Course PreRequisites - Straight from the horses mouth?

Training is naturally a little bit more complicated than gambling and so needs to be taken seriously. And at the least, as seriously as knowing the health of the horse you are gambling on when gambling on a horse race.

So that there is no confusion about the pre-requisites for Microsoft courses that people may wish to attend. I offer a link to the site of Element K. One can use the information on this site to confirm their understanding of what they need to bring to the party in order for everyone to enjoy themselves when attending a course.

If you perceive something that conflicts with the information given by Element K, then you should worry because the latest Microsoft training material is designed around an educational strategy.

This is new to technology training from Microsoft and to be applauded, however, for this strategy change to work the educational offerings should be free of marketing and if the two get cross contaminated then we are in real trouble!

There are two main risks associated with such freedom of information.

The first is that it will scare the planners when they think of the time and cost involved in doing things correctly.

The second is that they will act on the fear and make the wrong decisions.

Be strong and enjoy the benefits of information sharing. This is what democracy is all about after all, isn't it?
