Parsippany NJ- (June 14, 2002) SetFocus announces VB.NET MCT Master's Program

SetFocus, a Technology Training Center, specializing in the education of developers in VB.NET and JAVA, has just announced a new track in addition to their two current tracks. Seeing the need for .NET instructors in the marketplace, SetFocus has developed a track that will train potential instructors in the VB.NET curriculum and assist these people in achieving their MCT (Microsoft Certified Trainer) certification. Microsoft's .NET is revolutionizing the IT development arena. As more and more businesses embrace this technology, the demand for more developers to be trained in .NET grows tremendously. To help close this skills gap, SetFocus has created the .NET MCT track

Mike Landau, President & CEO, says, "The battle for hearts and minds of developers has begun, with Java and its constituents on the one side and Microsoft and .NET on the other. Bringing developers up to speed in .NET, through various forms of knowledge transfer, is a critical element in Microsoft's strategy. As a result, SetFocus has introduced the first VB.NET MCT track in the country. We feel this will go a long way in filling the market need for such trainers".

The focus of the new track will be on Microsoft .NET Framework using VB.NET. This new version of the popular Visual Basic programming language combines object-oriented features and implementation with full access to all .NET platform features. The .NET/MCT student will receive additional training skills and be given the opportunity to demonstrate his/her presentation skills in a real world environment at SetFocus' facilities. MCTs are regarded as Microsoft product and course experts who have the instructional skills and technical qualifications to deliver quality training to Information Technology (IT) professionals and developers. They play an important role in Microsoft's training and certification process

The training at SetFocus challenges all, and is believed by many industry experts to be the most in-depth, intense, integrated and comprehensive training solution available in the marketplace today.

All Masters Program participants are required to pass an extensive technical exam and interviews to assure they possess the abilities to complete the 13 weeks of knowledge transfer they are presented with. SetFocus receives from 1500-2000 applications to the program each quarter and selects no more than 20 individuals per track.

The .NET curriculum is designed to test every student, with intense lectures combined with in depth lab exercises that focus on n-tier applications with special emphasis on web development. The start date of the next session is July 1, 2002. SetFocus runs sessions on a quarterly basis.
