There I was, no formal IT qualifications and no chance of getting the company to fund any. Catch 22, can't leave without quals. Can't stay cos I'm not valued.<br>
<br>
I went to the bookshop and bought the MCSE NT Server book (I used the Dummies series but any of them will do). Costs under £30 in the UK and is around $30 in the US. I won't kid you, there is a lot of reading and therefore a lot of work. Even without access to an NT server it is possible to get to a level where you can pass the exam.<br>
<br>
Even with full time employment getting in the way, I took my MCP exam after 6 weeks getting a score of 900/1000 with a pass mark of about 750. The exam is £75 UK or $75 US.<br>
<br>
Six exams and six books means MCSE. I'm four down and working on the fifth one. It is less than £100 per exam and means I don't miss a day at the office.
