Just a bump, anyone know of them?

 

Sorry never heard of them and if they have spammed you, I wouldn't touch them.

 

Just went to their site, and they seem to be another distant learning company... but strangely, the prices are now shown on the site, you have to call for details... (not sure whether that is normally in these cases)

IMO for me, that alone i dont like...

 

ye, I think I will stick with the Self studing with Just books.

 

Basically a while back I mentioned about getting MS qualifications at work - they weren't keen on sending me on expensive courses etc and so I mentioned I would be willing to do home study.

I looked at a number of the home study courses on line and plumped for affordable training after chatting to the sales people.

Basically they provided the courses in multiple cds and sybex books - the cds are video tutorials from american Microsoft tutors and they provide 2nd edition sybex books.

As regards prices they can be bargained with, I managed to get full MCSA, MCSE, MCDBA for Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 for about £2500.

Basically the courses I got were as follows :

70-210 Win 2K Pro
70-215 Win 2K Svr
70-216 Win 2K Network Infr
70-217 Win 2K Dir Svcs Infr
70-219 Design Win 2K Dir Svcs
70-228 Install & config SQL 2K
70-229 Design & Impl SQL 2K

70-290 Manage 2003 Svr Environ
70-291 Impl & Man Svr 2003 Netw Infr
70-293 Planning Svr 2003 Netw Infr
70-294 Planning Svr 2003 AD Infr
70-270 Windows XP
70-298 Designing Security Svr 2003 Netw

And the books with the cds.

I have found them to be pretty good but its all personal choice.

Is there any way to legally lend a 'backup' of one of the cds for people on the forums to try out ???

 

In short NO!

Well the website advertises that you can request a free course to see what you think.

You paid £2500 for your course but this doesnt inlcude the exam fees as i found out. They didnt mention this on the phone that exams were not included and trying to register for a website to book your exam was so hard to do online just kept looping around i wasnt impressed
