The Benefits of Using F1 to Certify

F1 Computing, a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, has been a training company for over 17 years and uses this expertise to ensure that its training clients have both the theoretical knowledge supplied by Microsoft Official Curriculum and the practical knowledge that its certified trainers can give.

F1 has two certification options, a 'training only' package and an 'all in' package.  The 'training only' option means that you only pay for the discounted certification training up-front; exams and practice tests (if required) will bear an additional cost.  The 'all in' option has everything in one discounted payment, meaning fewer purchase orders and business plans for your certification. For more details of what is included in each of the packages, please go here.

F1 knows that sometimes some of the material on a course is difficult to get to grips with. To help delegates pass MCP exams, F1 allows certification package delegates to re-sit any course if they feel it will help them pass their MCP.
