Last week, Train Signal - the global leader in video training - released their Microsoft Windows 2008 Network Infrastructure training course. This course covers the Microsoft MCTS / MCITP certification exam 70-642. Taught by Ed Liberman, this 14 hour video training course also includes the 70-642 Transcender exam simulator to ensure you are prepared for the exam. Besides certification coverage, the product uses real-world scenarios to ensure that you are prepared to be a Windows 2008 Network Admin in a enterprise.

I watched one of the videos and was impressed by Ed’s knowledge of networking and his clear speaking voice. I liked the way that he made Windows 2008 Networking easy to understand.

I hope you will checkout the demo of the Train Signal Windows 2008 Network Infrastructure video training course.

Train Signal makes some excellent video training products (covering Windows 2008, Cisco, and much more) but I want to take a second to talk about their sister site - Train Signal Training.com (called TST).

At Train Signal Training, they have a lot of experts who make daily blog posts covering all sorts of Windows, Microsoft office, and Cisco networking topics.  For example, there are tips on how to get a networking job, tips on how to do a address label merge in Word 2007, and many more.  What is most impressive is how their writers deliver these real-world and very useful tips.
