BALLS.

I advise not to take this test unless your current employer reimburses you the money. DONT BELIEVE THE HYPE. This Industry is dying a slow death because all the paper certification given out, not to mention this is one of the hardest jobs to get. not worth it

[sonic2412]

@urdynamix1 Desktop Support Technician is one of the hardest jobs to get? What part of the world (and what industry) are you in? I haven't found that to be the case at all in the US.

[urdynamix1]

@sonic2412 If you have a job as a DST congrats, I've worked them too and don't advise anyone to attempt persuing this industry, the wages are no better than in McDonalds and for newbies, get ready to do lots of tedious temp work (If Any) Not worth it. IMHO

[jgq85]

Is the MCDST still based on Windows XP?

[HCImodular]

Syngresscertification can get you certified in very little time, check it out.

[ya13er]

Please tell me how much time it needs to take this certificate?

[nosense83]

mcdst normally takes 10 days as its 2 modules, 5 days per module. after you can do mcsa then mcse

[flowerose95]

2-3 months but no more than 6 months.

[0121ryanh117]

As much time as you want to put in, i started studying about two weeks ago, im gonna take the exams next week

[Distrax]

[TechB0id]

I got mine when I was 16, doesn't make me special.

Nice one though ;)

[rob2859]

i am studding for MCDST. I am at a Microsoft academy called zenos

[joshovkippax]

which academy coz i went to zenos :)

[rob2859]

Leeds. Tring to find some practice test programs to use but no luck so far. Too bad for us next year people are getting paid to go to Zenos like an apprenticeship

[ImOneCrazyFucker]

Yeah that's crap. We should have been paid as an apprenticeship, because that's technically what we're on at the moment. £100 a week?! That's near enough £2,000 for the entire course!

[joshovkippax]

i went to leeds i went from sep 08 - feb 09 we got EMA £30 a week do u get payed more now or sumet?

[rob2859]

i don't get EMA. £100 a week next intake inc travel expenses don't know about EMA

[ImOneCrazyFucker]

I'm at Zenos aswel, the Birmingham academy.

ty for this great video

[hahaaaaaaaaaaal]

thx for posting this it's really cool

[DJSHAHIR]

Is it easy to study from the book and sit the exam ? (without practical training)

[palaestratraining]

That truly depends on the type of learner you are. Some people can do that no problem, others need total hands on, others can learn from excellent video training (like ours!).

Some people need a combination of all of the above... so you know yourself better than anyone, and can probably answer that question yourself.

[flamingferrari]

good stuff. DAD!
