Kaplan IT Learning Announces Practice Exams for the Windows Server 2008 Certification Track

Transcender, a part of Kaplan IT Learning and a provider of award-winning exam preparation software for IT certification tests, today announced the release of practice exams for Microsoft’s new Windows Server 2008 certification track.

“Becoming certified on both Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008 is a valuable way for IT professionals to demonstrate advanced technology skills and professional dedication,” said Brian Sholly, President of Kaplan IT Learning, a global provider of educational services for certification preparation, skill assessment, learning services and software to help individuals and organizations train on technology. “Certification on Windows Server 2008 will help IT professionals be prepared when their organization evaluates and deploys Windows Server 2008.”

The Windows Server 2008 certifications are part of the new generation of Microsoft certifications, which emphasize primary skill sets and job roles, providing a more relevant, flexible, and cost-effective way to validate core technical, professional, and architectural skills. Transcender practice exams simulate the complexity of the live certification exam to help IT professionals assess their exam preparedness through challenging questions, detailed answer explanations, and thorough references.

For those IT professionals who are currently a Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator (MCSA) or a Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE) on Windows Server 2003, Microsoft offers a transition path to becoming a Microsoft Certified Technical Specialist (MCTS) on Windows Server 2008.

Transcender will be the first to offer practice exams for exam 70-649: Upgrading Your MCSE on Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008, and exam 70-648: Upgrading Your MCSA on Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008. These practice exams are available now at www.transcender.com for $219.
