Hello.
Found these excellent forums while researching training centers in the U.K. Really is a good resource you made here.
I have registered because I'd really like a little advice (like so may others!).

In 2000(dec) I got the MCP and since then have been building and fixing computers and installing all types of O/S's part time as a mobile E-handyman.

I regret stopping the study very much but you know how life can be. Now I'm really keen to start again.

From what I can gather over the last afternoon a very thorough route I might take now would be

A+ N+ MCDST

While looking for a first low level tech job or even doing some free days for schools for example for experience. Then later

MCSA/MCSE.

So to cut to the chase have I over cooked it? Having a MCP (which may be outdated now?) could I miss any of these exams out?
Is there still a skills shortage in the U.K. as the training company like to suggest? (man I hate those guys )

Any way, my name is Andrew, and I thank you in advance for taking the time to suggest anything. If you like just say hello!
Bye.

Hi and welcome to CF!

The route you map out looks perfectly good to me.

As far as I know MCPs don't expire as such - but Microsoft may have retired the one you have. There is usualy a route for updateing it though.
