    Hi All My boss has just offered me a £2500 to spend on a course to get an MCAD. I currently have an MCP in VB.NET (version 1 of the framework) and work as a programmer (in VBA and some VB6) and our department is going to go down the C#.NET route. I like the learning from home style learning and would benefit from starting from scratch with C# as my knowledge at the moment is limited. Anyone been on a good course with a company? Is MCAD the right way to go or should I look into the MCPD. Many Thanks

      The qualifications from MS aren't worth that much really. They are too easy to pass. Potential employers are more interested in experience. I passed the two MCTS exams just be reading the self paced learning book which cost £30 each, so if you have to do the qualifications just do that and keep the remaining £2440 for yourself :laugh: Developmentor[^] run some great courses. Particular their 'guerrilla' courses. They are very intensive 5 days of 9am - 9pm working but I learnt a lot from the one I did - Think they are geared more towards people who know C# already, but they do off beginner courses too.
