Student support is absolutely essential - ensure you track down something offering 24x7 direct access to instructors, as anything less will frustrate you and could hamper your progress. Avoid those companies that use 'out-of-hours' messaging systems - where an advisor will call back during normal office hours. This is no use if you're stuck and need help now.

We recommend that you search for training schools that have multiple support offices across multiple time-zones. Each one should be integrated to give a single entry point and also 24x7 access, when it suits you, with the minimum of hassle. Never make do with a lower level of service. Direct-access round-the-clock support is the only kind that ever makes the grade when it comes to IT learning. It's possible you don't intend to study late evenings; but for most of us, we're out at work while the support is live.

The area most overlooked by new students considering a training program is the concept of 'training segmentation'. This is essentially how the program is broken down into parts for timed release to you, which vastly changes the point you end up at. Often, you'll enrol on a course that takes between and 1 and 3 years and receive one element at a time until graduation. This sounds logical on one level, until you consider this: Students often discover that their providers usual training route is not what they would prefer. They might find a slightly different order suits them better. Perhaps you don't make it in the allotted time?

The ideal circumstances are to get all the learning modules couriered to your home before you even start; the complete package! Then, nothing can hinder your progress.

In order to successfully obtain your MCSA certification, there are 4 'MCP' (Microsoft Certified Professional) examinations that you need to pass. There are actually 3 compulsory 'core' examinations, and a fourth 'elective' exam. An additional elective within the group is the CompTIA Security+ , which is now preferred by many candidates rather than a 4th MCP. To successfully achieve your full 'MCSE' there are seven MCP exams to gain. These predominantly place importance upon network design, Security & systems-planning.
