No.\nIf you can pass the tests, you can get certified.

Ok - I'm going to assume that you want to "prepare or study information that will allow you to pass the Microsoft Certified Engineer test."\n\nDude you got to find a training site on the web and study, study, study.  That's all there is to it.  Of course you'll have to spend some money.\n\nJust to do a google search:\n\nhttp://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&lr=&as_qdr=all&q=+%22msce+exam%22&btnG=Search

Unfortunately its not easy without experience. The IT industry is a fast pased market with a lot of competition. A lot of US corporations outsource IT work to overseas contractors. Nobody wants to hire a non-experienced software administrator. You must get you foot in the door at a much smaller scale. Do your research and find out whats the best 5 companies you would like to work for. Then find out what positions they have open. These can be positions in the mail room or a clerical positions. Just get your foot in the door.\n\nMotivational story:\nI studied criminal justice. Unsure of what area I want to succeed in I joined a small local security company. I was a security officer for 2 weeks. I learned how to patrol and conduct the duties of a security officer. A position became available in the main office for a security dispatcher. I applied for it at I got the job after only 2 weeks in the field. After 2 months the Operations Manager quit  and I was offered the position. I was in charge of interviewing, hiring, training. I was the field supervisors supervisor. I was very dedicated to the job. Always on time. Stayed extra when I had to. Learning so much and after six months I learned of a position as a Director of Security at a residential management company. I applied and was intervied. I was 21 years old and I was up against retired cops, Other Security Directors. I thought I was through. We were al given a task. "Bring me a proposal as to how you would run the security division of this site". It was a Friday and we had to turn in the proposal on Monday. I put alot of energy into that proposal. I went above and beyond the expectations. I would not have been able to do that with just the college experience. I went from $250 a week to $540 in 7 months. Im now at $67k a year. This is nothing compared to what I would be earning if I had a software engineer degree. \n\nYou have an awesome degree buddy. You should have been networking with people during you college years. You should have been meeting people. You should on online forums related to your field . Never brag about what you know or what you do. Let people know you need help securing an entry level position in a software development firm.\n\nGood Luck

MCSE or Microsoft Certfication Systems Engineer is a Certfication that is vendor oriented and specifically deals with the enterprise implementation of windows client and server and various networking topologis and configuration. To obtain one (you must retest with every revision of microsoft server product to keep it current) you must be familiar with how to setup a microsoft enviroment for day to day IT use and as well as recovery and failover for implementation of these products. Now there really is not a deffinitive way to say how to earn one because that will vary on person to person. But the best way is to get a book and start practicing and learning the operating system and tools associated with the system. Exchange, ISA and other microsoft enterprise tools are needed to earn the cert. Your best bet for resources would be to actually learn these products then study the study guids. For book i recommend the master windows 200X series by Mark Mansi, for exchange i really dont know best way to learn that is to play with it and actually get it up and running, ISA the same thing. You can order or obtain a microsoft trial kit for your lab, or you can get the empower program or another program microsoft offers to registerd to partners its like the partner pack (200$ yearly). THat will allow you to play with all the microsoft goodies and not spend as much. But if you are familiar enough with MS technologies then buy a CRAM series book and just start studying. Remember you must do it the MS way when you take the exam, even if it feels like it would not be the best way. \n\n- Mike Roth\n\nGood Luck!

Post your resume on Monster.com and update it everyday.  Just having a certification doesn't mean that you will get hired as a CCNA.  Most places want experience.  Good luck.

I am Comtia A+ Certified, and my advice would be to save your money. Instead, go to a book store and buy the A+ Certification Exam Guide Book by Micheal Myers.\n\nIt has everything you will need to know in order to pass the CompTia A+ exam.\n\nThe software exam I would suggest studying that one extra, it is harder than the hardware section of the exam.\n\nAn example of a software question on the exam would be...\n\nSendra wants to get a quick snapshot of her System Resources o a Windows XP Home machine. How does she get to the appropriate tool?\n\nA. Start | Run | Perfmon\nB. Start | Control Panel | Administrative Tools | Performance\nC. Start | All Programs | Accessories | System Resources\nD. Press CTRL-ALT-DEL once and click the Performance tab.\n\nSoftware questions like this will go back to DOS commands and every version of Windows ie 3.1, 95, NT, etc.\n\nGood luck.

Many technical colleges like DeVry, can give training and a degree in database solutions, and many companies will hire without the actual certification.  However, you usually have to pass a vendor test to obtain the certification.

TechSkills is great considering your limited time and crazy schedule. But as far as the IT certification, I can find out for you.

Try getting some certifications, like A+, Network+, MCP.  Let your possible employer now that you still have the skills you need by showing them the certifications.

That's going to be difficult. You really should start looking into MS cert tracks, even if it's just an MCP, or look at the N+ offered by comptia. \n\nWithout the degree or any certs, you're going to have an up hill battle.\n\nYou could to contract work while you work on your certs or take a High level help desk position with a company and they may even pay for your certs.

Its important that you first decide what type of support you want to provide.  Getting both is not likely to help you unless you are working as the single IT resource for a small company.\n\nAre you interested in networking?  Are you interested in Desktop support?  Are you interested in Databases?  Are you interested in hardware?  \n\nFigure out what you want to do and there are lots of certifications that you can get.\n\nSeek employment with a temp agency and see if you can be exposed to junior level support in all of the above areas and then you can select your career path.\n\nMCSE, (Microsoft Cert) CCNA (Cisco Cert) OCP (Oracle Cert) all are several thousand to attend a course and certify in.  Or you can self study and take the tests only for $100 per test.  Each cert has different requirements that change frequently.

With no experience, don't spend your time on a degree just yet. Spend your time (and your money) on classes that prepare you to take the industry-standard certifications for your feild. Networking's a big topic. If you want to work with infrastructure (routers, switches, the way data gets from Point A to Point B) then study for Cisco. If you want to work with servers and systems (how the data is stored, and how it's used by the users) opt for Microsoft. If you want to work with the data itself (database design/administration, data mining, data warehousing) go for Oracle. Get the premier certifications--- for Microsoft, that's MCSE,  not MCP or MCSA.\n\nEmployers in the IT industry these days are very reluctant to hire a candidate that has no experience, but they'll be more likely to take a chance on you if Microsoft (or Oracle or Java or Sun or whoever) says you know how the product works, as opposed to a degree. Even though a degree takes longer to earn, employers just don't trust it as endorsement that you're qualified if you don't have experience to back it up.  If you already had experience, the degree would be the way to go as you'd earn a lot more money, but for an entry-level position for an inexperienced person, you will have a very, very hard time getting a job without being certified, no matter how many degrees you have.\n\nTuition reimbursement is a common benefit in IT in the US. You can take college courses that count towards your degree in anything you want, and your employer will pay you back a percentage of your tuition, provided you get good grades. So once you're working, take advantage of this benefit and finish your degree taking night classes.

Try the Nat-West, they did self cert.at one time, not too sure about now but well worth a try- best of luck.

If you're wanting to become an technician and deal with hardware, you may not need qualfications. I know several people who have become IT support members without. \n\nYou will need some prior knowledge though. You will need to be able to do more than changing a GFX card say. You will likely need knowlege of all aspects. \n\nYou can gain knowledge by browsing the internet. After all, the net is filled with computer garb.\n\nIf you can afford to do so, or are currently claiming unemployment benefit, you can ask companies near you for 'unpaid' experience. This is how I got into the games industry. Although I have a Master's degree in computing I struggled to find work. Working for free for a few weeks you can gain lots of knowledge, a bit of experience and a great reference from your employer. \n\nMost folks have training in IT now but no experience. I was in that category for sometime. You need to give yourself an edge. \n\nYou may think 'I'm not working for f**king free!!', but it may just lead to something. It happened to me and others I know.\n\nHope this helps and good luck. :-D

Visual Studio.Net and MSDN which includes all the help files and excelent informatin for learning .Net. Also I would suggest lots of hands on practice. Just jump in and code something and figure it out along the way. That is the best way to learn.
