Qs

 

Hi & welcome to CF

Hi forum

As an apprentice my company are gonna release me once a week to college to study for an NVQ lv 2 or 3 for one year, then the second year they said they will pay for my mcsa certification and training.

q1. what exactly is an mcsa?? is useful
q2. is the NVQ useful at all
q3.can you advise me on anything else i can study at home or from books

 

Gotta learn to use Google if you're gonna be a tech. Here's a link to Microsoft's MCSA page.

Is it useful? Before you've got 6 months of server administration experience in a domain environment, no, it's not useful. And that's not 6 months in IT... that's 6 months of server administration experience. After you've got that experience, then yes, it is useful.

As I'm in the US, I have no idea.

You can study anything you want at home or from books. I would recommend pursuing the A+, Network+, and MCDST.

EDIT: Beat me by seconds, Ken.

 

GO Ken!

*sniggers*

 

thanks ken and bostonmicheal.

I did an advanced GNVQ level 3 (not sure if it was an A level back then)years ago and it was very helpfull the NVQs sparked my desire to learn IT so I say yes that will also be usefull.
