Benefits of MCSE Boot Camp (Win 2003)  Certification Training

Individuals:

• Overwhelmingly, individuals with Microsoft certifications have an advanced level of knowledge, expertise and skill, and command more professional credibility.
• The MCSE is seen as a particularly elite indication of an engineer’s prowess and skill level, and these professionals are highly sought by employers.
• According to Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP) Magazine's salary survey, the average base salary for MCSEs certified on Windows NT 4.0 is $62,700. MCSEs certified on Windows 2000 earned $67,100 on average - a $4,400 difference. The obvious reason for the gap is that there are fewer Win2K MCSEs out there, so those holding that skill set are in higher demand and, therefore, better compensated.
• Individual students may receive college credits to utilize tuition reimbursement programs for their IT training or to complete college coursework.

Companies:

• Reduce the costs of maintaining your workstations and personal computers, and increase the reliability of your network with Microsoft Windows® 2000 Active Directory™—and with the information technology (IT) professionals to back it up.
• Make a roll out of Windows 2000 Server smooth and successful.
• IDC asked more than 500 Microsoft Certified Partners and Value–Added Provider Partners what was the greatest benefit from a business perspective of having MCSEs trained on Windows 2003. Eighty percent responded with shorter time to deploy Windows 2003, lower implementation risk, or an increased sales hit rate.
• Customers see great value in certification - they want the people on their engagement to have the best skills, and certification provides that proof point.
