Get The Boot - A Birds-Eye Look Into MCSE Boot Camps
MCSE boot camps have its supporters and its detractors. Some
people do not understand why you should have to spend money on
boot camp when you can get the MCSE study materials yourself at
a fraction of the camp price. However, who has the willpower to
actually sit through a self-imposed MCSE training? Not too many
people! That is what the MCSE boot camps are for.
These boot camps are typically an intense two-week long MCSE
training course that prepares you for the MCSE exams. Some
companies that conduct boot camps offering Microsoft
certification, especially the MCSE, guarantee that you will pass
your MCSE exams. If you happen to fail, they will usually issue
a voucher to try it again. For many people who attend these MCSE
boot camps, it is preferable to have an intense two weeks with
little to distract you rather than drawing out the classes for
weeks with outside influences like work and family interfering
with study time. Sure, being gone for two weeks is a temporary
hassle, but you will have your certification in a fraction of
the time.
Did you catch the being gone for two weeks bit? You can probably
find a boot camp near your home, but most likely you will end up
attending an MCSE boot camp away from your home, far enough away
where it is not worth it to commute. Two weeks away from home?
That doesn't sound like a picnic! But just think of the rewards
you will reap after trudging through all that MCSE training and
taking the MCSE exams.
If you are lucky, your company will pick up the tab on your
Microsoft certification. Paying on your own is a major
investment, usually a few thousand dollars depending on where
the location is and if hotel and meals are included in the
price. For your money, you will get a tough instructor, an MCSE
drill sergeant for lack of a better description. That
instructor's reputation is on the line, so he or she will be
motivated to ensure your success. That is why the success rate
for these MCSE boot camps is high, in some places as high as 95%!
For your investment, you will have numerous MCSE training
sessions in Networking Basics as well as learning about the
infrastructure of a network. You will study security design,
directories and how to manage Windows network environments.
Hands-on training in learning labs with after-hours access for
extra practice is the norm. Practice MCSE exams are also given
out as a study tool and to also help prepare you for your own
test time.
Microsoft certifications are here to stay and the MCSE is a
popular avenue to travel. If you have got the time and can swing
the cost, MCSE boot camps will definitely give you a boost into
a new career.
