1) Objective: I am surprised at number of prospective students who signed up without knowing why they are enrolling for MCSE training program. Just the plain fact that one of your friends is doing it or you are in need of job doesn't mean that you should jump in and enroll. Knowing WHY you want to do it and how it is going to help you achieve your goal is of paramount importance. So spend some time and ensure you are enrolling for the right reasons.

2) Method of study- There are various options out there eg.classroom instructor led training, e-learning, virtual classroom, cbt, self study. Again choose the one which suits your personality, budgets etc. Each one has its own merits & a demerit, no one method is better than the other.

3) School: Don't just "Google' it and enroll. Take time out, go and visit the location, check out school facilities, hardware, financial aid etc.Make sure school is approved by State Body because in case school is facing financial difficulties after enrollment, state body may transfer you to another school without any additional costs.

4) Instructors: Don't be shy about inquiring about instructor credentials; this is so imperative and critical. Ask about how long person has been training, what their communication skills are like, have they got real time experience. Ask to see their evaluations from previous classes.

5) Cost of Training: Make sure you get total cost in writing, tuition costs, exam cost, practice exams etc. Make sure that there is no hidden costs and all inclusive covers everything. Compare costs with other schools offering in the same area. Ask about there retake policy, is there is additional cost for that, when can you take the class again, how many times etc

6) Pass Rate: Ask questions about student's pass rate, how many students have completed the training and have certified. Ask the school to show you the records of how many students have passed first time.How does school help if student doesn't pass or is having difficulty in certifying.

7) Refund Policy: Ask to see schools refund policy and if possible speak to students who may have dropped out and have requested refunds. You will have a fairly good idea about school refund policy. You can also check with Better Bureau and see if company has any derogatory information listed against them.

Above are few pointers which if followed will save you lot of headaches and grievances later.
