Here is a list of Frequently Asked Questions About the test

1. I'm taking your Intro to Programming with VB, Part 1 course at ZDU. I intend
      to take part 2 also. I'm very interested in taking the test. My question
      to you is after these 2 classes, what other classes should I take and 
      should I take them before taking the test?

   Answer: You should take the Visual Basic For Programmers, Parts 1 and 2, 
           at ZDU, or their equivalent. The Microsoft Certification for VB test is
           very intense, and you simply don't have a chance to pass it without
           the right background and preparation.

2. Does Microsoft insist that you take one of their courses or can you 
      just take the test. 

   Answer: No, by no means do you need to take any of their courses in order to 
           take and pass the Microsoft Certification test. You can do as I did
           which was to walk in without having taken any VB courses, and pass the
           test. Microsoft sometimes leads you to believe that you must take 
           Certified Microsoft courses in order to take the test, but that is 
           not the case. All you need to do to take the test is sign up for the
           test, and pay $100.

3. I have worked in MS Access for a while and am taking your ZDU class to 
      supplement that, and eventually want to get MS Certified. Is taking the
      test at this point out of the question?

   Answer: Your question is a good one. I think you would be wasting your time 
           and money taking the test without having a good solid background in VB. 
           That doesn't mean that you need to work professionally with VB to 
           pass the test---I don't believe that. But you should take the 4 VB 
           courses at ZDU (or their equivalent) prior to taking the Certification test. 

4. Where do I take the test---can I take it in Nevada?

   Answer: If you link to Sylvan-Prometic from this page, they can tell you if there
           is a testing center near to your home. I'm sure there is!


5. If someone were to start learning Visual Basic today, in your opinion, what would
       be the minimum amount of time before they should consider taking the test?


   Answer: Provided that they progressed, learned the language, and practiced a bit---
           I would say 1 year.
 

6. I thought that in order to get the certification, you have to be working on an actual 
       commercial project while preparing for the test? 


   Answer: No, that's not true at all. You just need to pass the test.
