Microsoft Certifications bring valuable, measurable rewards to network professionals. According to the Microsoft Certified Professional Magazine Salary Survey those who possess an MCSE:Security credential can earn as much as $83,000 per year. Although there are no guarantees that increased certification will equal increased earnings, by combining your skills with personal ambition and goals, you could position yourself in the market as a valuable commodity to your organization.

Microsoft certified individuals are cut from a different cloth than their ITcounterparts. They not only thrive on the continuing challenges of the IT field, but they also have taken it upon themselves to develop and hone their skills—to stay a step ahead. The practical expertise that is gained through the certification process provides individuals with the kind of know-how that gets recognized both on the job and among peers.   In addition to polishing their skill set, certification provides many specific advantages including 1) Industry recognition knowledge and proficiency, 2) Logos and certificates to identify their Microsoft certified status, 3) Access to an exclusive MCP member Web site.

By earning the Microsoft credentials, individuals are demonstrating that they have the skills necessary to lead organizations in the successful design, implementation, and administration of the most advanced Windows operating system and Microsoft Windows Server System.

If you are seeking to improve your career status, and are ready to take the necessary steps to earn Microsoft certifications, then GlobalNet Training is the place to come to impact change and drive you towards your goals!

Course Facts

For the MCSE on Windows 2000 credential, the candidate should keep the following in mind:

• Networking: An MCSE on Windows 2000 has the option to take only Exams 70-292 and 70-296 instead of all four core network exams; however, an MCSE on Windows 2000 can elect to take all four core network exams.
• Client: An MCSE on Windows 2000 has already passed Exam 70-210 or 70-270, which also satisfies the client requirement for MCSE on Windows Server 2003; therefore, no action is required.
• Design: The design skills required of an MCSE on Windows Server 2003 do not differ significantly from those required of an MCSE on Windows 2000; therefore, no action is required.
• Elective: Elective exams are required so that candidates prove technical breadth, interoperability skills, or additional technical depth. For MCSEs on Windows 2000, the current MCSE credential satisfies the elective requirement for Windows Server 2003 because it proves the ability to support another version of the platform; therefore, no additional action is required.

Testimonials

I just wanted to send a quick note to let you know that I have completed my MCSE training with Will Panek and genuinely enjoyed the entire course. The facility, communication, and material have been top-notch, but I especially wanted to commend my instructor, Will, for being there every step of the way. He truly has a thorough understanding of the subject and has been the most sincere instructor I've had in my career by making himself available 24/7. I would highly recommend GlobalNet to my counterparts in the industry and look forward to returning in 2007 for some Cisco training. Thanks again to you, Will, and the rest of GlobalNet for making my experience a positive one and ultimately getting me certified.

Sincerely,

Gary Scanga, MCSE + Security
