though, my door is always open. Feel free to contact me with further
questions or advice (either way). Study

For the 2014 track, we
offered a curriculum designed to provide
knowledge and experience in Windows Server
2012 in preparation for MCSA
Server 2012 certification.
Each course is directly mapped
to a certification exam as
described below. Students wishing to continue
their training may consider
pursuing the MCSE (Microsoft
Certified Solutions Expert)
certification, however, we did have plans to
offer those courses as part of
this program.
Prerequisites: Before attending
these courses, students should
have an understanding of
networking fundamentals and
basic Active Directory concepts,
and awareness and understanding
of security best practices,
basic knowledge of
server/computer hardware, and
experience configuring Windows
operating systems. |
