Does anyone know of a good IT training company that runs classroom based MCSE courses in or near Glasgow. It's time to get certified but I'm not disciplined enough for self study.

Cheers
Phil

Im doing an mcse course and to be fair I don’t think its as good as I thought.

Im in a course with 9 other pupils. It cost £995. Im finding it very rushed and I don’t like working on Virtual PC's id much prefer a practical server to mess about on.

Next course im going to do will be self study for a week on my own.. Books only cost a couple of quid.

Also my college told me that the Microsoft books for my £1000 course wont be enough to pass the exams!!!

Ohh well. Im struggling on passing my Network infrastructure at the moment. The hardest one of the 5 I have to do.

QA (www.qa.com) have a training centre in Glasgow. I've been on several of their courses and they are very good, but I will admit to having previously worked for them (not as a trainer though).

I didn't realise they were still running. I used to work for Informatics CTEC as a desktop apps trainer and we lost a few good technical trainers to QA because of their excellent reputation. I'll check out qa.com. Cheers.

Well, the FD has come across with the cash, and I've bought a skills licence from QA that gives me 40 days training over the next 12 months, for a bargain price. Should be MCSE certified by Christmas. Yippee!
