Great. Microsoft sucks. I can do most things without any certificate. My job requires it.

Now see, I refrained from being horrible about it.
I work as an 'IT Repair Technician', full time, and I don't have a M$ cert. I will however, by the end of the month, have the A+, Network+, and A+ Remote support Technician certifications.

Huzzah.

Yeah, i just got a job as a IT Tech in a school, the certs are for my own progression really, i wanted a fast way to learn the details, certs was it, and it looks good on a CV for future employers.

I already have my A+ & N+, unfortunately with them i didnt learn anything i would class as overly useful. i was already pretty competent in repairing computer hardware and software and basic networking, and alot of the A+ & N+ i found to be OTT technical in how things actually work but not in a way that could be put to much use. Things like, I now know how memory addressing works, but the likelihood of me able having the facilities to repair a problem of this sort is zero, if it fails you buy a new component.

The things i have learnt on the Microsoft cert has been far more useful.

Interesting, I heard pretty much the opposite. As a techie, you pick up an awful lot about the way the operating systems work, know where to find tasty morsels, etc.

With networking, I have a limited knowedge, purely because I don't often work out subnets, or work out in which layer certain actions take place.

:P We'll see.

Anyway, yeah - congratulations on yet another cert.
