College spends a lot of time teaching theory while Server Academy focuses on the skills that are not taught in college (building and administering a Windows Network). A degree is a great addition to your resume when you combine it with practical experience like what you will get through Server Academy.

Now, yes there's more to landing your IT dream job than just showing that you can set up a new server and clone a few virtual machines. You need to have a strong network. You need to be in conversations with recruiters at companies you admire. And you need to be comfortable and confident enough to speak with hiring managers for positions that might seem slightly out of your comfort zone. But none of that works if you don't have the experience and confidence to do the work. And Server Academy is designed to get you there in the shortest possible period of time. What I've done is pull together all of the top skills you'll need to demonstrate that competence and do your job like a pro… And put them into an easy-to-learn format that you can go through on your own schedule… away from the hectic firefighting at work, fully on your own time so that you can focus and work on mastering your knowledge of these key areas of competence.
