Upgrade Exam Class?

---

Hello, wondering if there are any plans to create a class geared for the MCSA 2012 to MCSA 2016 upgrade exam specifically? 70-743 I believe it is. Thanks.,

They're going to direct you to put in a course request using the link near the top of the course library page. I already requested that course, so please vote it up. The more votes it gets the more likely they are to do it.

@Adam-Tyler, Matthew is right in "Course Library" under "Course Request" you can make a request for a specific show. If a requested course gets enough votes we will shoot the course.

Thank you. I voted on the existing request.. About how many votes is "enough" to get you guys to shoot the new class? I imagine for an upgrade exam like this you could probably pull together episodes from the existing classes that were geared for someone testing from scratch right? Rather than having to shoot everything over again...? Then shoot whatever is missing and come up with an updated list of exam objectives focused on the upgrade exam.

Most likely we would explain the differences in true functionality - What's New in Server 2016. Not just focus on the exam but how the product has changed. It would be done after we complete the shows for 740, 741 and 742.

Our instructors feel that the upgrade exams tend to be more difficult because they focus on such a small amount of material. If you have experience working with MS Server, they have found the 3 exams easier to pass. BUT it's 3 exams vs 1 exam.

Angie, thanks for your reply. I am very surprised to hear you say that your instructors feel that the upgrade exams tend to be more difficult.. I've been certified since my MCSE 2003 and have upgraded from there to MCITP 2008, then to MCSA 2012.. Trust me, the upgrade exams are the way to go... Really looking forward to this upgrade exam focused class.

How long do you anticipate the 740, 741, and 742 classes to take to produce?

We will be able to continue and complete the Server 2016 shows when the full functionality of the product is available to demonstrate. When we can create the labs, it will be done. We are hoping it will be all complete by the end of Q2.

Great, Thanks!
