Alright mate i know that liverpool community college are looking at doing it next year although this isn't confirmed. They are also becoming a cisco academy this year coming. If not go with a company called alpha training.

i think u'll be lucky to find a college who do MCSE mate. u normally get private training centres that deliver courses like that. We've got a few in Hull, one of which i've been to for an MCP course

Basically i want a job as a computer tech but the only qualifications i will have is an AGNVQ in IT, HND in Computer Studies and a Degree in Information Systems. I have to other crap such as GCSEs etc but IMO are a load of crap and worth nothing. I wanna do some extra work that will be of use and IMO this degree is a pile of poo and i will never use any of the crap in my life. I'm only doing it because i want a degree.

Do you know how much it will cost you to fund an MCSE yourself? About 6K if you do all the courses and pass all the exams first time. Also you need an understanding of desktop and network systems before you start.
Never mind the fact that Microsoft training is about an interesting as watching paint dry. Novell training in marginally better, hardware ones are the best fun.

Sounds harsh..but if you want to work in ICT, you have to start off at the bottom and work ur way up.
Experience is the thing you need..qualifications are just an added extra. A school i work very close with are looking for a network manager and i helped shortlist interviews by looking at the applicants C.V's quite a few people had MCSE, MCP, MSD etc etc qualifications but no experience...so those ones went in the bin

6k sounds fair if i was to take it over 3 years part time. My parents are for all this learning as they never got the chance themselves so they will help.
It's just the time and place my prob at the min

Heres all the info, you can't take it part time though, courses usually take about 5 days solid and then you need to pass the exam. There are 7 exams you need to pass.
Not being funny but you will find it very difficult if you don't have any previous experience in an IT role. Even Microsoft state one years experience as a pre-requisite. You'll be able to find a job as an IT graduate no problem on decent money, then work from there.

Its about 1 and a half grand each to do the mcse etc courses. So all very well doing it alongside uni if you can afford it.
