Hi people
Just wanted to tell someone that I've finally qualified for the MCSA 2003
I've been in India training and taking the exams, because it's way cheaper here than the UK, and it's also on the way back to Australia
I passed 70-270, 290 and 291 this month, and I already have A+ and Network+
Just waiting for Microsoft to make it official.
I'm taking 70-294, 298 and 284 in the next few weeks for my MCSE 2003.
Seriously looking forward to getting back to Sydney and having a Steak
===================================================
Update: Completed MCSE, MCSA + Messaging
I've finished 70-293, 70-294, 70-298 and 70-284.
Just waiting for Microsoft to confirm everything now...

Jeez, you're taking all 3 exams within the next few weeks? That seems a bit accelerated.
and these 3 in a months time?
HMMM
Don't forget 293
What resources do you use for study? Do you have lots of previous experience?

'i' before 'e' except after 'c'.... weird?
We are using the Microsoft Official Course material, and I've got quite a bit of experience.
I just spent the last two years in the UK working as a Support Team leader for a managed services company that ran Server 2000 and 2003. We had a few hundred servers in a big datacentre.
Before that I was a Network Admin in Australia, supporting NT4, 2000 and SQL for 6 years.
At the moment I'm training 8 hours a day, 6 days a week, plus revising in my spare time (all the time I'm not sleeping, eating or being sick from the dodgy food).
I'm not working at the moment, but If I had been it would have taken me months to prepare for each exam.
The compressed time scale is due to studying full time, and not working....
I feel I have the knowledge to pass client & 2000 exams with ease at the moment, the upgrade exams will be tricky and the security exams I don't know yet as I haven’t gone through the books yet. I am NOT braindumping but if employers will think this then all my hard work will go to waste. I want a better job, I am a good tech but am stuck in my job. I never got my MCSE when I should have and maybe my catch-up plans are too ambitious now?
Good luck with the MCSE panik
I don't think you'll have any issues, 99% of employers will ask if you a load technical questions to prove you've got the skills and knowledge. You have enough experience to prove you know your stuff.
Only about 1% will check with MS that you've actually got the certs.
Don't worry, go for the exams
And thanks. Good luck with your certs as well.
I am going to see if I can take some time off this year to bust out some certifications as well.
i was patting myself on the back for passing 3 of the exams in 3 months...
sounds like you deserve it, you must have worked extremelly hard and have a brain like the guys from the matrix!
