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.

They do offer it and have dates listed. And you could meet Sonja then ;-)

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? :P

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 :lol: 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. :lol:

@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.
