Microsoft
Certified Professional Description
Individuals with expertise in a particular Microsoft® product can
pursue the Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP) credential. MCPs have
demonstrated in-depth knowledge of at least one Microsoft product. The
MCP credential provides a helpful first step on the way to other
Microsoft technical certifications.
Microsoft Certified Professional Audience
The MCP credential is for individuals who have the skills to
successfully implement a Microsoft product or technology as part of a
business solution in an organization.
Microsoft Certified Professional
Prerequisites
Hands-on experience with the product is necessary to successfully
achieve certification.
Acquired Skills
You will be certified in the use of a particular Microsoft product or
technology.
Microsoft Certified Professional Requirements
MCP candidates are required to pass one current Microsoft
certification exam that provides a valid and reliable measure of
technical proficiency and expertise (a current exam is any exam that has
not been retired). MCP exams are developed with the input of
professionals in the industry and reflect how Microsoft products are
used in organizations throughout the world. Exam 70-058: Networking
Essentials is an exception to the one exam requirement. Passing this
exam alone will not certify an individual as an MCP.
