Free Microsoft Offical Exam Coaching Sessions

RT: Julie Lary on Born to Learn:

 

 If you’ve earned a Microsoft Certification, you may have initially prepared by reviewing an exam preparation guide. These guides provide an overview of the focus of an exam, what certification(s) it counts towards, and candidates’ level of expertise, along with the skills measured and suggested preparation materials.

 

 To help IT professionals and developers further prepare to take an exam, we’ve recently introduced exam coaching sessions. Taught by Microsoft Certified Trainers (MCT), these sessions elaborate on what you can expect on an exam along with tips for how to prepare.

 

Browse exam coaching sessions for:

·     Exchanger Server

·     SharePoint Server

·     SQL Server

·     .NET Framework

·     Windows Server

·     Windows Client

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------------

 

If you are looking for training and some guidance on gaining your certification we do offer a free consultation with a Microsoft Cerified Trainer to identify your training and certifiation track and even a free training session to try out our training on the subject of your choice.
