“Consider your-self Certified”

Girls taking ICT GCSE / A-LevelAs a child, I fondly remember l Dad telling me how we lived in the same village as the world’s first computer programmer, a British woman called Ada Lovelace. From those promising beginnings, in Britain today, women now account for only 11% of IT professionals working within the IT sector, and that is harming our industry.

Men and women have complementary strengths and weaknesses; we have evolved this way to avoid over-design and make best use of our resources. We are designed to work well in the smallest family units, and in the work place. Numerous studies have shown that corporations with gender-balanced teams at all levels of the organisation perform significantly better. Today’s technology industry is in dire need of the “softer” skills often associated with women.

An example is the multi-talented Sophie Johnston. Top of her year in Computer Information Systems at Liverpool University, she is now working as a junior ScrumMaster using the agile programming methodology. A ScrumMaster is an agile project manager who emphasizes facilitation, leadership and communication over traditional command-and-control activities, skills that women tend to bring to a team.

Earlier this year Sophie also helped dent the “IT Crowd” image of IT professionals, stereotypically seen as sandal-wearing blokes lacking social skills. She won the most votes in the Miss Universe GB competition, showing that brains and beauty can indeed come in one package, but that is still a surprise to many people in the industry. This achievement alone is not going to change the public perception but it’s a start.

The perception that “girls are not good with tech” is perhaps the toughest battle of all. As someone who has had the extremely unusual experience of seeing life from both sides of the gender divide I can assure readers that sexism is alive and well in our industry today, and the perpetrators are not always men. Where this attitude is doing the most harm is in our schools, with girls even today being discouraged from taking computing and ICT. It’s an alarming fact that the number of young women taking A-Level computing has fallen from 13% to 9% in the last 5 years. Ironically this is despite girls performing better than boys in GCSE and A-Level Computing and ICT.

When growing up my sister and I (as a boy, remember) were encouraged towards different topics – humanities and arts versus science and maths. Speaking with teenagers today I fear that the same stereotyping which encouraged my sister and me to take different paths two decades ago is still prevalent. I am confident that if my female brain had been born into a normal female body, rather than a male one, I would not be the successful technology entrepreneur that I am today since I would not have been encouraged in that direction.

My favourite geek-girl, Sophie, is the exception, not the rule to the rule; only 5% of her course was female. We desperately need to encourage more young teenage girls towards maths, science and technology, and that is something that each and every one of us can and should do something about. Leaving the gender issue aside, we need the girls simply to bolster the ICT professional workforce. In my capacity as an employer I am disturbed by how hard it is to find good ICT graduates of any gender and I can’t afford for it to be a constraint on the growth of my business. Above all persuading more Sophies to enter the industry is fundamental to the success of the UK technology sector and indeed UKplc. The wider industry needs to take up the cudgels.

Preparing for and Taking an Exam – FAQ

Preparing for and Taking an Exam – FAQ

Fully prepare for and understand the exam process. On this page, you can find
answers to frequently asked questions about exam registration, preparation,
scoring, testing technologies, question types, formats, policies, and security.


Q. What is the most effective way to prepare for a
Microsoft Certification exam?

A. The exam preparation guide for each exam offers a "Skills measured" section
that you can review, as well as a list of preparation tools and resources
provided by Microsoft. The best way to prepare for a Microsoft Certification
exam is to practice the skills listed in the preparation guide.

* Learn more about preparation guides


Q. Can I find out how many questions there will be?

A. We do not provide information about the number of questions included on each
exam. This practice helps protect exam security and the value of Microsoft
Certifications.




MCITP Training
MCSE Training
MCTS Training


Q. How much time will I have to complete the exam?

A. The time varies from one exam to another, but it will not exceed four hours
under normal circumstances. In addition to answering the exam questions, you
will have time to review instructions and provide comments after the exam is
completed. To request the duration of your exam, contact Prometric, the
Microsoft Learning test provider; however, because Microsoft reserves the right
to change the exam content and time at any time, the most accurate information
will be obtained if you contact Prometric on the day of your exam.

The testing software provides a notification screen before the exam begins that
shows the maximum time allowed for answering the questions in that exam. Some
candidates may complete the exam before reaching the maximum time.

Microsoft is dedicated to developing technology that is usable for and
accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities. If certification
candidates are unable to take a Microsoft Certification exam within the standard
exam duration, the MCP program is committed to making all reasonable efforts to
accommodate these candidates.

Inquire about the duration of your exam (Prometric.com)

View specific information regarding special accommodations


Q. What is the most efficient way to use my time during a certification exam?

A. Individuals vary in their approaches to test taking, so there is no one
approach that works for everyone. However, these tips help most candidates:

Note whether a section of the exam is timed. You will be unable to return to a
timed section after you have left it or after it has timed out.

Use all of the time allowed for each section and for the entire exam.

Answer the questions you know first. If you are unsure of a question, mark it
for review, and return to it later. In some exams, you cannot return to a
section of the exam after you have left it; these sections will be clearly
indicated during the exam.


Q. What is the most efficient way to navigate through previous questions on a
certification exam?

A. To return to the question immediately preceding the question that you are
answering, use the Previous button. To return to any other questions, use the
Review Screen at the end of the section or the exam. In some exams, you cannot
return to a section of the exam after you have left it; these sections will be
clearly indicated during the exam.


Q. Why do some questions cover topics that are not specifically called out in
the preparation guide?

A. Our exam preparation guides list key tasks that subject-matter experts have
identified as important for the technology area covered by the exam—but they do
not list all subtopics related to the key tasks. The preparation guides list
subtasks that might be included on the exam, but the actual exam might include
other subtasks. Also, some questions might reference technologies that are
outside the focus of the exam in order to provide appropriate context for the
question. Candidates who fit the audience profile for the exam should have the
experience to understand this contextual information.

Learn more about exam preparation guides


Q. The study materials I used to prepare for the exam included technically
inaccurate information. How can I provide feedback?

A. If you have feedback about an instructor-led Microsoft training course, you
can provide it directly to the instructor. If you have feedback about a
Microsoft E-Learning course, complete the feedback form that appears when you
complete the course. For Microsoft Press books, use the following link.

Provide feedback about a Microsoft Press book

Microsoft does not review study materials developed by third parties and is not
responsible for their content. If you have questions or comments about exam
preparation materials developed by third parties, please contact the publishers
directly.


Q. I studied for an exam by using Microsoft training and a Microsoft Press book,
and the exam included material that was not covered in the training or the book.
Why is this?

A. All learning materials related to exams, including Microsoft training and
Microsoft Press resources, are developed independently of exam content, because
the exams are intended to assess real-world experience with the technology, not
the effectiveness of training materials. Although these materials are designed
to help candidates prepare for the exam, it is expected that qualified
candidates will have sufficient experience in working with the technology to
successfully perform the tasks described in the test questions.

Use the exam preparation guide to identify which Microsoft training resources
cover the skills represented in the exam. For a variety of reasons, including
the time available for the course, it is not always feasible to cover all the
exam objectives in a classroom environment. However, Microsoft works hard to
ensure that some form of training material exists for all skills that will be
measured on an exam.


Q. How and when will I get my exam results?

A. You will receive notification of your pass or fail status immediately upon
completing your exam. In addition, you will receive a printed report that
provides your exam score and feedback on the skills measured. The exam provider
will forward your score to Microsoft within five working days of your test.

Beta exam results: You will be notified by mail of your beta exam results about
8-10 weeks after the beta period ends. Some beta exams require additional time
for results to be processed. Call your test registration center for more
information.


Q. If I fail what can I do?

A. If you do not pass a certification exam and want to retake it, review the
exam preparation guide and continue to practice the necessary skills. When you
are ready, call your test registration center to schedule a retake in accordance
with our retake policy. Note that you must pay for each exam you retake.

Review the exam retake policy


Q. What testing formats and question types appear on Microsoft Certification
exams?

A. Microsoft Certification exams include various formats and question types,
which are applied on a per-item basis to accurately evaluate the candidate’s
knowledge and skills.

  • Formats might include:

  • Case study format

  • Simulations

  • Virtual labs

  • Question types might include:

  • Multiple-choice questions

  • Hot-area questions

  • Active-screen questions

  • Drag-and-drop questions

  • Build-list and reorder questions

  • Microsoft is continually introducing innovative testing technologies.




Q. Can I find out which testing formats will be used in the exam I’m taking?

A. No. Microsoft does not identify the formats of any given exam at the time of
registration. Also, we adopt new testing technologies and question types
periodically. Both practices help us protect exam security and the value of
Microsoft Certification.

To get a feel for the exam testing technologies, we encourage you to take
Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP) practice tests offered through Microsoft
Certified Practice Test Providers. The following tips may also help you.
Hot-area questions


Q. How do I know which elements are selectable?

A. Selectable elements are marked with a border and shaded when you move your
cursor over them.


Q. How do I select an element or cancel a selection?

A. Click an element to select it. The area around the element will become dim to
indicate that it has been selected. Click the element again to cancel the
selection. To reverse all selections, click the Reset button.


Q. I can’t see the complete text of a question. What should I do?

A. You can use the split bar to resize panes. In some cases, you might need to
use the scroll bar to view the entire text of the question or the entire
graphic.
Active-screen questions


Q. How do I change the text in a text box?

A. To fill in a text box, drag the appropriate text element to the text box. To
replace the text in a text box, drag another text element to the text box. To
remove the text, drag the text element back to its original location.


Q. How do I select an option or a check box?

A. To select an option or a check box, you can either click the option or check
box or click the text of the option or text box.


Q. How do I clear an option?

A. To clear an option, you can either click another option within the same group
or click the text of another option within the same group. To reverse all
selections, click the Reset button.


Q. How do I clear a check box?

A. To clear a check box, you can either click the selected check box or click
the text of the selected check box.


Q. I can’t see the whole text of a question. What should I do?

A. You can use the split bar to resize panes. In some cases, you might need to
use the scroll bar to view the entire text of the question or the entire
graphic.


Q. I tried to select an element, but it isn’t responding. Why?

A. In some active-screen questions, not all elements in the dialog box will be
active.
Drag-and-drop questions


Q. How do I answer a drag-and-drop question?

A. Drag the appropriate source objects to the correct target locations in the
answer areA. Target locations are indicated by a dimmed box. When a source
object is within a target, an outline will appear around the dimmed box. The
object will snap into position when you release the mouse button.


Q. How do I remove a source object from a target?

A. You can either drag the object back to its original position or select the
object and press the DELETE key. To replace objects that have been positioned on
a target, you can also drag another object into its position. To reverse all
selections, click the Reset button.


Q. I can’t see the whole text of a question. What should I do?

A. You can use the split bar to resize panes. In some cases, you might need to
use the scroll bar to view the entire text of the question or the entire
graphic.


Q. Do I need to use all source objects or targets provided?

A. You might not need to use all source objects or targets provided. Depending
on the question, plausible distractors may be included in either list.


Q. Can I use source objects more than one time?

A. Some source objects can be used only one time, while some can be used more
than once. A source object will appear deactivated when its use limit is
reached. To use this source object again, remove an instance of it from the
answer area.

Build-list and reorder questions


Q. How do I answer a build-list and reorder question?

A. Drag source objects from the list of choices to the answer list, and arrange
the objects in the correct order. You can also click a source object to select
it, and then click the LEFT ARROW key to move the object from the list of
choices to the bottom of the answer list.


Q. How do I reorder objects in the answer list?

A. To reorder objects in the answer list, drag an object to the correct location
in the answer list. You can also click an object to select it, and then use the
arrow buttons to move the object. Note that the arrow buttons might be
unavailable based on the location of the selected object.


Q. How do I remove an object from the answer list?

A. To remove an object from the answer list, drag the object from the answer
list to the list of choices. You can also select the object and press the DELETE
key, or select the object and then click the LEFT ARROW key. In all these cases,
the object will be returned to the list of choices.


Q. How do I remove all objects from the answer list?

A. To remove all objects from the answer list, click the Reset button. Case study
format


Q. Why is the case study exam format used?

A. The case study exam format uses complex scenarios that more accurately
simulate what Microsoft Certified Professionals do on the job. A case study
model also allows us to test your ability to analyze and synthesize information
to make decisions.


Q. When I start a case study, will I be able to review previous ones?

A. No, you will not be able to review a case study after you move to the next
one. When you complete a case study and its associated questions, a review
screen will appear. This screen lets you review your answers and make changes
before you move to the next case study.


Q. The scenarios are long and contain many details. Are the case study questions
designed to test memory?

A. Scenario-based questions are designed to test your ability to analyze and
synthesize information in order to make decisions—not to test memory. You can
refer to scenario details as frequently as necessary while you are working on
questions in a case study.


Q. How do I display the content in a case study?

A. Click one of the round buttons in the left pane. If a list of sections (for
example, Business Requirements or Company Information) appears under the button,
click one of them to display its content. To return to a question from a case
study, click the Question button in the left pane.
Performance-based testing


Q. Why is Microsoft adding performance-based exam items to certain exams?

A. Traditionally, Microsoft uses the format for exam items that most accurately
evaluates the candidate’s knowledge and skills. Such formats may include:
 

  • Multiple-choice single answer questions
  • Multiple-choice multiple answer questions
  • Hot-area questions
  • Active-screen questions
  • Drag-and-drop questions
  • Build-list and reorder questions
  • Case studies


    There are certain skills that are more accurately validated through direct
    hands-on methods like simulations and lab-based testing. This varies from exam
    to exam.


Q. Which exams include performance-based items?

A. To date, the following exams include performance-based items:

Exam 70-290: Managing and Maintaining a Windows Server 2003 Environment

Exam 70-291: Implementing, Managing, and Maintaining a Windows Server 2003
Network Infrastructure (core Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator and
Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer on Windows Server 2003 exams)

Exam 70-293: Planning and Maintaining a Windows Server 2003 Network
Infrastructure

Exam 70-294: Planning, Implementing, and Maintaining a Windows Server 2003
Active Directory Infrastructure

Exam 70-431: TS: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 – Implementation and Maintenance

Exam 70-620: TS: Microsoft Windows Vista, Configuring

Exam 83-640: TS: Windows Server 2008 Active Directory, Configuring (This exam
will gradually replace the current version of the exam: Exam 70-640: TS: Windows
Server 2008 Active Directory, Configuring.)

Note that this list is subject to change at any time. Some exceptions apply in
selected regions.

Locate a testing center near you

In the future, most Microsoft technical certification exams will include
performance-based items.


Q. What is the difference between performance-based testing using virtual labs
and performance-based using simulation technologies?

A. Simulations restrict you to a small number of expected paths to complete exam
tasks, whereas virtual labs allow for any path and tool available in a real
computing environment, as long as the result is correct.


Q. Which exams include performance-based testing items built on virtual labs
technologies?

A. At this time, only Exam 83-640 includes virtual labs testing items. This exam
is currently available in English only and in certain countries. Since the
virtual labs testing items validate the same skills and knowledge as the
multiple-choice items, candidates should not take any different approach to exam
preparation.


Q. Are performance-based exams available in all testing centers?

A. Not at this time. Note that when enough testing centers in a region have
demonstrated that they can deliver performance-based exams, only the
performance-based version of the exam will be available to customers in that
region. In other words, all of the testing centers in a given region will
deliver the performance-based version of the exam.


Q. If the performance-based exam is not available in my area, when will it
become available?

A. Performance-based exams will eventually be available in all testing centers.


Q. When will additional exams with performance-based testing items be released?

A. The decision to apply performance-based testing is made on an exam-by-exam
basis when Microsoft determines that it is the best method to validate a
particular skill. Some exams have many performance-based questions, and some
exams have few or none.


Q. Will the entire Exam 83-640 consist of completing tasks in a virtual lab
environment?

A. There are certain skills that are better tested by more traditional formats,
such as multiple-choice questions. The number of hands-on tasks in an exam
depends on the skills being measured.

Learn more about Exam 83-640


Q. As the exams become updated with lab-based items, am I required to retake
them?

A. No. The skills that are tested do not change; therefore, retesting is not
necessary.


Q. Should I prepare for the lab-based exams differently than I prepare for other
exams?

A. No. As with non-lab-based exams, we recommend that you use exam preparation
guides to find out the subject areas, knowledge, and skills that are required to
pass the exam. When an exam is updated with a new lab-based testing item, the
skills measured remain the same.


Q. Do performance-based exams take longer to complete?

A. Yes, these exams are typically longer than exams that do not contain
performance-based items.

Upgrading Your MCSE Certification on Windows Server 2003

Upgrading Your MCSE Certification on Windows Server 2003
You have your MCSE on Windows Server 2003, and you want to upgrade to Windows Server 2008. The first thing to remember is that this is a series of new certifications and, while there is an upgrade path, you are not earning an MCSA or MCSE on Windows Server 2008. Rather, you will earn a MCTS or MCITP on Windows Server 2008. Also remember that the era of the MCSA/MCSE certifications has ended – it is now MCTS and MCITP (and others beyond the scope intended here), and they have an entirely different focus.

The Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS) is concerned with and focused on a deep understanding and use of a specific Microsoft product. The MCITP, on the other hand, represents a broader view of a series of products or integrated products, and it is concerned with planning and developing of the network architecture and design. The important thing to remember is that the MCTS is not
a prerequisite for the MCITP,
per se. In other words, you earn the MCTS de facto by simply passing the required tests for MCITP. You will earn the MCTS on several products if your goal is to earn the MCITP Server Administrator or Enterprise



Administrator on Windows Server 2008.

There are two MCITP tracks available for Windows Server 2008, the MCITP: Server Administrator or the MCITP: Enterprise Administrator (doesn’t mean you can’t get both; they are two separate certifications with different requirements and target audiences). Regardless of which track you
wish to pursue, you will need to take the 70-649 TS: Upgrading your MCSE on Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008,
Technology Specialist exam. Passing this exam will earn you the: MCTS: Windows Server 2008 Active Directory, Configuration (equivalent to the 70-640 exam), the MCTS: Windows Server 2008 Network Infrastructure Configuration (equivalent to the 70-642 exam), and the MCTS: Window Server 2008
Application Infrastructure Configuration (equivalent to the 70-643 exam). One thing to keep in mind is that if you take and pass the 70-649 test, you also earn the same MCTS
certification
that you would have earned by just taking the 70-648 exam.

Now that you have the 70-649 exam, you can decide which of the MCITP tracks you
wish to pursue. If you want to earn the MCITP: Server Administrator, then you will need to pass the 70-646 Pro: Windows Server 2008, Server Administrator exam. If, on the other hand, you are interested in the MCITP: Enterprise Administrator, you still need to take the 70-649 TS: Upgrading your MCSE on Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008, Technology Specialist, but in addition, you
will also need to take two other tests (for a total of 3 tests).

Certification


You can take either the 70-620: TS Microsoft Windows Vista,
Configuring OR70-624 TS: Deploying and Maintaining Windows Vista Client and 2007 Microsoft Office System Desktop (your choice here, but one of the two is required). The last test you need to take is the 70-647: Windows Server 2008, Enterprise Administrator. Once
you have taken all three – congratulations, you are now a MCITP: Enterprise Administrator. The value of certifications cannot be over-emphasized. A certification clearly demonstrates that an individual has met certain requirements and has a specific level of knowledge and skills. There have been significant changes to the Microsoft Certification programs in response to new technologies,
and pressure from companies and individuals. Introducing a differentiation of the ubiquitous MCP
Certification (take a test, any test, and you are an MCP) and the MCTS (product-specific) provides a qualitative approach to certification and applicability to job roles. The new MCITP certification relates more closely to the real job roles of IT professionals as it
can cover multiple disciplines. Understanding the upgrade path from Windows Server 2003 to 2008 can be daunting. There are several exams that can be used for different certifications and just understanding the difference
between the MCTS and the MCITP can be challenging, but very rewarding in the end.

Conclusion
There must be value and worth in earning a Microsoft certification if the program has lasted over 16 years and granted over 2 million certifications. Our old friend the MCSE is soon to phased
out. Those who hold this cherished certification should be proud of their achievements, and those who are on the path to earn the new
MCITP will continue the Microsoft Certification tradition established in 1992. While the new certifications have different names and professional focus, they will still command respect within the IT community. Their relevancy is assured by tying the MCTS to a particular product and demanding a deep knowledge of this product. The MCITP assures that anyone possessing this certification has a breadth of knowledge on various products and is concerned with the network architecture and design. These are exciting times in the Microsoft Certification world.

Upgrading Your MCSA on Windows Server 2003 Certification

Upgrading Your MCSA on Windows Server 2003 Certification
Let us say that you have your MCSA on Windows Server 2003, and you want to
upgrade your certification to Windows Server 2008, or you are not certified at
all on Windows Server 2003 and want to earn your
MCTS on Windows Server 2008. The first
thing to remember is that this is a series of new certifications and while there
is an upgrade path from Server 2003 to Server 2008, you are NOT earning an MCSE
on Windows Server 2008,
rather an MCTS or MCITP on windows
Server 2008. Also remember that the era of the
MCSA/MCSE certifications has ended –
it is now MCTS and MCITP (and others beyond the scope covered here) and have an
entirely different focus.



MCITP Online Training
MCITP Online Certification

MCITP Online Exams

The Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS) has a different focus
then the Microsoft Certified Information Technology Professional (MCITP), and
the former is not a prerequisite for the latter (nor is it a “lesser”
certification!). The MCTS certification
is aimed at IT professionals who work with a specific Microsoft product or
platform. An IT pro who has earned an MCTS is expected to possess depth and
breadth of knowledge
and skills on a particular product or platform. They are expected to manage and
maintain the product or platform on a daily basis. They are also more concerned
with the day-to-day operations and short-term planning rather than long-term
planning and design and design.


There are three MCTS tracks available on Windows Server 2008:
MCTS: Windows Server 2008 Active Directory Configuration; MCTS: Windows Server
2008 Network Infrastructure Configuration, and MCTS: Windows Server 2008
Applications Infrastructure Configuration. You can take each of the tests
individually, or you can take the upgrade path by taking only one test. The
easiest route to upgrade your certification, if you are already an MCSA on
Windows Server 2003, is take (and pass, of course) the 70-648 TS: Upgrading your
MCSA on Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008, Technology Specialist exam.
Passing this exam will earn you the MCTS: Windows Server 2008 Active Directory,
Configuration (equivalent to the 70-640 exam) and the MCTS: Windows Server 2008
Network Infrastructure Configuration (equivalent to the 70-642 exam). The last
of the three MCTS certifications – MCTS: Window Server 2008 Application
Infrastructure Configuration – is earned by passing the 70-643 exam. The other
part to earning your MCTS on any one of the three paths is to pass the 70-646
exam Windows Server 2008, Server Administrator.

Earlier Microsoft Certifications (MCP, MCSA, MCSE)

Earlier Microsoft Certifications (MCP,
MCSA, MCSE)

Up until the release of the new generation of certifications (from the IT Pro
side), there were just four certifications that roughly equated to four distinct
levels: MCP, MCSA, MCSE, and MCA. These were not product-specific (for the most
part, there some that were platform-specific), nor did they denote cross-product
expertise.


Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP)
The first level in the certification hierarchy was the Microsoft Certified
Professional (MCP). The MCP certification meant that you had taken and passed a
Microsoft
certification test, any test at any level (with some caveats based on upgrade
tests). This was one of the key issues with this certification. The MCP never
denoted on what product you had tested – just that you had passed a test and
were certified as an MCP. This did not in any way diminish the value or worth of
the MCP, but it did create confusion for IT managers, human resource
departments, and the IT pros themselves. What value could be placed on an MCP
certification (or rather the test that was passed to achieve the MCP)? What did
it mean for the IT pro? “Was there a qualitative value difference between what
test the individual passed in order to earn their MCP? These were all very good
questions, and they were answered with the MCTS and
MCITP certifications.

Microsoft Certified System Administrator (MCSA)
The next level in the old Microsoft Certification hierarchy is the Microsoft
Certified System Administrator (MCSA). The MCSA certification came long after
the Microsoft Certified System Engineer (MCSE). This certification was supposed
to represent a differentiation between the SA (System Administrator) and the SE
(System Engineer) with respect to the job role that the IT pro would fulfill,
based on these certifications. Unfortunately,
many people saw the MCSA as more of a precursor or a stepping stone to the
MCSE – it was believed (rightly or
wrongly) to be not as “valuable” as the MCSE, and there were some who didn’t
want to “settle” for the MCSA

Older Certification Numbers
As stated earlier – there are over 2 million Microsoft Certifications that have
been earned by individuals since 1992 (as of 9 July 2008). That is an amazing
number of certifications – in fact, it is slightly more than the entire
population of New Mexico. But this figure is misleading as this includes ALL
certifications earned over the years. (There are over 395, 798 MCSEs on Windows
NT4 alone!) Table 1 is a list of the current certification numbers for the MCSE
and MCSA certifications on Windows Server 2000 and 2003. In both cases, there
are more MCSAs then there are MCSEs.

The Value and Worth of a Certification Is Validated

The Value and Worth of a Certification Is Validated
Individuals and employers have enough difficulties trying to understand the
value and worth of a certification, and this is made even more difficult when a
major certification vendor changes the entire structure and naming of their
certification program. Microsoft started such a restructuring last year and
continues to do so with the announcement of their new Master Certification and
exams. To give an example, there are some employers
who do not understand or know about the new
MCTS
and MCITP certifications and
seek to hire new employees who have their MCSE (Microsoft Certified System
Engineer) on Windows Server 2008 – even though this certification doesn’t and
won’t exist.
 





Microsoft Certification

The MCSE certification was Microsoft’s premier certification up to 2006 when the
Microsoft Certified Architect
(MCA) was announced. The Microsoft Certified Professional program (MCP) has been
in place since 1992, with more than 2 million people having achieved a Microsoft
Certification worldwide.4 The MCSE
certification
itself has been around since the NT3.5 days (mid-‘90s). It is
12+ years old in its current form, and we have developed a certain comfort and
familiarity with it. An entire generation of IT Professionals has “grown up”
knowing exactly where an MCSE fits into the certification scheme, and they also
have a good idea of what is involved in earning the MCSE, as well as the worth
of this certification, both financially and professionally.

This does not mean that there haven’t been additions and other enhancements to
the program over the years. The original MCSE was earned on a specific variant
of the NT system. Let’s say you earned your MCSE on NT 3.51 and then on NT4. You
were certified on those two systems – as a Systems Engineer. This same naming
approach held true for Windows Server 2000 and Server 2003. This meant that you
were an MCSE, MCSA, or an
MCP (this white paper addresses the IT
pros, not database administrators [DBA] and developers).
 

The New Microsoft IT Pro Certifications and Exams

The New Microsoft IT Pro Certifications and Exams

Introduction
f you have been in the IT field for any length of time, you are more than
aware of the plethora of certification providers and their certifications.
Trying to fathom what each certifications means; the worth of a certification,
and how a certification from one vendor compares to a certification from other
vendor (where applicable, ofcourse – having a certification on MS SQL cannot
readily compare to having a certification with Juniper Networks). One question
that is asked repeatedly by both employers and IT pros is whether there is value
or worth in obtaining a certification. This question comes from a number of
different quarters. To answer the question succinctly: yes, certifications are
valuable, to both employers and for IT pros. This white paper will address why
certifications are valuable. It will also cover the new Microsoft certifications
in general and the MCSA/MCSE Windows
Server 2003 to MCTS/MCITP Windows
Server 2008 upgrade path specifically



Microsoft Certifications
Reasons Why You Should Get Certified
There are a number of valid reasons why an individual should certify, and
why companies should encourage their employees to become certified and hire
certified individuals. Several studies show that companies that hire certified
individuals and encourage their employees to earn certifications do prosper
better than companies that don’t.


Top Ten Reasons To Hire a Microsoft Certified Profession (MCP)

1. Improve Project Deployments
Independent research1 has shown that organizations with a majority of their
teams certified by Microsoft reported significant improvements in delivering
projects on time and within budget.

2. Increase Customer Satisfaction
Certified staff help to increase customer satisfaction through improved
service, higher productivity, and greater self-sufficiency.

3. Improve Support Costs
Independent research2 has shown that organizations with certified staff
experience less network downtime and lower dependency on unplanned support.


4. Validate Vendor Qualifications
When outsourcing projects, certification provides assurance of vendors’
technical qualifications.

5. Gain a Competitive Advantage
Employees who hold Microsoft certifications bring more advanced skill sets
to provide higher levels of service and productivity, giving your business a
competitive advantage.

6. Benefit by Investing in Your Staff
Organizations that invest in certifying internal technicians generally
attain successful revenue results 3. 7. Increase Employee Satisfaction Employee
satisfaction and retention are higher when management facilitates employees’
career goals.

8. Objectively Benchmark Your Staff’s Talent
Certification serves as a reliable benchmark for hiring and promoting staff
employees, and ensures your organization is built on top-quality technical
talent.

9. Reward Employee Expertise
Certification recognizes and rewards productive employees by validating
their expertise. Certification also provides re-training opportunities so
existing employees can work more effectively with new technologies.

10. See Objective Results of Your Training Investments
Certification provides an excellent return on training and certification
investments by providing a standard method of determining training needs and
measuring results.

A November 2006 IDC study found that team performance increases when each new
team member becomes certified—every time.
• For each new team member who becomes a Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP),
team performance increases every time.
• The skill level of a team is directly responsible for how an organization
performs in several key IT functional areas.
• When you increase the concentration of Microsoft certified team members on a
team, you directly affect team performance.
• On average, MCPs make up 40 percent to 55 percent of top performing teams.
• Seventy-five percent of managers believe that certifications are important to
team performance.
• Sixty-six percent of managers believe that certifications improve the level of
service and support offered to customers.
• "…for each additional member of a team certified, team performance increases.
Whether the increase is
from 37 percent to 38 percent of the team being certified or from 60 percent to
61 percent of the team, the team performance increases overall." IDC, Value of
Certification: Team Certification and Organizational Performance, November 2009
