I haven't done the course, but I have read some of the workbooks, and
they seemed quite solid and worthwhile.  If it's done right, it can be
a very good thing: at least we don't have any obvious scams like some
of the MCSE providers.

If you can get an employer to pay for it that's great.
Otherwise... just decide whether the benefits (increased
employability?, deeper knowledge?) justify the cost.
