In my workplace (I work in an ISP provider in Europe) we always encourage junior network engineers to follow a Cisco certification path, either through the Routing and Switching path or other important technology paths such as network security and VoIP. I have been in this industry for more than a decade and I firmly believe that in order to succeed in the networking professional career one must earn relevant professional certifications.

It is not always who you know, but what you know. That is why obtaining Microsoft certification can be a valuable asset to your career. Of course, it does depend on what career path you want to take as to whether you want to get either MCSE training or MCP training or anything else for that matter. So what do those abbreviations MCSE and MCP stand for anyway?

As you’re considering studying to get an MCSE, you’re probably in 1 of 2 situations. You might be ready to get into the IT environment, and your research tells you this commercial sector has a huge demand for qualified people. Or you possibly are someone with a certain amount of knowledge wanting to gain acknowledgement with the Microsoft qualification.

MCSE Certification – Still a Relevant Qualification

The MCSE certification indicates you can work at a high standard on all several Windows servers up to and including the 2003 server. Although there are more recent systems and qualifications available, it shows that you can design, implement and administrate Information systems on these servers and can really boost your CV.

MCSE stands for Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer, and the qualification has been around for several years now, meaning that most officials are aware of it. With the arrival of the new Microsoft MCITP qualifications many people believe that the MCSE is out of date, but this is not necessarily true.

If you’re reading this it’s possible that either you’re considering a career change into IT and an MCSE certificate appeals to you, or you’re someone with a certain amount of knowledge and you know that you need a qualification such as MCSE.

As you discover more about training providers, avoid those that cut costs by failing to use the latest level of Microsoft development. Ultimately, this will mean the student has to pay much more due to the fact that they’ve been learning from an old version of MCSE which will need updating very quickly. Don’t use training companies that are simply out to sell something. Advisors should be helping to make sure you are on the best program for your needs. Resist being forced into some generic product by some pushy sales person.
