@ nephilim As you said some people you know,went and did not get the qualifications.I will not dispute that fact but while I was there,I met the following who all made it two Omanis:one did ccna security the other MS asp.net two dutch guys:both did ms dynamics two americans:one was doin a whole lot of stuff;mcitp server admin,sql,etc and I know he passed all his exams some with flying colors like making 98% on an exam,the other was taking it slow cos he was a newbie doin sql but he passed an exam while i was there so from my experience, I have not met someone who went to koenig and failed.my former boss was there in 2007 for mcse,security +,exchange 2007 and she passed all.A fellow colleague is there right now and he is on a regular track cos he is not really experienced. I was on a super fast track cos of my experience and i am a fast learner but I would not advice someone to get on that unless you are absolutely sure you know the subject matter. i will say it again training at koenig is value for money,just log on to thier website,read the testimonials and see the awards they have gotten from the IT community and Microsoft.

Hi Keira, Did u post a link above?its not showing so i could read what you saw on the prometric website

I have attended MCITP Enterprise Admin on windows Server 2008 in Goa,India and I can say it was quite intense.I have had 5 years working experience using primarily Windows 2003 on our network but with no certifications it is quite hard to progress or get new jobs these days in my country. Almost all our new servers running MS OS's are on 2008 that's why I decided to do a certification on it and boost my CV. If you work on your own and you know your stuff I might say dont bother getting certified but if you work for someone and plan on climbing the ladder I would say go ahead and get certified but remember the key thing is to learn. I did not really have time to tour the country as I only went out twice during the two weeks and I only saw the beach on the last day after my exam! I enjoyed the experience so I plan on going back next year and probably spending a week or a few days after the training so I can explore. The training has proven valuable since I got back and i encourage guys to set up labs using virtual machines at home so they can practice. The institution I attended is called Koenig Solutions, they handle everything from visa assistance,pickups from the airport to accommodation issues.
