Hi,
Anyone know of good places to do Microsoft Professional certifications?
I was looking at netcampus but they currently still only have VS2005 courses with .NET 2.0 and I want to go for VS2010 with .NET 4.0. Also I find recommendations a good place to start looking as it generally gives you an idea of who will rip you off and who won't.

Who is Sonja, and can I meet her too?
Damn Tribble, Do you just have connections everywhere!?
When I wanted singing classes you had the connections, and now I'm doing it.
When someone (on the other end of the scale I might add) needs Programming Certification, you have the connections there too.
You mafia?

I wish....
On the other hand.... Kronos the company you work for does not perhaps have a preferred training house they use?

Yes - it is not what you know - but who you know
I train there. That is how I know them. And Sonja is a lovely, single lady
Of course you can meet her too. Glad you are doing the singing thing - I have always wanted to but don't have the guts to hear that I am terrible at it.
@RRF I will call them now.

Thanks Tribble... I think our company has self study in mind but to hell with it. I'd go sit in a class for 23 days if need be.

Nope - exams are not included. You have to do the Prometric tests

Got one for R18 360.00 incl vat. it includes exam vouchers. But it is a self study course. LGIT is close to our offices so I might even get it motivated.
