Tom’s IT Pro Contest Offers A Shot at Free WinServ08 and Cloud Essentials Courses Plus Wi-Fi Tablets

Once a week, I post to a blog for Tom’s IT Pro that’s sometimes called “Making It in IT.” That means I also get the word from Tom’s on all of their contests and promotions. Lately, they informed me about a contest they’re running in partnership with online IT e-tailer CDW through October 31, 2012.  There are two grand prizes on offer, both Microsoft certification training packages plus Google Nexus 7 Wi-Fi tablets, and four additional of the same tablets as secondary prizes.

One each TrainSignal and ExamForce training package, and a total of 6 Google Nexus 7s.

The two training packages that represent grand prizes are as follows:

• ExamForce Windows Server 2008 training package for MCITP on Windows Server 2008.
• TrainSignal CompTIA Cloud Essentials training package (video-based course covers the CLO-001 exam).

Each grand prize winner will also receive a Google Nexus 7 Tablet as well as the aforementioned training. Four additional runners-up will also win a Google Nexus 7 Tablet as well. To sign up for the exam  — entries are limited to one per person, please — please visit the sign-up page, and fill out the entry form there. Do it soon: the contest ends on Halloween (10/31/2012)!
