Microsoft Official Curriculum Provides Hands-On, Self-Paced Training and
Preparation for Microsoft Certified Professional Exams

REDMOND, Wash.--March 29, 1995--Microsoft Corporation today announced the
availability of the MICROSOFT WINDOWS NT TRAINING kit, the Microsoft
Official Curriculum self-paced training kit designed for individuals who
implement, administer, and support Microsoft Windows NT. Upon completion
of the coursework, users will be able to configure, optimize, and
troubleshoot the Microsoft Windows NT Workstation and Windows NT Server
version 3.5 operating systems. The kit also helps prepare users to take
the Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP) exams for Windows NT
Workstation and Windows NT Server-two of six exams required to become a
Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE).

Self-Paced Kit Saves Computer Professionals Time and Money

Developed by Microsoft's Business Systems Division Training Group and
distributed by Microsoft Press, this hands-on training kit makes it easy
for computer professionals who are unable to attend an instructor-led
training class to get the in-depth training they need to become MCPs. It's
also an ideal way for advanced users and computer professionals at all
levels to get detailed information about Windows NT or to update their
knowledge from version 3.1 to version 3.5.
