Exchange Supplemental Questions & Exchange Combo Pack Now Available

Exchange Server has become one of the most popular products Microsoft has ever developed.  With e-mail now designated a “mission-critical” application for most organizations, Exchange is today’s equivalent of telephone switchboards and postal systems of the past.

Our new Exchange 2000 Admin training is now available and covers everything you need to know for installing, configuring and managing an Exchange environment.  There are 3 CDs providing over 12 hours of instruction that map to exam 70-224.  For a limited time you can save $50 off the retail price by taking advantage of our $149 new release special.

Instructor Michael Shannon is a recognized expert on Exchange, having written MCSE Exchange Design Exam Prep, published by The Coriolis Group.  Michael doesn’t waste time and jumps right into the material, giving you a thorough view of each topic.  Take a look at the video on Installation of Exchange 2000 to see for yourself.

Supplemental Reinforcement Questions for our Exchange 2000 Admin training are also now available.  The questions are designed to quiz your knowledge and comprehension of the curriculum and provide a self-assessment of your training progress.

To give you even more on Exchange, we are now bundling our training videos on Exchange 5.5 with the new Exchange 2000 Admin to create an Exchange Combo Pack. At only $249, you get a complete training program to provide you with everything you need to know about Exchange Server. Save an additional $50 during our special 3-Day Sale and get the Exchange Combo for only $199!

MCSA: Messaging – New Certification Option

Coinciding with the availability of our new training for Exchange, Microsoft recently created the new specialist titles MCSE: Messaging and MCSA: Messaging.  Like the Security specialist designation, Messaging shows that you have focused your training on a particular technology.

By passing exam 70-224 on Exchange 2000 Administration, an existing MCSA will obtain the specialist title.  If you are working towards an MCSA, you can use 70-224 as your elective and get the Messaging title.  We’ve created an MCSA: Messaging Combo Pack using our training for exams 70-210, 70-215, 70-218 and 70-224.  The price for this new package will be $349, but during this month’s 3-Day Sale , you can get it for only $299.

Nuggets in the Classroom and Lab

With school back in session, we want to tell you about a great solution for using CBT Nuggets videos in a classroom and lab environment.  All CBT Nuggets titles come with a single-user viewer license, which is great for self-study, but what if you need to train a group?  We have Additional Viewer Licenses that allow for multiple concurrent users to access and view our training material.

Priced at $199, an Additional Viewer License is valid for any CBT Nuggets title and never expires.  Is this a good deal?  Let’s assume you need to train 10 people on CCNA.  You can buy one copy of CCNA for each person at $299 per student or buy just one copy of the CCNA training for $299 and buy nine Additional Viewer Licenses at $199 each and show the videos to the whole class at once.

That’s a $900 savings!  The real savings come when you want to train another class on Citrix, for example.  You only need to buy one copy of the Citrix CCA training at $199 and your nine Additional Viewer Licenses automatically cover that title as well.  Need to train on Linux the week after that?  Just buy one copy and you’re covered for a class of ten.

For a study lab, you can do the same thing.  You only need one copy of each title you want to have in the lab and enough Additional Viewer Licenses to cover the number of seats in the lab.  This allows you to have multiple, concurrent users all accessing the training material.

Our Nugget Archive Server comes standard with a 10 concurrent user license and every video we sell, making it ideal for a classroom or lab situation.  Additional Viewer Licenses can be added at any time, creating a custom solution for your organization.  Currently, we are offering the Nugget Archive Server for only $4999, including all videos released through December 31, 2003 .

Coming Soon

We have released a lot of new training over the past few months and more is on the way.  The videos for VB.NET – Developing XML Web Services are in the final stages of production and, when finished, will provide us with an MCAD track for programmers.  With our Intros to VB.NET and XML, VB.NET Web Apps and Web Services and our SQL Fundamentals and SQL Implementation and Design titles, a full Microsoft Certified Associate Developer certification can be attained.

The training for exam 70-296 is also nearing completion.  By passing this exam and 70-292, your MCSE 2000 will be upgraded to an MCSE 2003, making this training a “must-have” for most IT professionals.  We will be offering the videos for 70-296 separately and as part of a combo pack with 70-292.  The price for the combo will be the same as the total of the new release prices for each package, so get a head start on upgrading your MCSE and purchase our MCSA 2003 Upgrade videos for exam 70-292 on our special 3-Day Sale for only $149 – a $50 savings.

A CD containing material for the new A+ exam objectives is currently in development.  The new videos will cover the exam objectives that are due to take effect on November 26, 2003 .  Our current A+ Certification Package is valid for now and will continue to be valid for the new exam when combined with this new CD.  More information about the A+ exam changes and our videos covering the new objectives will be announced next month.

As always, you can refer to our Videos in Development page for the most complete and up-to-date information on upcoming releases.
