Upgrade your .NET 2.0 Certification to MCPD: Enterprise Applications Developer 3.5

With Advanced Custom Training, you will learn hands on, from the best instructors.

The MCPD: Enterprise Application Developer 3.5 program is a highly interactive 7-day developer class designed to teach new features and technologies of the .NET 3.5 framework. Learn new features related to ADO .NET (Linq & Entity Data Model).  New technologies including Windows Presentation Foundations and Windows Communication Foundations. Finally - complete your training with a quick review of architecture concepts. 

We provide training in both VB.NET & C#

You will be taking two Microsoft exams to satisfy either the C# or VB.NET requirements for MCPD Enterprise Application Developer (70-568/70-569).

WE LIMIT OUR CLASS SIZES TO 12 STUDENTS - THIS ALLOWS FOR MORE ATTENTION FROM THE INSTRUCTOR, MORE SPACE FOR STUDENTS TO WORK AND MORE FOCUSED ENVIRONMENT.

SQLCertifications.com & Advanced Custom Training can get you there:

Our student pass the Microsoft Certification Exams. Our resources and methods are second to none.  We have a 98% success rate of students passing these exams the first time.

During the course of the class day, we teach you how to use the technology with real world examples. 

Facilities:

Our facilities are second to none.  Our training center is located 45 minutes south of Tampa in beautiful Sarasota, FL.  We use top end computer equipment, 20in monitors, cpu's with Virtualization, plenty of memory. Our chairs are comfortable - our desk allow plenty of room for student computer, your laptop and book.
  
Students stay at Marriott & Hilton brand hotels which provide full studio amenities including flat panel tvs, microwave and refrigerator in every room.  Students have access to 20+ restaurants within walking distance of the hotel.

Compare Us To The Competition - 

Many of our competitors place 30+ students in a classroom with only one instructor.  Often they try to extend the life of very old equipment with lag and slow performance on the software used today.  Our competitors often use less than desirable (extended stay) type of hotels in areas not suited for professionals.

Our Microsoft Certified Trainers (MCTs) are not instructors who "read from books".  Rather, our trainers are real world consultants who work directly with companies in addition to training our camps.

Course Materials:
Students attending this blended learning program will receive a robust set of course materials that caters to each of the four primary individual learning-intake styles (lecture, demonstrations, videos and hands on labs) - critical for a successful accelerated learning experience. 

Daily lectures, labs, and review sessions are supplemented by a combination of:

• Microsoft Courseware 
• Additional Files & Resources for add on labs
• Self Study Practice Test Resources.

Delivery Schedule:
The MCPD:Enterprise Application Developer Bootcamp prepares students to achieve 3 certifications during the program: MCPD: Enterprise Application Developr 3.5

Daily Schedule:
Our daily schedule incorporates different modes of instruction and learning environments to ensure that students learn, retain, comprehend, and can apply knowledge critical to a MCSA on Windows 2003.

 *Daily timetable shown for illustration purposes only. Significant changes may be made to the schedule on a daily basis to ensure that the goals of the course are met.
