I am 18 years old and I am an IT Technician at the place where I work now. I have always wanted to become a microsoft certified systems engineer but I was told it costs ?2,500. Why is it the only way to get the MCSE certificate is to either pay for it yourself or to be sponsored by the company you work for! What about the people who cannot afford this. Is it fair? I think that there should be funding for this. If anyone knows of anyway that I am able to do the MCSE award which will not cost me a fortune I would be very grateful if the could contact me by e mail! Thank you

Mathew.... I don't know if anyone ever told you, but you don't have to take any silly classes. You ONLY have to know the stuff. You can go to the book store and purchase a book for $ 50.00 US Dollars... Pay Microsoft $ 100.00 and take the test. That is only one test. You need to take several. I don't know how many today, but it was 6 tests total to be MCSE for Win NT v.4. So, as you can see $ 600.00 for the tests. If you borrow the books from a friend it can be even cheeper. Microsoft doesn't care how you get your knowledge, only that you know enough to pass thier test. Oh...btw, $ 600.00 is if you don't fail!
