MCSE Courses

LearningLolly provides the ideal way to study for those looking for MCSE 2003 / 2008 courses. Our training uses one of the top systems in the world to develop your IT skills. Presented on a library of interactive discs, it creates the very latest cutting-edge training environment. It's fully supported by a 24x7 team of tutors who will help you whenever you need them. We believe this is the easiest and best supported way to do your MCSE course, and often costs thousands of pounds less than competitive colleges.

As you're looking to study for an MCSE, you'll probably fall into one of two camps:

You could be about to enter the world of IT, and your research tells you that the industry has a huge demand for qualified people.

Or you could be an IT professional looking to consolidate your skill set with the MCSE qualification.

Our training can facilitate both levels of student, but the two routes to achievement will be very different...

The new starter will need much more support and appropriate basic training first, so before starting we'll make absolutely sure you're on the right program for you. If not, we'll help you find a more appropriate one.

When researching training companies, look out for those who cut costs by not upgrading their courses to the latest level of Microsoft internal development. This isn't really a saving for the student - as they will have been studying an outdated MCSE course.

The main-stay of commercial MCSE certification is currently based on Server 2003, but Server 2008 has now been released - and by the time you're fully qualified, 2008 will be getting much more common.

We include an MCSE 2008 upgrade FREE with our MCSE 2003 program - so you get the benfits of both worlds.

MCSE Courses 2003 + 2008 : Disc-based Interactive materials

Here at LearningLolly, we're not one of those companies just trying to sell you something. We're happy for you to use our time, expertise and advice to make sure you're on the right course for you and not be shoehorned into a standard product by some pushy sales-person.

We'll provide you with a world-class interactive training environment, with video tutorial from some of the best tutors from around the globe.

You'll follow on screen demonstrations, then interact to consolidate your knowledge, repeating this process as many times as you like.

In the UK, the IT training industry has gained a reputation for poor response times in support. This is because support from most companies is largely restricted to office hours - with messaging systems in place most evenings and weekends, and turn-around times measured in days, not hours. This is NOT what students want... and it's not what they get with LearningLolly.

We supply genuine 24/7 support where you can contact tutors online any time of day or night to solve your challenge there and then. If you're studying alongside a job, as most students are, only this level of support is acceptable.

We're confident that however extensive your research into MCSE courses, you won't find a better training provider than LearningLolly. Click for our FREE info pack...

Frankly Speaking... thoughts for the day!

What Do I Do When I Get Stuck In My Studies?

Starting a new interactive training course is an exciting time. With lots of new, interesting subjects to get our teeth into, it's tempting to become a complete social outcast and immerse ourselves in our studies at every available opportunity. But apart from that being slightly weird, it's also not the best way to learn and retain information.

The first thing we need to establish is a sustainable study habit. This is a number of hours each week that we can commit to and stick to, and doesn't exclude every other area of our lives! It's better not to run before we can walk, and much easier to take in information in bite-sized pieces. Consistently learning a smaller amount well is more useful and maintainable than learning a larger amount not so well. But however savvy we are with our learning diary, there are inevitably going to be times when the brain just glazes over, and nothing will go in.

When this happens, it's important not to get demoralised. There can be all sorts of reasons why we've had a mental block, and there are lots of ways to overcome the stalemate. Taking a break, going outside into the garden and breathing deeply can all help. It's amazing how a nice cup of tea and a piece of cake can fire up the reserves again. It's not unusual to grapple with understanding the first time we look at something - anything new tests our mental agility, and sometimes we just have to accept that this is part of learning - it happens from time to time and it's uncomfortable, but with application we can push through until we get to the 'eureka' moment! Anything worth accomplishing takes a few failed attempts along the way - remember that awkward feeling when first behind the wheel of a car?

It often helps to leave something over-night and come back the next day with a fresh pair of eyes. Our sub-conscious mind has a habit of solving problems when we're not consciously aware it was working on them - and suddenly the answer pops into our head when we're least expecting it. Covering a section again, and then having a go at explaining it to someone else helps to clarify the point. Writing it down helps to organise thoughts - if we state our assumptions and the evidence for them, we can usually analyse out the problem areas. Researching on Google or technical forums for other explanations and descriptions can sometimes hit the spot - with so many different medias out there we can frequently stumble upon something that puts it all in context.

Finally, sophisticated learning systems offer excellent mentor support. There's nothing like an on-screen demonstration and one-to-one explanation to help the penny drop.
