I know that most people believe in FAQs being a useful tool. I agree. Having answers to frequently asked questions can save you a lot of hassle when trying to figure something out. However, sometimes it turns out that no matter WHAT the question may be, there is the same answer. Microsoft Certification and Education tends to work that way.
Over the years, I get a lot of questions of the “What classes…”, “Which exams…” and “What do they ask in …” variety. The answer almost invariably ends up suggesting going to Microsoft’s Learning web site… which you can get to here.
(www.microsoft.com/learning if the link doesn’t work for you)
As you can see, assuming you have taken my friendly advice and gone there, along the left there is a list of links dealing with Training, the Certifications, the Exams and a lot of other resources. Along the top are several links to other resources including the private sites for people who already have one of Microsoft’s Certifications. It is a very large and detailed site and it can sometimes be a bit difficult to find exactly what you need so I’d like to show you part of it.
Just as an example, if you put your mouse pointer over the Exams link on the left margin, you should get a popup menu that offers choices for Searching, Preparing or Registering for an exam. You can select one of them from the menu or just click on the Exam link itself to go to the Exams home page. As you scroll the window, you can see several options (including one about Discontinued Exams that I will come back to in another entry) that might send you in the right direction.
I hope that helps but if anyone has questions, or wants me to go through some of the other sections….let me know and you may give me the subject of a future entry.
