About ODNC Study Groups

The Ottawa .NET Community has successfully hosted 4 Study Groups. Each Study Group aims at mastering material for a specific MCTS exam. We take a peer-to-peer approach to learning and all participants are involved in preparing and presenting the material being worked on. We use self study kits which break down exam requirements into 13 chapters and spend a week on each chapter (note that larger chapters are spread over 2 weeks). Participants are expected to prepare for each session by reading the material and doing the exercises. Each week’s study session runs for 2½ hours (6:00pm – 8:30pm), is broken into 3 sections (Content Review, Labs/Exercises/Demos, and Exam Prep), and presented by Study Group Members on a rotating basis. We have two reviews built into the schedule (Mid Term, and Final) and we expect all participants to write the certification exam at the end of the study session.
