Windows Server 2008 Network Infrastructure video training course – New

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.
