What is modular training?
We have just started using a modular training model for are courses. New videos are on the one topic area. Some courses have overlapping material. For example a lot of courses go into material on DNS. Using a modular training model, videos that share the same material can be included in multiple courses. We believe that your time is valuable and do not want to waste it by you having to watch two videos that cover the same information. We also want to start training courses like Windows 8 as soon as possible, even before the exam objectives are released. By using modular training module we can provide videos on different operating systems as well, for example certificates in Windows 2008 and Windows 2012.

Can I get a study guide for the course?
Originally we were working on study guides to go with are courses but we have decide not to release these. We have instead created long descriptions for each video. If you are interested in a particular topic, find a video on the topic and the description has all the relevant information about that topic. This also includes commands and scripts used in that video. We believe this makes the information more accessible especially if you only want to know a particular command syntax.

Can I get exam questions for the course?We did originally have exam questions available on the site, but we had to many quality control problems with them. For this reason they have been removed and we do not create any new exam questions anymore.

Can I sent you an e-mail asking you question on the course or video?Sure. Please how provide some information about the problem you are having.

We have over 200 videos and can’t remember what is in all of them.

My exam and expired can I still sit it?If the exam is listed as expired go to www.prometric.com and see if you can still book it.
