Hi All,

 

I have just started a new position as a senior ICT Technician, Been working in IT for 2 year but would like to increase my knowledge in servers and AD's. What courses would you guys recommend as a starter my knowledge is basic so dont want to jump in to the deep end.

 

Many Thanks

What courses have you done so far?

none everytime i want to do something people tell me its not really needed and etc so it puts me off but i think i do need it along with some practical training. thinking of MCSA, CCNA or any other basic for starters.

Can you get any funding from your employer then? There's a good info graphic showing all the various ms routes (you mention AD), I would start looking at an entry level exam on a cert path that fits your wants and ask your employer if they would pay for exam, books, loan/give you some old spare practice kit if needed,cover travel cost to testing centre and give you a bit of encouragement and then get on with it :0

 

My colleagues used to say it's not worth it, now I'm their certified boss and they are all elbow deep in phone calls and emails on the help desk next door...
