Hi Jeff
Will there be any exam simulator for the 1Y0-a04 soon?
Hi Fred,
I can’t make any estimates about it yet, but I’m thinking I’ll start on it as soon as I’m done with the 264. So it’s looking at least a month to 6 weeks away from being finished. Sorry, I’m pumping them out as fast as I can, I promise :^)

What is it I need/need to buy? I’m seeing a lot of jobs that say they want Citrix experience, so I figured I’d pop a cert real quick…unfortunately, there aren’t a lot of training aids out there and not a lot of information about how to go about getting a cert based off present requirements.
From what I can tell, a CCA is probably what I want. Have anything that will take me from knowing nothing about any of it to being cert-ready?
Hi Chance,
I really don’t recommend getting certified without experience, BUT, if you’re wanting an “entry-level” place to start in the Citrix world, learning Presentation Server 4.5 or XenApp 5.0 is it.
The correlating CCA exams would be 1Y0-256 for PS 4.5 and XenApp 5.0 on Windows Server 2003 and 1Y0-A05 for XenApp 5.0 on Windows Server 2008. Hope this helps.

Hi Jeff,
Any progress on the A04 exam?
- Ralf
Hi Ralf,
Still working on the A09. I really don’t have an estimated date for the A04. I’ll let you know when I do.
- Jeff
Hi Jeff,
No worries. Passed A04 two days ago :-)
Used the admin / enablement guides & plenty of hands on.
Any estimate on A09?
are you planning on doing a PvS A06 version any time soon?
Cheers,
-Ralf
Do you have plans to produce a study guide for ’1Y0-A17 Implementing Citrix XenDesktop 4′? If so, when do you think it will be available?
Hi Chris,
As of now I don’t have a schedule for the next exams I’ll be creating. As soon as I finish moving Citrixxperience to its new location, I’ll get a schedule of new exams together.
Thanks,
Jeff
