A Firebrand Training

Day Course

Microsoft Vista Configuration 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 3 day accelerated Microsoft Windows Vista Configuration Firebrand Training provides information technology professionals with the knowledge and skills necessary to install, configure, support, and troubleshoot Microsoft Windows Vista. 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.

Course Objectives. Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:

  • Install and/or upgrade older Microsoft operating systems to Windows Vista
  • Configure applications and systems used within Windows Vista
  • Understand network connectivity
  • Understand mobile computing
  • Configure security settings
  • Troubleshoot post installation system settings

Our Window Vista Configuration 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 Configuration 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.

Vista Configuration Training Testimonials

"The CISSP Bootcamp, although an intense week, and an enjoyable education and useful training event. The venue and extremely helpful staff made it a comfortable experience. A big thank you to everyone very highly recommended."
Philip Richardson, Logicalis UK.
(ISC)2 CISSP Boot Camp (7 Days) (12/5/2008 to 18/5/2008)

"This was my second time at Firebrand Training as I came back to upgrade my MCSA to a MCSE. I did 6 weeks pre-reading beforehand which helped me stay on top of the workload. My instructor was excellent - always staying behind after class to answer any questions. He has a real good teaching technique, making the most complex concepts make sense. And whats more he is a real friendly down-to-earth chap, who deserves a pint! The accommodation and facilities are really comfortable and the environment is excellent for accelerated learning as there are no distractions. If I can get the boss to stump up for the CCNA course or Server 2008 Upgrade, I will return (but not before a few months to relax first)."
