MCP

The certification process itself consists of three levels –

MCP

-> MCAD

-> MCSD for the .NET Framework 1.1 track.

You need to take 6 papers in all 5 compulsory and the last one you have a choice.

You are an MCP when you clear any one paper of your liking!! You need to make up your mind whether you want to follow the VB.NET track or the C#.NET track before starting to prepare. You cannot take one paper from one track and take a parallel paper from the other track and claim credits.

The papers are  as follows: 

1) C#.NET / VB.NET

2) ASP.NET (C# or VB.NET track)

3) XML and Web Services (C# or VB.NET track)

4) SQL Server 2000 or higher

5) Project Management

6) You have to choose one of several papers – (Commerce Server/ Exchange Server etc …)

You become an MCP if you clear any one of the first 5 papers. You are an MCAD when you clear papers 1 through 4. When you have all 6 you are an MCSD.NET. However, with 2005, Microsoft has already started upgrade exams. In another year, they would have a separate track for VS 2005!! MCSD.NET will still continue to be recognized at least for the next three years!!

 

 

My suggestion – go for paper 1 and make up your mind which track you want to follow!”

 

So I chose to sit for MCP 70-315 (ASP.NET with C#).
