Hi guys,

I am new to this forum and this is my first thread

I will soon be starting as a PC and Network Assistant with a company local to me, after completing a IT apprenticeship. There will be only two of us in the IT department for the company, basically the administrators understudy.

I am absolutely delighted with getting the job and due to the fact i showed my enthusiasm to learn more and gain more skills and qualifications in the role, they have offered my some qualifications to study towards and pay for as well as getting paid study time for these exams and a pay increase as well!

The current relevant qualifications i hold are as follows: A+, MTA: Networking & Operating System Fundamentals and MCTS: Win 7.

My company are currently offering me the chance to study the: MTA: Security & Server and MCTIP: Enterprise Desktop Admin.

I am curious as to what you guys think i should consider studying towards after i complete these certifications. Qualifications i am currently considering is the 70-685 as well as the equivalent exams for Windows Server

Any advice you guys can give me would be great!!
