Microsoft - MCTS .NET 3.5 Web and Data Applications - Benefits

Benefits of MCTS certification

An MCTS certification highlights your areas of expertise, so that your skills and knowledge stand out to hiring managers and project leads
By earning multiple MCTS certifications, you can demonstrate your breadth of knowledge of Visual Studio 2008. You can also build on your MCTS certifications to earn a Professional Series credential
MCTS certification grants you access to the Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP) community and benefits, including a personal profile on Microsoft.com and access to the Microsoft Knowledge Base

Benefits of IT certification

For IT managers, certification is particularly important because it allows them to more easily identify the skills that an individual possesses. When a company has employees that possess certain skills, it can garner a competitive advantage when seeking to attract customers. Certification can also contribute to increased productivity, because studies have shown that certified individuals are generally quicker to implement and design new technologies. And of course by knowing that their employees are certified, IT managers can feel more confident about their ability to implement and support a network infrastructure.

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.

Firebrand Training provides instruction to meet every learning need:

Intensive group instruction
One-on-one instruction attention
Hands-on labs
Lab partner and group exercises
Question and answer drills
Independent study

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.

"This has been my second "go" at this course, and so far I've exceeded my previous results. This has been down to my excellent tutor. "
A.D, Agresso UK.
Microsoft MCTS .NET 3.5 Web and Data Applications (9 Days) (23/8/2010 to 31/8/2010)

"If you want to feel tired, out of your depth and yet learn a lot and maybe pass an exam this is the course for you. If, like me, you want a strong chance to pass, don't come on the course until you have done some sample exams remotely and picked up the books that will be used on the course. Then make a decision as to whether you are ready. The sales staff do not understand the subjects and should not be relied upon to make a judgement about course attendance. "
