Microsoft Certification: Farewell To The MCSE

Microsoft is in the middle of a big push to overhaul its certification program. Last year, they announced the new Microsoft Certified Architect (MCA) certification, which is not a written exam, but a practical exam, which is graded by an audit committee. Just applying for certification is 10 years of experience in the IT and three years of practical experience as a network architect.
For those of us who are not quite ready that Microsoft has announced that there are other certifications required. The MCSE, which we have all come to know and love is a thing of the past. In his place, a number of tests and specialization IP Professional certification tracks.
If They currently the MCSE or work, do not worry, you have plenty of time to adjust to the new track. & 39; Microsoft& 39;s official word is that the new certification structure will be implemented when the next Windows client / server version is released. For the holding MCDBAs your current certification will remain valid, and you have the opportunity to upgrade to the new SQL Server certification with 2005.
Those of us who have been on the certification track for a while remember the outcry if Microsoft planned to stage the much-maligned NT 4.0 certification for the conversion to Windows 2000. There was an outcry from many certified individual who felt, MS unreasonable in their schedule and the lack of support planned for the 4.0-certification. Whether you agree with Microsoft& 39;s planned changes, I urge you to visit the Microsoft certification page regularly to keep up with these changes.
Whether you pursue any of these new tracks is your decision, but you owe it to themselves and Her career to know about the new tracks. Change is inevitable and in the IT certification of the IT world, and you must be aware of these changes!
