Thanks Dean, you make a very good point.
I am probably ready for MCSE training now, but I am still possibly interested in local classes. I guess I'll check with TMCC and the University.
Another option that I'm looking into is earning an MS cert here in Reno:

The lady on the phone said they do offer MCSE training and tests right here in Reno, but she'd have to have somebody call me back with more info...
