    This is one of today’s Groupon offer. But it says "EXAMS EXCLUDED".
    The course is provided by a UK based company. There is no place to question groupon.ie and there is no further information on http://www.learningforyou.co.uk

    So what are the bets that the exams cost hundreds and you have to go to the UK to sit them?

    My advice as a MOS holder & instructor would be to stay away from this deal. I'm not in business at the moment so have no vested interest in saying this.

    Exam costs can range from €75 per exam you sit, up to €200 depending on the location. If you already have a competency in the applications covered in this package then you should be able to check the curriculum and exam topics online directly with Microsoft. There are plenty of self help "how-to" explanations to be found on the internet as well.

    So basically my advice would be to skip paying Groupon for the deal and go straight to self-study with free methods and then sitting the exams. Therefore save yourself more money. :D
