Does anyone know how much this costs and where's best to do it?

Preferably online?

Have a look at the Open University, they've moved on from using BBC2 at 4am!

Re: MCSE 2000 Certification?
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.

Re: MCSE 2000 Certification?
Cheers for the advice guys!

I've decided to go for it!

SmartCertify.co.uk

MCSE for £1,299

This includes the full 7 MCPs for the MCSE, plus the CompTIA A+ course (which is carries an elective credit apprantly, says one of Neil's links!)

The nice guys over at SmartCerify.co.uk (the IT division of Skillsoft) are letting me pay for it over a 12month interest free payment plan


...this'll keep me out of trouble over the summer months! :pp :pp

MCSE ... The real meaning

Minesweeper Consultant and Solitaire Expert
mail consumed somewhere in exchange
making companies surrender everyday
making computers slow everyday
making computers spew errors
management can't send e-mail
management conned by something expensive
managing crap systems everyday
manipulative closed-source economics
many collisions saturate ethernet
minion of the crappy software empire
misconceived computer science experiment
misunderstanding cryptically strange errors
monkies composing shakespearian equivalents
moron confused by sun equipment
most computers suck eggs
must consult someone experienced
my company screws everyone
my computer's software exploded
my cranium softened easily

Re: MCSE 2000 Certification?
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.

Re: MCSE 2000 Certification?
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:
