Introduction


As soon as you pass any Microsoft exam, you attain MCP status. Microsoft generates transcripts that indicate which exams you have passed. You can view a copy of your transcript at any time by going to the MCP secured site (www.microsoft.com/traincert/mcp/mcpsecure.asp) and selecting Transcript Tool. This tool enables you to print a copy of your current transcript and confirm your certification status.

After you pass the necessary set of exams, you are certified. Microsoft sends you a Welcome Kit in about six to eight weeks. The kit contains a certificate that is suitable for framing, along with a wallet card and lapel pin. In addition, you get a number of other benefits, such as these:

  • A license to use the MCP/MCAD/MCSD logo, which means you can use the logo on your letterhead and business cards (refer to the Microsoft Web site for the logo usage guidelines and terms and conditions)

  • Access to the MCP Secure Web site to get the latest technical and product information, as well as exclusive discount offers on product and services from select companies

  • Invitations to Microsoft conferences, technical training sessions, and special events

  • A free subscription to the Microsoft Certified Professional Magazine Online, which provides ongoing data about testing and certification activities, requirements, and changes to the program

Many people believe that the industry recognition of the MCP/MCAD/MCSD credential goes well beyond the perks that Microsoft provides to newly anointed members of this elite group. We're starting to see more job listings that request or require applicants to have MCP, MCAD, MCSD, and other certifications, and many individuals who complete Microsoft certification programs can qualify for increases in pay or responsibility. As an official recognition of hard work and broad knowledge, an MCP credential is a badge of honor in many IT organizations.
