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
