MCP Certification Course:
The Microsoft Certified Pr

ofessional (MCP) certification course is the stepping stone to Microsoft credibility and counts as the first part of an MCSA or MCSE qualification. This course provides individuals who are new to Microsoft Windows® with the knowledge necessary to understand and identify the tasks involved in supporting Windows networks. This is an introduction designed to provide an overview of networking concepts and how they are implemented in Windows.
Secondly, the course provides students with the knowledge and skills necessary to install and configure Microsoft Windows Professional on stand-alone and client computers that are part of a workgroup or domain. In addition, this course provides the skills and knowledge necessary to install and configure Windows Server to create files, print, and access the web and terminal servers. The MCP track offers either (or preferably both) a Desktop and a Server qualification, typically Windows Professional and Windows Server.
At the end of this course you will be able to:-
- Install and configure Microsoft Windows Professional and Server
- Perform maintenance and troubleshooting tasks.
- Install basic Active Directory System
- Perform basic Network Administration tasks
Exam Details:
Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP) candidates are required to pass one current Microsoft certification exam. Windows Professional or Server exams prove to be the most popular.
MCSA Certification Course:
The Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator (MCSA) credential proves that you have the skills to successfully implement, manage, and troubleshoot the ongoing needs of Microsoft Windows®–based operating environments.
The Desktop and Server products form only part of the Windows system. An MCSA has to be able to fully manage and administer the network environment. Microsoft introduced this qualification in recognition of the fact that the MCSE programme was too advanced for what most operators required in industry as it covers the designing of the network infrastructure.
There are 2 tracks that an MCSA can take that we offer. Both require study of Windows Professional and Server and the networking infrastructure but the difference is whether you study the CompTIA elective or another Microsoft elective. For those with longer term ambitions the MCSA is well on the way to becoming an MCSE.

- Install and configure Microsoft Windows Professional and Server
- Perform maintenance and troubleshooting tasks.
