Doing it now EOB. There are two courses and two exams. So far I've learnt little that I didn't know before, though I have clarified one or two things. The first course is about XP Pro in a networked environment - both workgroup and domain. The second course, which I've yet to get the book/folder for, is about the typical applications that run on XP Pro, including IE and Outlook (Express).

The people on my course (all 3 of them) are either learning more about XP Pro, without or without taking the exams (they're not compulsary), or are certifying existing knowledge, which is more what I'm doing.

One other point, if you look at the MCSA qualification specs, you'll see that the MCDST can be used in place of the elective, which is what I'm thinking of doing. So the MCDST can be seen as a step towards an MCSA.
