In the technical college I attended, the MCSE program was a bit of a mess.
My instructor was a lot more savvy than most.
He did tell me, in order to pass the various tests, I had to parrot back the correct "wrong" answers to get the marks, but would need the Right answers once I made it into the field, as those would be what would actually work. That, and to pass the practical tests he set up for us that also clearly proved his point.
This, of course, made for twice the work throughout the whole thing.
It has been a couple of *decades* since I took those courses, and I am unsure if things have changed, or remain the same.
Either way, I could only get a minimum wage phone centre job as tier 1 tech support when I finished.
This area has been peppered with tiny little tech shops and computer stores due to the over-saturation of MCSEs that nobody could get the decent jobs that had been promised to us all when we signed up for the course.
