  • Microsoft certification centers

Hello fellow geeks

I'm planning to hit the road to get Microsoft certs. Unfortunately we don't have any test center here in the north, so it has to be in Beirut.

From Prometric website, here they are:




Can you suggest one?
Don't waste your time at any place. I recommend formatech because most companies send their employees there to get trained. Formatech has the best Cisco and Microsoft certified instructors. It might be more expensive than other places, but it is worth it.
am assuming you just want to take the test, if so I did my first test in Zalka (New Horizon). I highly recommend you do a previous exams, you can find some samples online and even a full test. The tests are very similar like 50% of the exams where like previous exams!
as I remember a test in a prometric center costs the same everywhere true ?
they charged me $120 while the exam cost $80 (with sale)
yeah I have my ITIL and CEH tests in August .. tell us how it went please
@MrClass, I just want to take the exam. I'm studying on my own for some of the certs and for others like ccna I'm already enrolled in classes.
So Formatech, are they reliable and honest to deal with?

@rtp New Horizons only a pearson-vue test center, not prometric unfortunately.

@tarek it depends on the company behind the test, Microsoft exams for example are 100$ each.
Comptia exams vary, I think A+ exams are 150$ each.
But test centers can be ripoff sometimes and ask for more to set everything for you, yet you can purchase your voucher online with the original price and just go and take the test. I don't really know if they will make any trouble with you (they should NOT of course), still didn't take any online test yet!

So any suggestions? maybe just go with Formatech?

Where are you going to take them? are they with prometric or pearsonvue ?
I am coming in August to Lebanon , I will take them in Formatech...I don't mind paying a bit extra knowing they are the real deal

Not in my past experience at Formatech. Out of 4 courses I took, only 1 had a good instructor. The rest range from directly reading from a ppt all the way to reading from a pdf. Yes, there is this instructor who literary opened a pdf and started reading. Glad I wasn't the one who paid for these useless courses. Oh, we did even send out a lot of complaints, but look, the pdf instructor now is a certified trainer. What a joke.
