Daveyboy

RANJ

the wages for desktop support are not a sgood as they used to be tho

SapphyMike

Warren

RANJ

Warren

Good call

SapphyMike

cfoster

Deffo sleepy course! Always used to nap in the afternoon!! Am Microsoft qualified now but as Ranj said, the money isnt really in it for desktop support anymore. Electronic Trading support all the way mate.

i have it

was a piece of piss

adamS2RST

How worth while are they then?

SapphyMike

i never paid, and i get a free exam too... so it'll do for me

Daveyboy

if its free then its worth doing imo

cfoster

yeah if its free you may as well do it.... I didn't pay either!!!! And got free lunch vouchers for the time i was on the course!!! (or beer tokens!)

If you have got to pay the full whack i wouldn't bother. Do a more specialist course depending on what you want to do.....

SapphyMike

i am only doing it so that it might help me get a job, either way, it's only until my business takes off properly

CraigN

worth while id say not

not if you do desktop support allready

the exam is about how you interact with users mainly common sense and if you have been doing the job allready its like teaching you to suck eggs.

id do the Supporting and Implementing windows XP course much more technical informative and do the exam and you gain a MCP and one exam towards an MCSE
