  • Personal Experience with Careersaver In the Fall of 2007, received a sales call from ISS just after I had purchased another training package from a competitor. The sales person led me to the ISS web site and supplemented the information there with answers to my questions. The most decisive sales points were Platinum Status and the source of up-to-date training indefinitely. Additional strong points of the offering were the credentials of the ISS staff and the fact that Microsoft Press materials were used. Proof of a very good decision to becoming an ISS Platinum member is that even as a leader in the hectic world of helping to manage the US global air mobility processes is that I have successfully passed three of the core Microsoft MCSE 2003 tests.

  • Personal Experience with Careersaver I was called by a sales rep in December 2007, at a point when I was contemplating purchasing a competing vendor's 2-year training package. My reluctance was due to the 2-year time limit - I wanted to be able to use the product for much longer that that! As such, the offer from ISS was the right product at the right time for a decent price. I immediately ordered the 70-292 and 70-296 training packages, since those exams were due to expire on 31 March, 2008, and I needed to get my MCSA and MCSE upgraded! I was able to pass both exams on the first attempt (having failed 70-292 roughly 18 months earlier) after using the ISS products. I'll be putting my Gold Lifetime membership package to great and continued use (you may even get tired of me lol), being the sort who maintains and upgrades his credentials with uncanny devotion!
