Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP) in general Reviews
Newest Review: ... admitting the same! Luckily the trainer (why do I have a compelling urge to call him the teacher?) took this news quite well. He was very helpful and said even though we would struggle without the prerequisite qualification or experience, that he was happy for us to stop him at any time to clarify any concepts or terms we were unsure of. I was later to discover that this would have meant I stopped him roughly every 45 seconds but at least the offer was there! The next part confirmed my existing beliefs in the poor quality of Microsoft products, although I hadn't realised until then that their shoddy workmanship also applied to the c... more

Disclaimer: Be prepared for a completely biased opinion! I hate PCs and I particularly hate Microsoft and I have been sent on Course 2152B (Implementing Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional and Server). The prerequisites of which include successful completion of course 2151 (Microsoft Windows 2000 Network and Operating System Essentials), or equivalent knowledge, which I don?t have. Oh joy! I decided on Monday morning that as much as I was annoyed about my boss sending me on this course and I was going to be away from my luscious Apple Mac G4 for a full four days, that I would try to have a positive attitude towards it. My boss as it happens had been (somewhat ... Read the complete review

I have been studying for various MCP's over the last year now. Before I began studying I wasn't employed in a support or networking environment, so the intention was to use this as a way of getting my CV noticed. MCP's actually form the individual components of the full MCSE. To gain the MCSE in Windows NT4 you are required to pass 6 indidual MCP's. Microsoft have now seen fit to make the NT4 exams obsolete and you are only able to take core exams in Windows 2000. To my knowledge, you now need to gain 7 MCP's on the 2000 side to achieve the MCSE. As we all know Microsoft has domination in a lot of areas in computing, and the ... Read the complete review

Well the M.C.P course is a very good course to do if you want a Career change. I am currently doing a course and I think that it is the best computer course you can do. But it can be expensive if you decided to do it through a proper college/university. I have chosen to do the course on my own as it is the cheapest option. The best place to go If you are wanting more info is www.microsoft.com search under M.C.P. and print out the Information there is a lot of info so you are best off printing it out. For M.C.P Training guilds your best bet is to go to a well known bookstore or www.amazon.co.uk, Don't rush into buying ... Read the complete review

The MCP, being the modular bit of all other MS certifications is simply groovy in terms of what it can offer you. Just choose any topic i the MS catalogue and do a course, at the end of the course you sit MCP exams and get certified in the product. It's great for support types who want recognition of their abilities and even better for career progression. What I'd suggest is to get your employer to agree a development plan allowing you to sit MCP exams as and when agreed. If you're clever and you choose the right ones they can build into an MCSD or MCSE certification which is worth BUCKS for you in your job. The courses ... Read the complete review
