Recruitment Agencies

Hmm, I've recently looking at doing a MCSE as all the job roles I look at seem to be based upon this one qualification instead of experience.

While I know recruitment agencies are spawn of death I just received a phone call which sounded more like a pyramid scheme than a recruitment agency. Any way this recruitment agency is willing to put me through the qualification with the large majority of the cost for the course highly subsidised my the new employer and the finders fee the recruiter receives.

As the bloke continued to give me the generic rubbish as he read it from a computer screen, I was wondering if anything like this is possible or is it a huge scam?

Company in question (which has one of those, you can earn huge amounts of money websites from working in IT): http://www.computrain-uk.com/

Thoughts ?

Urggg.. after doing some searching looks like they are a bit of a scam. I think I can safely say that ill be doing self learning than getting humped over that.

Yep... Scam (I know people who have looked into this sort of nonsense in the past).

Nobody gives you something for nothing in this day and age... least of all recruitmnt companies.

My advice.... build your own company then you'll never need to impress somebody with nonsense paper qualifications.

The self study MCSE books are very good, if you want to do it just buy the books and get your head down. Exams are £88 per pop which isn't all that much. IIRC you get 15% off 4 exams with the core books.

You can also purchase or download (cough ) testing kits such as transcender or test king.
