MCAD Certification

Thanks for that but I was meaning more about how people went about getting certified. Did you just sit the exam or did you attend a course first?

If I can squirrel money out of my company, I'll take the course, but more often than not, that doesn't happen. What I always do, however, is purchase practice exams. My personal perference are Transcender's, but there are other, less expensive ones. Practice exams are something you really should look into, and consider the money you will spend on them as an investment in yourself.

Do you know if the courses are run online or locally (I'm in Birmingham, UK) - trying to work out how much it'll be and if my company will stump up the cash!

I really don't know. We have training centers that run various courses in my area, but these training centers are independent of any company and tend to be pretty expensive. You could do some Googling to see if you can find either a CBT (computer based training - usually a training course on CD/DVD. Companies like these because more then one employee can benefit from them), or an on-line course which, of course, would require registration and an accompanying fee.
