I've just booked myself on to this course through work and wondering if anyone else had done this course? I'm doing it all over 13 days with Firebrand Training. Anyone else used them for anything? Experiences?

It's in Feb but I've started bricking it now :D
 
Ill be doing it next year (not a 2 week intense course), under my own steam.

If you have an MCSE in 2000 or 2003 you will be fine.
 
I toyed with the idea of using them, then I figured out, its actually cheaper to fly to the USA for 2 weeks and do the course there.... and you may even be able to squeeze in a holliday of sorts whilst your at it.
 
I'm doing this at the moment. In my own time, using the self paced learning books, tests, CBT nuggets and all that jazz. Coming up to the end of the second exam soon!

I persuaded work that it would be a good idea for me to have it... :D

It's actually 5 exams for the Enterprise version, which are:
Windows Server 2008 Active Directory, Configuring - Exam 70-640
Windows Server 2008 Network Infrastructure, Configuring - Exam 70-642
Windows Server 2008 Applications Infrastructure, Configuring - Exam 70-643
Windows 7, Configuring - Exam 70-680
Windows Server 2008, Enterprise Administrator - 70-647

I've got most of the books here, no way I'll get through them all by Feb though so it'll be a hell of a lot to learn in 13days on the bits I don't know, but if you don't pass first time they give you the training again for free.

This whole course is about £5500 for me which isn't too bad I thought seen as it is all done in such a short space. If you were to go with someone like QA (Which I did my ITIL V3) it would take me 40days in total!!
 
If your work is willing to spend £5.5k on training for MCTIP i would study to get it on my own steam and ask work to send me to washigton to do the MCM 2 week course. $14,000! Won't be too many people in the UK with that under their belt.
 
I might just finish this one and then take the single 70-297 exam required to get the MCM cert! :cool:

Pretty much now want the MCM but only as it has the words "master" in it haha :rolleyes:
 
Never liked the idea of cramming so much information in such a short space of time, but good luck anyway. For me information sticks better if I spread the learning process over a consistent period of time, rather than large and quick bursts.

I'm currently doing the MCITP:Server Admin course which consists of three exams. With all the textbooks and course material I doubt I could even get through it in 13 days. Then again I haven't done any MCSE's etc..
 
Nor have I! I know what you mean and I have the Sybex books, possibly the same as you, which are really good to go through and have a couple of VM's at home with 2008 on there which I am going to work through as well in the next couple of months so hopefully won't be as much "cramming" over the 13 days but still know it'll be pretty intense.
 
In that case if you prepare enough that should get you a head start, I'm applying a similar approach with toying with a few VM's and so forth. It also depends how much of the course material you've already covered by just working with the technology. For example I breezed past a couple of chapters on users and group management as I've done a lot of that at my current workplace.
 
You won't get MCM by passing the 70-297 otherwise all 2003 MCSE's would be MCM's already as it's one of the exams in the 2003 MCSE.

You need to go to Washington for a 2 week course to get MCM :(
