hi guys,

i want to do a mcse course or A+ but i think mcse is more known plus more jobs ask for mcse and cisco but cisco i dont want to do as im color blind and cant work with network cables so...

All the mcse courses i find are in london thats all well and good but i live in surrey south west london and itl be expensive and take 1 hour commute to go back and forth to london every day, any help on this matter is much appreciated
 
i dont spose you can list all the microsoft courses by order of the most easiest to the hardest because i really want to do it, im going to call up a college in london and discuss about the different courses they offer, this is the link to it

http://www.lsce.co.uk/

also i dont know about the A+ course as i feel ive done IT Essentials 1+2 and i think its basically the same, what do you guys think?
 
i called up microsoft today after work and i asked them what different microsoft courses there are and what ones the right choice for me, heres the list i made up what he said to me

MCSA - going towards MCSE
MCSE - the whole package
MCSDT - for begineers

i said what i do and he said first option id go for the MCSA and if you do well (which he said i will ) as i said about my previous computer experience and knowledge that top it up with the MCSE but he said both are highly recognised certs and any will get you a job so im asking shall i just do the MCSA as theres less exams?
 
MCSA, and MCSE are very widely around these days. You may want to look into a more of a niche market like open source Linux+ or something of the like.

I think it is good to have MS certs, but I wouldn't bet my career on it.
 
Just look at it this way. In the Microsoft world, sure there may be more jobs, but there is also so much more competition. In the Linux/Unix world there are not as many jobs per se, but there are a lot less people who know it.

Having the ability to do both and integrate the two is also a huge plus. Most MCSE people can't managed a Linux server to save their life. With the economy the way it is, and with markets shifting and looking at more open source, I suspect that Unix/Linux will start to gain a market share.

By all means learn the MS stuff because it is out there, but also take the time to learn something else.
