Preferably online?

Here's an update so far... :)

Spoke to the OU and they don't do Microsoft certs only their own computing courses.

They did however transfer me to Learndirect (not just the number but an actual call transfer). The lady at Learndirect was helpful, I basically told her the course and she pointed me int he direction of a few companies that offer the course:

• Training link (Birmingham) - 0800 794 2822
• Education Bureau (Lincolnshire) - 01469 519 319
  
  They also gave the the number to Microsoft's Education Helpline:
• 0800 917 0758

Learndirect are on 0800 100 900 ;)

I'm off for some din dins then I'm going to make some calls ;)

The last time I had a look at the MCSE is was about £600 for the years study and examinations. But That was about 6 or 7 months ago.

manipulative closed-source economics

my company screws everyone
my computer's software exploded

PMSL. :rofl:

But I still believe to many people have too much time on their hands. ;)

Hmm.... MCSE....

I'd be vary carefull on this mate.. I used to teach ICT at my local College, some of our staff had teh chance to do the MCSE for networking, I opted notto bother ;)
The ones that did the course were DISGUSTED!
A guy came in to the college (asking for £750 per day) for 3 hours and read to them from a book!
At the end of the course, he GAVE them the bloody book!!!

They wern't actully tought anything they couldn't have read for themselves.


Now, I'm not saying all MCSE courses are this bad, but do a bit of research before you start and make sure that whoever you go with has been doing MCSE fro some time and have resident staff to teach teh program.

I've no idea which qualifications you've got but you might be better off doing a BTEC type of course, or maybe specialising in database stuff or Linux.
I'm going for the BTEC route myself, one in Computing Studies and one in programming:
