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.

"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. (23/8/2010 (Monday) to 31/8/2010 (Tuesday))

"Put in as much preparation as you can before you arrive as there is no time wasted once you arrive! Our tutor did an excellent job of ensuring the long hours and intense effort put in was rewarded. Make sure you are confident you cover the course prerequisites - there is no time to cover any gaps outside of the curriculum."
Juston Buchanan, PrimS Limited. (15/2/2010 (Monday) to 23/2/2010 (Tuesday))

"The course was very well planned but extremely intensive but no matter what your experience and current role, I am sure you will gain some valuable knowledge."
Philip Hoy, developer. (17/8/2009 (Monday) to 25/8/2009 (Tuesday))

"This is the second course I have taken with Firebrand and while the facilities of the training centre this year are of a lower standard than those last year, thankfully the teaching standards have maintained the same high level. Also as previously, the Firebrand staff are helpful and courteous -provided you are prepared to put the hard work in, they provide all the necessary help to learn and understand the course material!"
David Lowe, genes reunited. (4/5/2009 (Monday) to 12/5/2009 (Tuesday))

"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. "
Andrew Morrell, www.tsprojects.co.uk (I am a contractor). (23/3/2009 (Monday) to 31/3/2009 (Tuesday))
