA-IQ - not too cheap , but a good training provider.

    Costs wise - its about £80 for each exam ( of which you need 7 for MSCE , the new 2008 stuff is different )
    Training courses vary but expaect to pay up to £200 a day unless you can get a discount rate )
