How many forum posts does it take to answer a simple question? We have about 20 posts here now, all repeating what Simon said in the very first reply

BTW if anyone is wondering, the answer is one - I think

Sorry, I seem to have sparked that off by asking for more creative "1"s to be posted

 

How about if i give you all the finger?

Would that count as one

 

According to Microsoft requirements, you need 32.

Independent testing has shown that you only need one...

 

Please tell me you get it...

 

Flogging a dead horse?



I love this thread!

 

I dont agree (not saying that I am right tho)

But for my instance, I am doing MCTS: Windows Apps...

Which consist's of 70-536 Foundation exam & 70-526 Windows App exam.

That makes 2 exams for me to become MCP, anyone agree?

 

There's nothing to agree on. It just is.

 

lol, ok 1 exam makes me MCP, sounds good to me anyways

 

I don't get it Johnny!

 

The new MS certs for MCITP and MCPD are not MCPs.
They are a bit weird and it hasn't really been clarified as to what you get when you pass one. I guess it makes you an MCTS or whatever rather than an MCP - different logos and everything.

How many you have to take is another matter. To certify on SQL 2005 for example, you take an MCTS in implementing and maintaining SQL Server, followed by two further exams to get your MCITP. Are these two exams bith MCTS's as well? What do you get if you only do one of them on its own?

For MCPD, it's more or less the other way round, two exams for MCTS and a further one for MCPD.

Nuts if you ask me...

 

thanks for the info guys.

I totally forgot I had posted that question lol.

cheers

Well it says on the Microsoft site that you need both to become MCTS. Both exams are compulsary.
