Hi,
I have a couple beginner questions about certification...
1. I noticed there are 2 testing centers for Microsoft; Sylvan Prometric &
VUE. Are there any differences in these 2 - advantages, pricing, quality,
etc,,?
2. To become certified in MS Office 97 or 2000, do you need to take only 1
exam, or 5 different ones (Access, Excel, Word, etc.?) to be called MOUS
certified?
3. What do you recommend for beginners trying to break into the technical
field : A+ certification first?
