I found out my company will be paying for me to become certified in Windows Server 2008. I would like to get my MCITP: Server Admin certification via e-learning. I hate bootcamps, classrooms, and study books, so e-learning would be ideal.
After researching the catalog here I found some online classes but I would like the opinion of anyone who has used the e-learning route: does it prepare you enough for the exams?
Also, I would like to double-check my findings regarding the exams and the e-learning courses I should take:
-Exam 70-640: Collection 6424 and 6425 -Exam 70-642: Collection 6420 and 6421
-Exam 70-646: Collection 7245
Would all of those e-learnings sufficiently prepare me for the 3 exams?
I decided to take the e-learning course collection 7245, which is meant for people who are certified in Windows 2003 who wish to upgrade to 2008, because I have worked with 2003 for a couple of years but just never had the time or $$$ to certify my skills. Is it wise to do that?
There is no guarantee any one training course will prepare you for any exam. This is why Microsoft posts "recommended proficiency" for every exam on their Microsoft Learning site. Michael D. Alligood,
