Virtualization Certification: Two words that could change your career.

There has never been a better time to study for and pass the 70-659 exam because we here at Microsoft Canada are determined to get as many Canadian system admins, network admins, IT managers, IT job seekers, and whatever-else-you-want-to-call-yourself certified on Window Server virtualization as possible.

Why? Virtualization is the foundation for private cloud and dynamic IT infrastructure. Getting your team certified is how you ensure their skills are where they need to be. Getting yourself certified is how you prove your own skills. And now anyone can take the exam for free and get $75 for passing!

Here’s what you need to do:

  1. Contact D’Arcy at CTE Solutions ( sales@ctesolutions.com ) and get an exam voucher. This voucher allows you to take the 70-659 exam for free but only if you take the exam before May 31, 2012 (more details).
  2. Book your exam at with Prometric . Yes, book it now – then you’ll be motivated to buckle down and get studying! Here are some resources you can use:
  3. Write the 70-659 exam and get $75 for passing.
    • If you pass – Email me your Transcript ID and Access Code so I can verify your transcript using this tool along with your mailing address, and I’ll send you a $75 gift card (see legal stuff below). Yeah – it’s a pretty sweet deal – you pass your exam AND get a gift card!
    • If you don’t pass – don’t fret…if it was easy, everyone would do it. Many people don’t pass it the first time around but still go on to pass it on their next try. At this point you have the option to register for course #10215 at CTE Solutions (for a fee) and retake your exam using the same free voucher you got from CTE Solutions in step 1. Or you can go back to step 2 but pay to book your second exam. Either way, once you pass your exam, be sure to email me for your gift card!
