    I dont really know any places in South Dublin, would some place in the City be too far?

    You should also look into the new FAS scheme where you can qualify for 60% off MSCE/MCSA courses for small businesses.

    I just finished it (4 exams) after a year and a half of home study. Sick of studying now. Neither I nor my job wanted to fork out the money for proper training. I do know that New Horizons off Capel Street run courses during the day, in the evening, and on Saturday morning.

    I did study there before, nice setup but alas you ARE better off studing at home yourself, because well it's cheaper (unless you get the company to pay for it)

    I think I still have the book somewhere that I got with the course :)

    I've been doing the self-study route too. Work's paying for each exam that I pass, so if I fail one it comes out of my pocket. Haven't failed yet though :)

    1 more exam for MCSA (exchange, ugh), and 2 more for MCSE (already have 70-298 in the bag) :)

    Yeah I did it. Found it easy, but eh... I have a degree in computer networking so i had a bit of an advantage there! I'm dreading the 70-284 (Exchange 2003) exam.

    Which MCSA you doing Stephen?

    070-291 is a bit sticky alright, so is 070-350 ISA Server 2004, If you get a good grounding on 290 then 291 is that little bit easier.
