Microsoft certs with FAS

    I see that Fas are doing a course for a MCSA server 08 in the new year, I am out of work at the moment and plan on doing an MCSA(I would prefer 2012 though), I have desktop support experience but very little server, I'm just wondering would it be more beneficial to the 3 exams on my own self study or with FAS ? Discipline won't be problem is I were to do self study, but because I have little server experience I'm wondering would I hit a wall and struggle doing it myself and would I be better doing it in a classroom with a teacher? The course would be involve 2 hrs roundtrip travelling a day, I don't mind that, but I'm wondering would I be better doing it myself and spending that time studying.

    I would prefer to do an MCSA IN 2012, which I could do myself, but I'm afraid I'd hit a wall, and maybe only do 1 or 2 out of the 3, so if I felt I would be pretty sure to pass all 3 with FAS I would do it with them instead.


    The course says that it requires a N+ and or a MS Cert, I'm thinking that people with only a N+ cert and no experience would struggle with it, and may slow the general speed down.(MS Recommends you have a year experience with server 08)

    The course says it takes about 6 months, which I'm thinking i would struggle to do it myself in that time frame, so I'm wondering would I be more likley to get it done in that time frame if I did the course or would it make any difference

    Basically, has anyone thats done a MS cert with FAS, or any classroom study felt that the class and teacher enviornment was more beneficial that doing it yourself with books/videos, especially if you had little experience in it, did you understand it better? If you work hard at it, and attend every day do the majority of people generally pass?


    i have a n+ and 70-680 at the moment

    Many thanks in advance
