By the time I had my Shuttle I was used to writing exams. I started off training the CompTIA A+ and Network +, then I got my first MCSE qualification on Windows NT 4.0. After that because I needed to train the courses, I was almost continuously writing exams to update to Windows 2000 MCSE, then 2003, and so on.
I think it gets easier when you're doing it like that, and to be honest, a lot of stuff that I was teaching 20 years ago for the Windows NT4.0 MCSE is still the same today. So, it's not like you're trying to learn everything from scratch each time, just what's new, or what's being deprecated.
Now with this whole Coronavirus thing it looks like I might be getting back into the training scene (which I haven't done full time for over 10 years). There's huge demand for Virtual Online Training now.
Sounds like the perfect excuse to build myself a new massively overspecced SFF PC again to run all the Virtual PCs and Microsoft Teams meetings! ?
Nice!! I ended up falling out of touch with IT work and got more into Web Development and Design.
Although, it is by far the main reason why my passion for pc building is still with me.
I still remember "trying" to help a neighbor out with her Windows ME PC...?
It is also a handy skill when (I worked) in an office.
Also, I think it a perfect time to build hehe ? Time to spend the next few weeks on Pc Part Picker.
