  I assume the certifications are not Microsoft-issued certifications?
  Are you a rep? Or did you use them?

    I received this as an email ….. im not a rep…. thought it might be of value to someone…

  Does this come with microsoft office or do you have to purchase separately?

    Voucher is for a Microsoft Office online training course, not purchase of Microsoft program software

  Would like to know if this is Micro$oft certified, with it being based in the UK, will it be of less value to prospective employers (like the countless other online courses that can be done overseas)?

  I would assume you don't get ANY actual certifications from this, just the 'training material' which would be all freely available anyway. Any certification will require you to pay for tests which will probably be more than the meager 'training' fee.

  Correct me if I'm wrong… otherwise this is a big thumbs down.

  Just waiting for some more chat about this and anyone with past experience? Pretty interested but need more info, can't really wait for them to reply to an email if it were to take longer than a day right…

  EDIT: Ahh I see 45 hours remaining.

  The downloadable "certificate" is probably just a PDF statement that you did the course. May not cut any ice with employers, especially as the site has no way of knowing who is actually at the computer. So it looks sus to me too.

    There are a lot of employers out there who do not double check your certifications :S

    I worked in an office where it wasn't till a month after a guy had been hired to do a high paid technical job that they found out he'd never used the technology before in his life :S

  Doubt you can call yourself "Microsoft Certified" at the end of it.
  But I guess if you just want to know the MS product suite (and lotus notes) really well, this isn't too bad. At least you can put in your CV that you're a "Master" at them all! (assuming you would become one after going through all the online material)

    In my CV I put down that I'm a master debator, but I never get hired. Why is this?

  When I did a MS training course in the past (for desktop development), it did not cover everything you would need to go and sit the certification. (They gave us a list of topics to go away and research as they did not cover it.)

  Are MS Office courses ever enough to go and sit the certification or do they also have holes in the training?

  you gotta laugh at the 'learn Vista new features' screendump when you click through to this page http://bit.ly/s47Vlu

    That certainly gave me a laugh. If your dream job can be acquired by gaining some basic computer literacy which these days is assumed knowledge when applying for pretty much any office job, then you are aiming pretty low.

    Yuck, I will NEVER upgrade to Vista. XP forever.

  Given there is no real exams and certification there's no way this is valued at 945. search the web for tutorials or borrow office for dummies.
