Microsoft certified individuals are cut from a different cloth than their IT counterparts. 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! 

Windows 2003 9-Certification/15-day MCSE Boot Camp Overview:

Become a Microsoft certified MCP, MCSA, MCSE, MCSA: Security, MCSE: Security, MCTS: Vista Configuration, MCTS: Active Directory Configuration, MCTS: Network Infrastructure Configuration, and MCTS: Application Platform Configuration.  Students will be exposed to Windows 2003, Windows 2008, and much more.

What is the relationship between MCSE and MCTS?

There is no MCSA or MCSE on Windows Server 2008, but your MCSAs and MCSEs are not retiring or expiring; however, if you plan to upgrade to Windows Server 2008, Microsoft has made it easy for IT professionals who hold a current MCSE on Windows Server 2003 to make this transition to a MCTS on Windows Server 2008 by creating a specific exam for MCSEs looking to upgrade. We include this exam at the conclusion of our course.
