Thanks for the info. I think MCSE is not available anymore. Anyway I don't know of any place in Pretoria where I can go do the exams. I know it's a lot of reading but I'm ok with that.@OP
You can get the guides off the internet, Self study and just pay for the exam it's not that difficult but it's alot of reading especially if you still want to go for MCSA / MCSE.
Also you should consider looking at AWS, it's really a hot field at the moment.
Hope this helped.
I used Pearson Vue exam centres ( although this was a while back)
I see they are still offering it, dont know about the procedure nowadays but you should
come right via their site.
CompTIA :: Pearson VUE
CompTIA’s vendor neutral certifications are the starting point for a career in IT. They show employers you have the skills to do the job, regardless of the vendor hardware or software. Many of these exams are also prerequisites or electives for more advanced vendor certifications.home.pearsonvue.com
They also offer MS certs.
Microsoft :: Pearson VUE
A Microsoft Certification validates your expertise in a Microsoft technology. Passing your first Microsoft Certification exam automatically makes you a member of the Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP) community, with access to all of the benefits provided through the Microsoft Certification...home.pearsonvue.com
Technically you can self teach yourself if you need access to material I can help and then as Gpeg mentioned use Pearsonvue to write the tests, Comptia I think you write with them direct.Hi there

Thanks for the info. I'm kinda just doing my A+ N+ cause to my understanding you need it for the Microsoft stuff. I'm a bit out of the loop how everything has changed. I see MCSE is no longer in existence so don't know where to start. I know not a lot of information as there is many direction to go. I found this place that I can do a course in but don't know if they good or not. I was thinking of going to the place and find out what qualifications I need to do even if I don't use them.when i was doing my A+ and N+ it was a fair bit more than just reading ie there was a practical part to it like for example in the A+ assembling and disassembling PCs and troubleshooting etc - i know someone who did an A+ in the self study method around 25 years back and one day after he apparently finished his course he phoned me and said that he was having a problem making his brand new PC parts work - so i pitched up to his place and i found out that this neanderthal had no clue whatsoever - he had his hard drive IDE cables stuck in some random parallel port on the mobo and he did not find it strange that the connector was way longer than the pin count on the mobo and some pins were empty the way he had it connected 🤷♂️ - and this was just one mistake of around 25+ mistakes that he made in the assembly and i found it easier to just unplug EVERYTHING and just restart the assembly process cos i was a newbie myself then - but i made his PC work perfectly
while the above is an extreme example it really happened so i would suggest doing the course somewhere if you want the full benefit of it - reading is all fine but there is so much in those books that you wont actually use - and the lecturers do guide you through the important parts that will help you in the future as well as for your exams and you can just read up the unimportant bits for your own interest at a later stage after you complete the exams
They are actually not far from our company so will have a look. ThanksYou can study via Boston City Campus and do your exams there. I used to work at a Boston branch. If you need some info, drop me a PM.
Don't mean to derail you from the A+/N+ routes but you should seriously consider cloud courses. Happy to elaborate on the reasons if you need some guidance.
