Performance Management: Get on a course!

[SHimmer45]

not strictly a lNM post i dont think but here goes..

 

be told i need to look into a course which i can put forward as part of my performance management, (i am a snr tech in the school i work in)

looking with interest at the Microsoft MTA Windows Server Administration Fundamentals 98-365, has anyone taken this course and be able to provide some feedback about it & if you used a training center to complete or just self study.

From looking at the course content it comes across as a useful bridge inbetween a comptia and some of the more heavyweight certs from MS like a MSCE/A

 

TIA

What's your background? Its a relatively low level course, that you may well not require depending on your experience.

 

knowing where to start is always tricky, but if you get it right you will potentially save some money and get the training you really need.

Something that teachers go on

i already do a decent amount of work with "Servers" AD admin Hyper-V etc but its all self taught and i havent got any relevant qualifications which matter on my CV.

looking at the course content of the MTA there are things on there which would be of interest as i dont have much exposure to them in day to day work.

 

for some of it you could argue that i dont need to be on it but the overall aim is to start building my CV as i am struggling to get interviews for jobs which require "relevant IT qualification" and a BTEC from 2002 isnt going to cut it anymore.

If you're looking at server tech roles, then most would ask for the following:

The entry level cert isn't really much use as soon as you jump in to the above.

 

So the question would be; Would you be comfortable starting with Exam 410 (an perhaps the course that links to it).

 

ITIL, Prince2 and CCNA are worth a look as well if you are looking to improve the CV.
