featured_spectre Posted July 19, 2011 Author Posted July 19, 2011 My bad, I did a quick search and must have missed it.
featured_spectre Posted July 19, 2011 Author Posted July 19, 2011 Mistakes happen bossman. I see no point in turning a useful thing into an argument. Lol I did look but my eyes aren't what they used to be. Haha
SW-ICT Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 What do you get after these are done? anything to say you have done them? I would love some more stuff to put on my CV
featured_spectre Posted July 20, 2011 Author Posted July 20, 2011 You can note on your course that you did some Microsoft Open Courses and state them.
featured_spectre Posted July 20, 2011 Author Posted July 20, 2011 Also, you can note what level you are on the MS Virtual Academy (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum) - I am currently Silver, about 20 points from gold
karldenton Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 Just signed up. Looks quite good. Can you print a certificate anywhere when you have completed ?
featured_spectre Posted July 20, 2011 Author Posted July 20, 2011 sadly no, but you have a profile available for public viewing

Looks quite good. Can you print a certificate anywhere when you have completed ? it's coming... : In the near future we will implement a recognition model that will enable you to share your training progress with your friends on Facebook etc. or print out a student diploma for each successfully finished track. Make sure to check in the future for more details.
firefox_2006 Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 Did you say "free..." and "Microsoft..." hmmm..... *nearly spits out tea* 1
somabc Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 OK pretend I'm an idiot (hard I know) is it worth learning about Azure?
featured_spectre Posted July 20, 2011 Author Posted July 20, 2011 It is worth learning the Azure SQL (ties in nicely with MSSQL)
Hightower Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 (edited) Did you say "free..." and "Microsoft..." hmmm..... *nearly spits out tea* Yep, because Microsoft have never given anything away free at all before........ Whoops, didn't mean to shoot you down like that! EDIT: And that list is missing some stuff such as Visual Studio (well I didn't see it when I scrolled through) which is absolutely awesome software, even the Express editions (free ) offer loads of power to the user.

jamesb Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 How is everyone doing so far? Not bad, but I found it a while ago. Just been working on the last track for a few days now and hoping to wrap it up today.
featured_spectre Posted July 21, 2011 Author Posted July 21, 2011 ahhh cool I managed to crack them all out in about a week, mind you being on gardening leave gives me plenty of time!
jamesb Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 Except that today they added the Exchange 365 Online track. Apparently I'm now number 1 in the country. I suppose I have to be good at something.
featured_spectre Posted July 21, 2011 Author Posted July 21, 2011 Thats odd, it says I am number one in the country! lmao
