Hey guys, I'm currently studying for my MCDST (self study, woo!)
I purchased Walter Glenn and Tony Northrup's text books (the self paced text books)
And there's a free £25 course in there, although I'm unsure which 'course' I should go for there's a whole list of 'em;

EL - INFOPATH 2003
EL - INFOPATH 2007
EL - OFFICE 2003
EL - OFFICE 2007
EL - OFFICE COMMUNICATIONS SERVER 2007
EL - OFFICE GROOVE 2007
EL - OFFICE LIVE MEETING 2005
EL - OFFICE SMALL BUSINESS ACCOUNTING 2006
EL - OFFICE XP
EL - ONENOTE 2003
EL - ONENOTE 2007
EL - VISIO 2002/2003
EL - VISIO 2007

Which 2 do you think I should go for and what would be the most beneficial?

(Also I'm having problems redeeming my code but they ain't called me back yet...)

Thanks!

if you're doing MCDST, then I would suggest that

EL - OFFICE XP

would be most useful - then either

EL - OFFICE 2003 or
EL - OFFICE 2007

or if you want to learn something new, personally I would go for

EL - VISIO 2002/2003 or
EL - VISIO 2007

 

Hey guys thanks for your help.

I've managed to activate the voucher and I've only got 6 choices to pick from, they are;

1. Please choose one free course from the list below:

IT Professional Courses
Course 6536: Implementing Hyper-V in Windows Server 2008 – 2 hours
Course 5073: Installing the Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Messaging System - 2 hours
Course 5250: Introduction to Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 - 2 hours

Developer Courses
Course 6686: Getting Started with Language Integrated Query in Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 – 2 hours
Course 3396: Introduction to VSTO 2005 SE - 2 hours
Course 6654: Introduction to Windows Communication Foundation - 2 hours

I can choose any two of the six above.
Any pointers?

 

Well, if you're a server admin, I'd recommend any of the first three. If you're a programmer, I'd recommend any of the last three.

 

Well I'm not really anything at the moment, just looking for a helpdesk/desktop support role.
Perhaps in the future I would like to be MCSA or MCSE, but not 100%, I'd love to be an IT Director, but that's gonna take some doing, lol.

 

To be brutally honest, I'm not sure that any of the courses will do you a lot of good at this stage in your career. However, the knowledge may eventually be useful to you. If you must take courses, I'd recommend any of the top three. I would say that Exchange is used more often than Hyper-V or Sharepoint, though all three are useful.

 

I guess we're talking about access to the MS e-learning stuff here?
