A company called SmartCertify has full programs on CD to self-study the Win2000 and A+ and write 7 Win2000 exams and 2 A+ exams.

Has anybody any comments about these course materials. The company also guarantees to that one will oass the exams.
Th ecourse material includes simulated exercises and tests after every topic.

Any responses before I buy into it would be appreciated.

I've used SmartCertify to help get my MCSE NT 4. It cost me over a $1000.00! I got the software to study, they emailed me questions almost everyday, and you can go to their website and chat with mentors who can help you with the material. To get your money back you have to fail a test twice and send proof and all that. Too much trouble if you ask me!
You can get so much free or very very cheap information and study materials to help you pass your exams on the Internet. For example go to www.cramsession.com you can have them send you practice questions everyday, they also have free study guides, and bullentin boards where you can post your problems with any material and get advice on any certification related issues.
I would not purchase again from SmartCertify. I studied and passed the A+, Network+, and i-Net+ certifications all from free stuff on the Internet.

Yeah,
The guy frim Answer 1 is completely right!!! You can get everything you need free from web and cheap from self-study books rather than using SmartCertify and so on. I don't know ANYBODY who used materials from such companies twice. I passed 5exams with self study books and own experience with no fails and I don't pretend to be the smartest one.

Good luck!!!

Hi, I too agree that you can can get most of what you need from the web. Beyond what has been said, www.mcsetutor.com will also send you questions (so will www.leapit.com), it offers bulletin boards, as does leapit, they have a "free stuff" section which offers free or deep discounts on eval. software for practice. Micorosft's training kits are pretty good and periodically they run rebates on them or check out prices at www.provantage.com. For more study material look at www.dwood.com Finally,test sites often run demos and freebies - look at testout and beachfront (I believe both are now offering some free tests.). Hope this helps.
