The recorded sessions and session files are made available only to the registered attendees.

Check out the readiness materials on our New Path to Master Certification page: www.microsoft.com/.../master-sql-path.aspx

The readiness includes a number of free videos you can download and recommendations for other materials.

Hi Robert

Is there any way i could get a hard copy or website to download the training sessions and labs. Attending is out of question as I stay in India, plus our internet isnt always reliable. I sincerely dont mind paying for it please, though I am pursuing this Certification through my own funds I truly know its worth it.

Would it be asking if you could give me any site which can help me with more exam oriented study labs and sessions other than SQLservercentral SQLskills ( unfortunately there again Paul and Kim dont have downloads or hard copies for sale for their Immerse sessions) beyondrelational, brentozar,pluralsite,solidqor the pass forum.

A very solid point, Dave. In order for this program to be successful, we will definitely need to ensure that the material is the appropriate level. Each MCM trainer is creating their own content, and I will definitely make sure that all of the trainers understand this.

Also, I will be one of the trainers. I will be covering three session: Recoverability and Integrity, Availability, and Scalability.You can be assured that I won't be covering the basics of how to do a backup or restore. You can expect things more along the line of performing an online page restore to recover from corruption.

Thanks Robert.

My only certain about taking this training is the depth in which is covers the material.

Whilst the SQL Skills videos covered a lot in terms of breadth of material, they spend a lot of time on about fairly simple areas of the topics ie, things you should probably already know before commencing the training and therefore weren't able to cover any one topic in great depth.

Are you able to comment on this aspect of the new training? Our training budget isn't huge, and I want to spend it wisely.

Hi Didier. We have not yet planned any further sessions of this. We will make that decision based on how well this first series goes. If there is sufficient demad for it, we will most likely deliver future sessions on it.

We are cosnidering making recordings of the sessions available for offline viewing. I do not yet know whether that will be accpetible to all involved parties. I'm 100% behind it because my goal is to help people get prepared for the MCM exams.

Do you know when the next Accelerated Exam Preparation Program is scheduled ? Also, can the online review session be viewed offline/after schedule ?

Thanks

And no, it won't be the same trainers as in the videos.

To DJ: I don't know what plans are in the works for the Exchange MCM training offerings. I'll see if I can find out.

To Dave: There will be some overlap of topics being taught, but it won't be teh same content. the key component of this training is that you will have the opportunity to interact with the trainers live and ask questions in real time.

How will this training compare to the free videos at sqlskills.com/T_MCMVideos.asp

Will the instructors be the same? Will the material be the same, or more/less advanced?

Thanks,

Dave
