The Fast Track is a seamless, integrated, flexible training solution that combines the best of
fully mentored pre-course study, extensive hands-on labs and exam readiness
techniques provided by the most experience trainer in exam readiness in
Australia !
If choosing the full MCSE track as an example, the Fast Track is an intensive three weeks of study, with a
pre-course study period of 6 -8 weeks, during which you receive mentoring and
guidance in preparation for the course ahead.
During the actual Fast Track, you will go through hands-on
labs to ensure the practical knowledge required to pass each Microsoft exam. The
labs help build on existing practice experience, while the instructors walk
through the published certification criteria and exam preparation
techniques.
The end result of the Fast Track is Certification. Certification is the industry benchmark amongst IT professionals. Certification provides greater job prospects, higher income potential and globally recognised qualifications. Advanced Training GUARANTEES
this Certification when you follow the recommended study plan. We have over a 98% pass rate on the first exam sit, and an overall 100% pass rate.
You will receive all your study materials as well, including Microsoft approved Self Paced Manuals creating your entire Library, Digital Videos with hours of Microsoft Networking and Simulation, and a study guide to reinforce and review. As a certified testing centre, all exams are taken at our premises during your weeks of study
so that you walk out of the course certified with no further post course study
required !

Policy: If any participants fail to pass an exam, Advanced Training will pay for the next exam and allow them to re-sit that module of the course for FREE.

| Major Differences to Instructor Led Training
|
| Instructor Led Training |
Fast Track |
No prior assistance pre course Receives the manual on the day of training Training is conducted in accordance to
Microsoft's Official Curriculum, which is
designed for skill and knowledge transfer -
NOT CERTIFICATION. No exam information is given during course. No certification guarantee. Course duration is 33 days Students must then prepare for the exams in
their own time with no exams hints or tips.
This often results in several failed exams,
which adds to the cost and time of post course
study. Average time to prepare for the exam after
sitting on the course is four weeks per exam.
With nine exams that means that the student
may not be completely certified for 36 weeks. Companies cannot immediately benefit from
their engineer being certified. They cannot
charge higher rates immediately and may not
be eligible for Microsoft rebates until the
engineer is certified.

Full mentoring by the actual trainer who liaises with the attending student
on a weekly basis to prepare him/her for the course. Manuals are sent to the student immediately once the booking is
made in order to allow maximum pre-study time. A pre assessment test is sat to validate the readiness of the student. Once the course commences, the student is coached to pass the exams. All labs and materials supplied is geared towards certification. Exams are sat during the course. All exams are finished prior to
course completion. The student is away from work for only 15
days. This is normally the biggest factor as the cost of a replacement employee or the loss of potential revenue is significant.
Example:
Fast Track - 15 days x $1,000 per day = $15,000
ILT - 33 days x $1,000 per day = $33,000(SAVING
$18,000)
No post course study required. Students can then focus back on work, as they will be certified before they leave the course and companies can charge out at a higher rate if using a certified engineer.
Company will immediately benefit on any Microsoft rebates.

| Stages of the Fast Track |

Student Receives Self-Study Kit
Multiple media for faster
skills transfer
The multiple media self-study program is used to prepare for the classroom
labs. The amount of time in the classroom is reduced because all relevant
knowledge and concepts are learned from the kit before attending class.
Each learner is provided an individualized learning plan focused on specific
exam criteria not yet mastered. The self-study kit is also extremely useful
as reinforcement after the Fast Track is completed.
Mentoring Services
World-class support that
guides the learner to success
During the crucial weeks before the Fast Track Labs are conducted, Advanced
Training provides mentoring and guidance services to assist participants
in completing the prerequisite study for the labs. These sessions are
extended to after the Fast Track labs as well. Contact is made on a regular
basis: over the phone, through the Internet, and in person, if possible.
Advanced Training is committed to ensuring success.
Readiness Assessment
Benchmarks skills and guides
instruction
Before attending the Fast Track Labs, each participant takes the Readiness
Assessment. This assessment serves two purposes. First, it reinforces
the importance of the prerequisite assignments. If participants do not
complete these activities, their likelihood of success is greatly diminished.
The second use of the Readiness Assessment is for the Fast Track Lab instructor.
Trainers will be able to really understand the knowledge and skill level
of each class and adjust their instruction accordingly.
Fast Track Labs
Real-world, hands-on experience
with expert instructors
The labs emphasize exam preparation and practice exercises. Instructors
walk through the published certification criteria, with exam tips and
guidelines interspersed. Participants will receive hands-on experience
to practice skills that are often tested in the exams. Debriefings are
held after each certification exam to ensure the latest information is
shared with present and future Fast Track participants. It is important
to reinforce the fact that the labs will be successful only if the self-study
prerequisite assignments have been completed.
Certification
Proof of technical expertise
The end result of the Fast Track is certification, and Advanced Training
guarantees this outcome if participants follow the recommended study plan.
Because the study preparation and Fast Track activities are intensive,
we require participants to adhere to the study plan strictly in order
to qualify for the guarantee. Given this level of participant commitment,
Advanced Training is accountable for producing results and guaranteeing
certification.
Learn from the Experts
In the Fast Track Labs, expert instructors who know the certification
process completely teach learners. They, themselves, are certified and
they are familiar with the most recent versions of the certification exams.
It is their job to run the Fast Track and get learners certified. “Results
guaranteed.”
