Student support is absolutely essential - find a program that provides 24x7 direct access, as anything less will frustrate you and could put a damper on the speed you move through things. Avoid those companies that use call-centres 'out-of-hours' - where you'll get called back during typical office hours. This is no use if you're stuck and could do with an answer during your scheduled study period.

If you look properly, you'll find the top providers which give students direct-access support 24x7 - even in the middle of the night. You can't afford to accept less than this. Direct-access round-the-clock support is the only way to go for computer-based study. Maybe late-evening study is not your thing; often though, we're out at work while the support is live.

Corporate communications internationally are led by Microsoft Networking and Server Operating Systems. The standard platform for at least eight or nine out of every ten networked offices is estimated to be Windows Server. This software has undergone several up-dates now, beginning with NT server, after that becoming 'Server 2000', 'Server 2003' & currently 'Server 2008'. A substantial amount of organisations still utilise 2003 as their operating platform, & don't intend to switch. There are businesses with 'NT' or '2000' installations, & they are the ones that have the most need to update to '2008'. If you look at our 'MCSA' & MCSE pages, you'll learn much more about Networks, Servers & the question of Server 2003 verses '2008'.

Over time, it has to be said, 'Microsoft' have designed increasingly skilled professional accreditations - which means that several other players in the market have been required to enhance their programs. As such, advanced Microsoft accreditations stand in extremely high-regard by both I.T. leaders & global industry.
