Hi my name is Jeremy and i have joined this forum looking for help and advice from you.
I am 44 years old and computers have been my hobby since around 1995. I have studied the a+ certification and through my job (Bus Driver) my employer has offered me career development. I explained to my employer my love of computers and that i build computers for friends and local playgroups, and would like to work with computers on the support side. I have an interview with H.R next week and they are going to fund me for training.
So my question to you is :- should i go the whole hog ie MCSE or do i go for MCDST or is there a better route? I must admit that the mcse is a daunting concept but i will deffinitley work hard to acheive my goal.
Thanks
Jezza

Welcome to the forum

Certs are meant to mirror your real world experience with a technology, so there is little point in going for the MCSE unless you have a year or so experience in administrating servers, using active directory across multiple sites.

You should be looking at entry level certifications, learn to walk and get a solid foundation of knowledge to build upon.

CompTIA A+ N+ (though these now expire in three years) may be worth looking into or Microsoft's MCDST.

 

thanks for the quick reply i think i will go for mcdst cheers

 

You're most welcome

 

Welcome Jeremy,
Good luck with the MCDST.
