A Firebrand Training
12
Day Course
If you are developing .NET Framework 2.0 applications that use Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 or creating Web applications that use ASP.NET 2.0, the Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS) credentials highlights your job role, featuring your specific area of expertise. Now you can easily distinguish yourself as an expert in Windows development, Web application development, or distributed applications development. There are three MCTS certification paths:
You will have the skills necessary to build interactive, data-driven Web applications that use ASP.NET 2.0 for both intranet and Internet uses.
You will have the skills necessary to build rich client applications that target the Windows Forms platform using the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0.
You will have the skills necessary to develop, implement, and deploy XML Web services, .NET Framework remoting, Enterprise Services, and Message Queuing technology.
The combined MCTS program is a highly interactive 12-day developer class designed to teach Web, Windows, and Distributed Application Developers how to build interactive, data-driven middle-tier and client applications, targeting the Windows Forms platform using the .NET Framework 2.0, produce intranet and Internet Web applications that use ASP.NET 2.0, and develop business and data layer applications that use such technologies as Web Services, Remoting, Enterprise Services, and Queuing.
Other accelerated training providers rely heavily on lecture and independent self-testing and study.
Effective technical instruction must be highly varied and interactive to keep attention levels high, promote camaraderie and teamwork between the students and instructor, and solidify knowledge through hands-on learning.
This information has been provided as a helpful tool for candidates considering certification. Benefits of certification determined through studies do not guarantee any particular personal successes. Firebrand Training provides a guarantee of obtaining certification at the camp, but does not make any guarantees about personal successes or benefits of obtaining certification.
While attending this blended-learning program, you will receive a robust set of course materials that caters to each of the three primary individual learning-intake styles (auditory, visual, and kinaesthetic-tactual) - critical for a successful accelerated learning experience.
Daily lectures, labs, and review sessions are supplemented by a combination of:
Our MCTS program contains customized official Microsoft courseware which covers the following materials:
Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS) enables professionals to target specific technologies and distinguish themselves by demonstrating in-depth knowledge and expertise in their specialised technologies. It allows them to pursue careers as web developers, windows developers, or enterprise application developers. At Firebrand Training we offer an efficient approach to achieve all three certifications in one combined class. The exams provide a valid and reliable measure of technical proficiency and expertise. During the MCTS .NET 2.0 and Visual Studio 2005 Firebrand Training, students will take the following exams:
Firebrand Training offers top-quality technical education and certification training in an all-inclusive course package specifically designed for the needs and ease of our students. We attend to every detail so our students can focus solely on their studies and certification goals.
Our instructors teach to accommodate every student's learning needs through individualised instruction, hands-on labs, lab partner and group exercises, independent study, self-testing, and question/answer drills.
Firebrand Training has dedicated, well-equipped educational facilities where you will attend instruction and labs and have access to comfortable study and lounging rooms. Our students consistently say our facilities are second-to-none.
Should a student complete a Firebrand Training Program without having successfully passed all vendor examinations, the student may re-attend that program for a period of one year. Students will only be responsible for accommodations and vendor exam fees.
Candidates for any of the MCTS certifications are expected to have:

Candidates are also encouraged, but not required, to have the following additional experience for the individual MCTS certifications:
Firebrand Training staff interview all potential students regarding their technical background, degrees and certifications held, and personal fortitude. This screening process ensures a successful match between the customer and Firebrand Training toward accelerated training and certification.
Firebrand Training is an aggressive training environment. You must have an attitude aimed for success. The above prerequisites are guidelines, but many students with less experience have other background or traits that have enabled their success in accelerated training through Firebrand Training.
"An excellent course. The pacing was just right, with several long days of lectures, but with time always being made available for additional reading and lab work, which is essential on a course like this. Despite not completing all the exams yet (I decided to defer the Windows 2008 exams in order to get some more hands on experience with some of the areas I had previously had little exposure to), I will leave the course with a lot more confidence and knowledge than when I came. With a little bit more self study I should be able to successfully complete the exams.
The instructor was excellent and made the course very enjoyable. He had vast amounts of real world experience which is always invaluable and was more than happy to elaborate on any questions raised.
The whole team at Firebrand were friendly and made the whole prospect of being away from home for 2 weeks much easier than I had anticipated. The food was also varied and of a very high quality.
Despite being very apprehensive about attending the course beforehand, I would not hesitate to recommend Firebrand as an effective training solution, and I hope to return to do additional courses in the future!"

Microsoft Exchange 2007 (7 Days) (14/4/2008 to 20/4/2008)
"This is not a course for people who struggle to pick up new ideas quickly, the pace is very fast and the exams really test your knowledge. Our trainer was outstanding and answered all the questions we could throw at him, and also gave us lots of valuable advice from his real-world experience. He also contribute to a fun and positive atmosphere amoung the group. Lessons last all day from around 8:30am to any time in the evening (our earliest finish was around 10:30), with occasional short breaks, making the course very intensive. However, I believe everyone in our group has learned a huge amount and I would recommend the course to any IT professional who learns quickly, isnt afraid of some hard work and can function on little sleep!"
