Hi guys,
Microsoft Learning is back with the second shot program. But now it’s with a twist. Read here more about it….
With the release of SharePoint 2010 this year, there will also be a release of new certifications. The best part however, is that there will be the release of additional certifications that will fill the gap of that middle-ground.
MCTS – Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist
SharePoint Server 2010
Exam 70-667: TS: Microsoft SharePoint 2010, ConfiguringDeveloper, SharePoint Server 2010
Exam 70-573: TS: Microsoft SharePoint 2010, Application Development
MCITP – Microsoft Certified IT Professional
SharePoint Server 2010
Exam 70-668: PRO: SharePoint 2010, Administrator
MCPD– Microsoft Certified Professional Developer
Developer, SharePoint Server 2010
Exam 70-576: PRO: Designing and Developing Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Applications
MCM – Microsoft Certified Master
IT Pro / Dev
Microsoft Certified Master: SharePoint Server 2010
Although I’m not graphically showing a road map here, as you may be able to interpret these are in order of a career path, so MCTS would come before MCITP / MCPD and those would come before MCM. There are also plans for a MCA (Microsoft Certified Architect) that have not been released. Essentially that’s the cream of the crop.
Now that I think about it, the Microsoft Certification path follows almost a Higher Education academic degree system, and probably not by mistake.
MCTS = Associate’s Degree
MCITP/MCPD = Bachelor’s Degree
MCM = Master’s Degree
MCA = Doctoral Degree
I’m pretty pumped about the new certs coming out. I have been studying for MCITP – Enterprise Administrator, and look forward to studying for MCITP – SharePoint Server 2010. If you don’t have any certifications associated with your name, it will be a great year to get started. 🙂
