Microsoft Certifications

[timROGERS]

Has anyone taken any of the Microsoft certifications? I am taking the MCTS (Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist) exam tomorrow numbered 70-620, which is "Configuring Windows Vista Client".

Nah, I've not taken any Microsoft exams, but I'm looking to take the Zend PHP 5 certification exam in a few months.

Good luck with your exam Tim! .

[timROGERS]

Ah, nice one Simon I know a couple of people planning to the Zend one!

I just passed Got a respectable 850/1000, pass mark was 700 so I was well in! Onwards and upwards - gonna go for Microsoft IT Professional Enterprise Support Technician next!

Have to be 18 to take these?

[HotelUser]

Can anyone tell me what's beneficial about getting Microsoft Certified? Sounds like a scheme for them to make money by charging you to get certified, though I've never really looked into it.

[timROGERS]

Nope, don't have to be 18.

The benefit of these qualifications is for fun if you're into that sort of thing, and it may well help to improve your knowledge and career prospects, and they tend to be quite specific qualifications which will look good on your CV.

Nice one I'm planning to take exam 70-622 next, which is about Deploying and Configuring Applications on a Windows Vista Client for Enterprise Support Technicians Should be a bit more difficult, but a challenge is good!

If I pass that, I will be a Microsoft Certified IT Professional: Enterprise Support Technician
