Hi Happy New Year to one and all, I am interested in completing either the MCSE or the CCNA courses, but can't decide which one is better. I could study the CCNA at my old University down the road from where I live, but they want £1800 for the 28 week course. The CCNA is very "hands on" and you learn alot more about networking principles, right from the basics to real techie nerdy stuff, which might suit me more. However, the MSCE teaches you about Active Directory, SQL Server and Polocies which (as an IT Technician in a school) is more relevant to my current post. I have seen on the DVDs on ebay for the complete MSCE course, and the MCSE appears to be very "self taught" which i might struggle with. Has anyone complete either of these courses? which would be best in the long run? Regards firefox_2006
