From what ive heard the MCP difficulty depends on how many people they want to pass that month, a bit like your odds of getting caught speeding, so it depends on luck a bit.

but either way its a well respected qualification in the industry so thats what matters

no no no my misinformed nobber. There are plenty of MCP exams to do... well in excess of 2 when you have passed a certain amount, then you become an MCSA, then when you have passed them all, you become an MCSE. You dont sit an exam to become either an MCSA or an MCSE.

plank.

And this is besides the point. Cola posted to congratulate me on my acheievment. I never said i was an mcsa or an mcse, ive mearly taken a step towards it. Everyone alse was nice enough to congratulate me as well. So if you havent got anything nice to say, fuck off the thread.

How long does the MCSE course take to finish?

There is a lot of study to be done for the MCSE certification. There are 7 exams which you have to pass to become and MCSE. That is why Oxford House Computer Training offers this course over a period of 7-8 months. It may take you longer to study and pass the exams. But with us, usually it takes 7-8 months to scheudule all lectures for all 7 modules and complete the lectures on these modules. We give you a period of 1 year to schedule all your MCSES modules.

http://www.oxfordhouse.co.uk/neo_faq.asp

The whole reason this is such an acheivement is the fact that im probably the least techie/computer geek person you'll ever meet! And I had ZERO lectures to do it... you had 8 days of lectures... andin all that time, you still didnt learn what you needed to become either an MCSE or an MCSA. PRIZE plank


now, please leave

yes i did learn what was needed and that what i posted up on a previous post but your so stupid to read it correctly

i did 8 days of lectures to enable me to do my 2 exams for my MCP qualification

if i wanted to do my MCSA it was another 15-20 of lectures and another 8 exams modules to do to gain the MCSA and then on from there it is more lectures and exams to gain MSCE standards so as u can clearly see i DO KNOW what i'm taking about unlike the prize plank u r u don't (wanker)

and if u clearly read my post it's for wankers who wanna suck Bill Gates arse who take these fuking exams anyhow i was made to do mine by my boss i fuking hate owt todo with Microshite but hey u go ahead and do then all and you'll be up there with the Geeks of this world

First of all ‘Silky’, cheers for attempting to ruin this congratulatory post for my fella. I do like a good bicker on the board, but it is more fun if the other person has a clue what they’re talking about. So if you have a moment, please try and keep up whilst I talk you through a few things.

Again read the link above Cherub.

Sweetheart, as pointed out on this post he is not a techie. He had to do it for work as well. You are not the only one in this big wide world who got sent for work.

yes i did learn what was needed and that what i posted up on a previous post but your so stupid to read it correctly

i did 8 days of lectures to enable me to do my 2 exams for my MCP qualification

if i wanted to do my MCSA it was another 15-20 of lectures and another 8 exams modules to do to gain the MCSA
Ha Ha Ha. Seriously if I was so wrong so repeatedly I would have disappeared off line by now, but just in case you have no shame at all and are still reading:

1: You seem to be too stupid to grasp that you are wrong.
2: Darlin, if you did two exams and passed two exams that would mean you have two MCPs, not one. That’s one per exam. Do you follow?
3: Another eight exams? So that would be ten in total yeah? Wow, that’s even more than you need for an MCSE!

then on from there it is more lectures and exams to gain MSCE standards so as u can clearly see i DO KNOW what i'm taking about unlike the prize plank u r u don't (wanker)
Why would there be more? After taking ten exams to pass become an MCSA you could take over the world lol.

First of all I assume you mean passed and not pasted? Secondly, one of the two exams? My your way of qualifying is more mysterious as Microsoft’s own. Actually, just a thought, have you got your certificate to hand? Just think it might be an idea to check it’s real and not written on the back of a Rizla or summat, cos I think you’ve been done mate.

Anyway, now YOU bore ME. And it’s my post and I’ll argue back if I want to.

To quote Big Brother ‘At the end of the day’ did your mother teach you any manners at all? This was meant to be a nice post and I see no need for your bad manners. Do you enjoy belittling other people’s achievements? If so you’re a very sad man.

Are you short?

PS: A point well made Rich

Congrats DaveyBoy. Going for MCSE over the next 2 years myself.

What did you do to get MCP?

I have read on the Micro$oft site that you only need to pass the XP exam to get MCP when going for MCSE 2003

These are the ones I am going for:

Exam 70–290: Managing and Maintaining a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Environment

Exam 70–291: Implementing, Managing, and Maintaining a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Network Infrastructure

Exam 70-293: Planning and Maintaining a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Network Infrastructure

Exam 70-294: Planning, Implementing, and Maintaining a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Active Directory Infrastructure

Exam 70–270: Installing, Configuring, and Administering Microsoft Windows® XP Professional

Exam 70-298: Designing Security for a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Network

Exam 70-284: Implementing and Managing Microsoft Exchange Server 2003

silky you are not correct

this is the coursework for one MCP exam i did when i did my MCSE

You need to do quite a few of these to get an MCSE, some can be multiple choice but not all are easy.

this one i keep at work as i use the info in it all the time





Big up to daveyboy
