Did you find your employer was aware of the qualification or was it
something you felt you just wanted to do?

I did a couple of MCP exams some years ago and felt at the time it
helped me get my first job in IT. Despite MS qualifications and
experience still seeming to be the main skill to have, at least in terms
of having the maximum chance in getting a job, my heart as it were, is
in Linux. I just wonder, how many IT companies recognise this as
a good standard when looking for prospective employee's?

Nice one, good luck with the exam!
It seems there is one place in Maidstone at least that I could use to
sit the exams which would be handy for me, thanks James.
