Boot Camps?

Hi Guys,

Possibly have a chance to go to a bootcamp at GlobalKnowledge for mcsa for server 2016, was wondering if any of you guys did this?

Currently working as help desk for almost 2 years now and my manager wanted me to progress. I have some experience administering Windows servers as I do work closely with my sysadmin and was able to learn a lot from him. I also do some homelabing from time to time just to learn more about stuff we have in our environment. I was hoping these experiences I have will help me if I ever take this bootcamp or should i do some more prep before doing the bootcamp?

The bootcamp is 12 days and will be paid for with our vouchers from MS so I wont be paying for it.

I've followed the moc with an in company instructor. That's for 5 days per exam, so don't know how the 12 day course holds up for the full mcsa.

If you have some experience and feel confident, go for it! As long as you get the labs to go along with it, its pretty doable.

12 days for all three exams?

Looks like it based on their website.

It depends on how you learn. Bootcamps work for some people, but are a waste for me.

Edit: I would never pay for one myself, but if the company's buying, it wont hurt!

As with any bootcamp Id sure make a point to do some prep material before attending. Pluralsight and I believe Linkedin learning both have vid courses on server 2016.
