Why get certified on Windows 7?

Windows 7 is just the next in the long line of popular and user friendly operating system by Microsoft. Intended as in incremental upgrade, Windows 7 is more about creating a more stable version of Vista and improving it's performance than adding in new features. In the world of IT, keeping your credentials and knowledge base current is critical. A Windows 7 certification from NCSA demonstrates to employers that you have acquired a level of knowledge equivalent to six months experience with the software.

What do I need to study?

The best way to 'study' for an exam is to be experienced with the subject material... in this case Windows 7. The knowledge gained through real world experience of installing, using, and maintaining the operating system can't be matched by simply reading a text or tutorial. When evaluating training for Windows 7 you should focus on those courses which demonstrate and encourage methods or provide exercises you can use on your practice machine.
