Microsoft - MCPD Upgrade from MCAD to MCPD - Overview

Seven reasons why you should sit your MCPD course with Firebrand Training

You’ll be MCPD certified in just 7 days. With us, you’ll be MCPD trained in record time
Our MCPD course is all-inclusive. A one-off fee covers all course materials, exams, accommodation and meals. No hidden extras
Pass MCPD first time or train again for free. This is our guarantee. We're sure you'll pass your MCPD course first time. But if you don’t, come back within a year, and only pay for accommodation and exams. Everything else is free
You’ll learn more MCPD. A day with a traditional training provider generally runs from 9am – 5pm, with a nice long break for lunch. With Firebrand Training you’ll get at least 12 hours/day quality learning time, with your instructor
You’ll learn MCPD faster. Chances are, you’ll have a different learning style to those around you. We combine visual, auditory and tactile styles to deliver the material in a way that ensures you will learn faster and more easily
You’ll be studying MCPD with the best. We have won the Institute of IT Training’s "Training Company of the Year" a record three times. As well as winning many more awards, we’ve trained and certified 20,000 professionals, and we’re partners with all of the big names in the business
You'll do more than study MCPD courseware. We use labs, case studies and practice tests to make sure you can apply your new knowledge to the work environment. Our instructors use demonstrations and real-world experience to keep the day interesting and engaging.

Our 7 Day MCPD Upgrade is perfect for you if you have already gained the MCAD certification and are developing .NET Framework 2.0 applications that use Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 or creating Web applications that use ASP.NET 2.0.
