Certification Preparatory Classes
By earning a Microsoft Certification, you gain advanced, market-relevant skills that employers recognize and respect as well as opportunities to connect with a global community of other certified professionals. A study (“Impact of Training-Functional Excellence Leads to Operational Productivity (Dec 2008) and Impact of Training (2011)”) conducted by the global market intelligence firm IDC looked at the organizational performance of more than 2,000 IT Teams and 500 projects, examining the relationship of team performance to the percentage of the team certified on a variety of technologies. The IDC study stated, “Unequivocally, certification, as a measure of skill, showed a positive correlation to performance improvement.” In the areas of general service excellence and specific measures of task-level performance, certification made a measurable impact:
Sixty percent of managers surveyed believe the skill of the team contributed most to the success of technology function.
Seventy-five percent of managers believe that certification is important to team performance.
Sixty-six percent of managers believe that computer training certification improves the level of service and support offered to IT end users, prospects and customers.
Team performance increases every time a new team member is certified.
Concentration certification in a team is clearly linked to team capability and performance.
With a sufficient percentage of team members certified, IT operational performance can increase up to an average of 11 percent. The research suggests that about 25 percent of IT professionals hold some form of relevant certification.

The following list details the various Microsoft Certifications and describes how each enables certified IT professionals to display and validate their skills and experience:
Application Classes Microsoft Training. The premier Microsoft Certified Architect (MCA) program recognizes and provides advanced certification to practicing network architects in an enterprise setting and helps enable the highest-achieving professionals in Microsoft IT architecture distinguish their expertise from their peers. If you already have proven experience designing and delivering IT solutions for enterprise customers along with the technical and leadership skills that surpass those of your peers, consider earning the Microsoft MCA certification at PC Professor, an Authorized Microsoft training school. By doing so, you can validate your advanced proficiency and join an exclusive, world-class community of IT computer experts. Please note that other conditions and certifications may be prerequisite requirements prior to earning an MCA designation. See your PC Professor Admissions Representative for a planning “roadmap” to get started on this elite IT Microsoft certification track.
Application Classes Microsoft Training. Microsoft Certified Application Developer (MCAD) certification allows IT professionals to demonstrate their ability to use Microsoft technologies to develop and maintain department-level applications, components, Web or desktop clients, or back-end data services. Demonstrate your ability to build software applications using Microsoft Visual Studio .NET and web services on Microsoft’s .NET Framework. The MCAD certification not only helps candidates gain gain recognition as a trained software application developer, but also shows current and potential employers that you have the skills and expertise necessary to build the powerful software applications that they seek. Your PC Professor Admissions Representative can help you design the Microsoft curriculum to help you achieve your MCAD career objectives.
Application Classes Microsoft Training. The Microsoft Certified Database Administrator (Database Professional) certification enables IT professionals to assure others of their ability to design, implement, and administer Microsoft SQL Server databases. A Microsoft MCDBA would be the ideal candidate to design a database for a firm seeking to create a customized solution allowing them to do quick database sorting. For example, let’s say a doctor wanted to know all of his/her patients who lived in a specific zip code, or, the name of every patient that has had a certain disease within the last six months. Or, perhaps a large law firm wants custom software to do a conflict check before they accept a case. Both examples would probably want to retain the services of a certified database professional since demonstrable knowledge of how to create a complex database is a requirement for each project.
Application Classes Microsoft Training. A Microsoft Certified Desktop Support Technician (MCDST) certification helps IT professionals demonstrate their technical and customer service skills in troubleshooting hardware and software operation issues in Microsoft Windows environments. Similar in nature to PC Professor’s A+ Computer Repair Technician class, this preparatory class is popular among those who feel that there will remain a need for computer repairs, malware eradication, and custom user configurations for many years to come.
Application Classes Microsoft Training. The Microsoft Certified IT Professional certification, now known as MCSE, enables IT professionals to assure and demonstrate comprehensive skills in planning, deploying, supporting, maintaining, and optimizing a complex IT infrastructure. PC Professor’s hands-on MCSE Preparatory career class is one of our most popular technical sessions among students seeking in-demand career training. It incorporates working with computers with the need to set up networks, email configurations, establishing multi-user internet connections, establishing local area networks and more.

Technology changes quickly, that much is true, but one thing that hasn’t changed is the need to show what you, as an employment candidate, know to help you get a good job or to advance in your technical career. Certifications help demonstrate that students have learned the skills they need to succeed in today’s job market; and, when evaluating new candidates, employers recognize the value of a certification from a prominent career school. In fact, one reason that computer students have attended South Florida’s PC Professor since 1989 is to learn difficult material in a hands-on manner. Some students have taken our preparatory IT certification classes to upgrade their skills thereby advancing their IT careers, while others have enrolled to make themselves more marketable in a challenging economy. Still others have enrolled to help distinguish themselves from the rest of the employment pack. Whatever your class enrollment reasoning may be, allow us to show you why we are South Florida’s hands-on computer training leader and why our computer career school has become synonymous with “academic excellence”.
