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 highlight your job role, featuring your specific area of expertise.
Our 7 day Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS) Web Applications accelerated course provides web developers with the knowledge and skills necessary to build interactive, data-driven web applications that use ASP.NET 2.0 for both intranet and internet uses.
This is an accelerated, residential, fully-immersed course, designed for IT professionals that require effective, real-world skill-building and timely certification. You will live, learn, and test on-site.
The MCTS Web program is a highly interactive 7-day developer class designed to teach Web Developers how to build intranet and Internet Web applications that use ASP.NET 2.0.
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.
