Day Course

Microsoft Vista Desktop Support Training - Overview

Windows Vista is dubbed as Microsoft's most compelling operating system release in over a decade. Windows Vista offers substantial new capabilities in security, performance, reliability, and manageability. It is also the first operating system released with the .NET Framework 3.0 in mind, and the first client operating system to include the .NET Framework 3.0 as a part of its own installation.

Our 5 day accelerated Microsoft Desktop Support for Enterprise Firebrand Training provides information technology professionals with the knowledge and skills necessary to install, configure, support, and troubleshoot Microsoft Windows Vista. This course prepares you and will test you on the following Microsoft Exams:

  • 70-620 (MCTS) Microsoft Windows Vista, Configuring
  • 70-622 (MCITP): Microsoft Desktop Support: Enterprise

Upon completion of this course you will be able to:

  • Install or Upgrade the operating system to Windows Vista
  • Deploy Windows Vista in the Enterprise
  • Troubleshoot Applications on Windows Vista
  • Troubleshoot connectivity problems
  • Troubleshoot Installation issues

Our Vista Program:

  • Allows you to achieve your certifications in a fraction of the time of 'traditional training' while delivering industry-leading exam passing percentages
  • Helps students grasp complex technical concepts more easily by identifying and catering to individual student learning styles through a mixed visual, auditory and kinaesthetic-tactual delivery system
  • Enhances retention by employing accelerated learning techniques focused on committing information to long-term memory

Microsoft Vista Desktop Support Training - Benefits

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.

Individuals

  • Overwhelmingly, individuals with Microsoft certifications have an advanced level of knowledge, expertise and skill, and command more professional credibility

Human Resources

  • Employer-funded training and certification programs are a key to retaining skilled IT staff. Career development and advancement opportunities are shown to significantly reduce rates of employee turnover
  • Certification Training Programs provide benchmarks for hiring and promotion decisions by accurately assessing technical skills
  • For-certification training programs maximize educational investments through immediate validation of skills

Microsoft certification affords special membership benefits

  • Technical information, product information and exclusive discounts on products and services through a secured section of the Microsoft website
  • Microsoft logos and certificate for your personal promotion to clients or potential employers
  • Invitations to Microsoft conferences and other educational opportunities
  • Access to the secure Microsoft Certified Professional Magazine Online website

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, including

  • 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.

Microsoft Vista Desktop Support Training - Prerequisites

Students that are successful in the Microsoft Desktop Support for Enterprise Accelerated Certification Program are IT professionals, who work in an upper MORG or enterprise environment that uses Windows Vista; who have experience with previous versions of the Windows operating system; and who might have experience with Windows Server operating systems

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.

"Der Kurs ist sehr hart, sehr viel Wissen in sehr kurzer Zeit. 15-16 Stunden taeglich. Es ist sehr hilfreich breite Vorkenntnisse zu haben. Ein sehr grosser Vorteil ist, dass die Teacher Praxiserfahrung haben und wissen worueber sie reden. Vor allem das nicht alle Antworten richtig sind, sondern in der Praxis falsch. Im Gegensatz zu anderen Anbietern wo reine Theoretiker sitzen, ist dies ein sehr grosser Vorteil. Die kleine Kursgroesse traegt dazu bei, dass das Lernen sehr effizient ist."
Thomas Freyer, Atos Worldline Processing.

Although I did not pass my exams I feel that I have been given the right tools to fly through my re-sits! I would stongly reccommend Firebrand to EVERYONE!"
David Cooper, MAP Electrics.

"An excellent course, fully immersive from beginning to end and focused on training us into competent, intuitive devlopers of the technology rather than exam passing drones."
Ian McCubbin, Altis Partners.
