 Posted: Thu Jun 24, 2004 12:53 am Post subject: MS - exam combinations... |
 |
|
I'm new to MS certifications, and it looks like my employer will pay
for some of the costs, so I'm researching...anyway, wanted to ask the
more experienced folks a couple of questions.
First, are there restrictions in combining exams for multiple
certifications. For example, say the track I wanted to follow for the
MCDBA included exams 70-228 (core), 70-229(core), 70-215(core), and
70-216(elect.). These four exams also fall under the MCSE track (228
and 229 are electives under MCSE, and 215 & 216 are core). So if I
pass the four exams for the MCDBA, does this mean I can also count all
four of these towards the MCSE (4 out of 7). Or does MS have
restrictions on what can be used for multiple certifications?
Secondly - what method would be best? Take classes? Or get the
books, and go on my own. I know different people learn differently,
etc. I have about 3 years of SQL Server experience (some admin &
design, but mostly development & SQL), and lots of experience with
general windows (not a lot of server or active directory experience,
mainly workstation). |

1. yes
2. depends on your learning aptitude. do you learn better via self study or
do you need to be handheld. if your company is floating the bill, take some
classes.

yup, everybody learns differently. so you answered your own question. how
have you been learning new technologies thus far. some people are ok with
self study others aren't. regardless you should be practicing this stuff
at home on a test lab network. get vmware or vpc and copies of teh 180
eval versions of whatever you plan on studying and play a bit following a
book. then if you determine that you need a class take one.
