About time somebody woke up Bill Gates, Christ I've been screaming about this for months. Cramsession News Flash: Microsoft Makes Sweeping Changes To Its Certification Program ================================================================ (10/11/01) - Cramsession has learned that Microsoft will make a public announcement today that will radically change the shape of its existing certification program. The biggest bombshell: MCSEs certified on the Windows NT 4.0 track will NOT be de-certified after December 31, 2001, as was previously indicated. Instead, Microsoft is going to recognize two distinct MCSE categories: "MCSEs on Microsoft Windows 2000" and "MCSEs on Windows NT 4.0". Microsoft is also introducing a new certification, the Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator, or MCSA. A new Microsoft exam is being created for this certification track, Exam 70-218, Managing a MS Windows 2000 Network Environment. Here is a list of the valid certifications that will be recognized by Microsoft under its new certification policy: * MCSE on Windows 2000 * MCSE on Windows NT 4.0 * MCDBA on SQL Server 2000 * MCSD * MCSE+I on Windows NT 4.0 * MCP+I on Windows NT 4.0 * MCP+Site Building * MCP Microsoft is also extending the deadline for Microsoft Certified Trainers (MCTs) to achieve their "MCSE on Windows 2000". MCTs will now have until May 1, 2002 to get their Win2K MCSEs. This deadline was originally set for December 31, 2001. This message was edited by SNAKEBITE on 10-11-01 @ 1:09 PM | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | That's actually a SICK announcement. I was actually looking forward to the NT4 certs being de-certified. Why? The market is way too saturated with "paper MCSEs" - people who probably have NEVER been in front of a server in their lives, but they just took a class, read a book, take the test, and they're certified. What happens when you put them in front of a real-life server? Nothing. They don't know SHIT. But they sure think they do. And that makes them DANGEROUS. It also completely de-values the MCSE. Now is a great time to become an MCSA. Talk about valuable.  Me droogies: Noellevious.... she's made me so proud. Two positions available. Come and get one in the yarbles.... if you have any yarbles. | ||||
