What training , books, courses, web sites, etc. do you recommend for a beginner to start training for MCSE? Should I get other types of certification before getting my MCSE? Where should I start? I'm very good with computers but have no formal training. Thanks !

Hi Steve,

Thinking about career certifications in the IT industry is most often the first step. MCSE sure is a good place to start, but I suggest you either start and complete the NT4 track before Dec 31. Alternatively you could look for the WIN2000 MCSE 'quick start' track and prepare for the WIN2K series. Have you a good knowledge of Networking Essentials?

Try the following site for brain dumps - www.1netweb.com/mcse; www.troytec.com/mcse

Keep me posted okay.

Cheers
Tade

It really depends on what you want to do. If you like PC's maybe A+ is the place to start. If you want to move into Server side MCSE is the way to go and do get your MCP before DEc 31 in Server and Workstation and Server in the Enterprise. If youhave the money Transcender tests are a great tool for people who can learn by testing. If you want to move into networking look at Cisco certifications.

If you want to get the MCSE certification, it would be helpful if you know the ground work of networking.

Microsoft's Networking Essentials is a good start. But the CompTia's Network+ is even better. It will give you a good idea about what the whole Networking world is about.
