Slide 1: Getting Started with Microsoft Certification: Introduction and Agenda

Are you interested in beginning or advancing your career in the Information Technology (IT) industry?
This presentation will show you how becoming a Microsoft Certified Professional is one of the best ways
to demonstrate to your employer, clients, and colleagues that you are qualified to get the job done and
move ahead as a computer professional.

* I'll show you how the demand for computer professionals is growing worldwide, and how you can
help fill that need by becoming Microsoft-certified.

* I'll describe what the Microsoft Certified Professional program is.

* I'll summarize the benefits to you and your organization when you become certified.

* Finally, I'll explain the steps to earning certification and how you can get started.

Slide 2: The Demand for IT Professionals Grows

The IT industry is growing at an incredible rate.

* A recent study by the Information Technology Association of America reveals that 346,000
information technology jobs are currently vacant in U.S. companies, leaving one in 10 jobs unfilled.

* Microsoft estimates that among 13,000 companies that are Microsoft Certified Solution Providers,
more than 41,000 technical jobs are open worldwide.

* This trend is continuing. The U.S. Commerce Department reports that between 1996 and 2006,
America will require more than 1.3 million new computer professionals, such as systems analysts,
computer scientists, engineers, and programmers.

What does this mean for you?

If you're thinking of moving into the exciting profession of information technology, great opportunities are
waiting for you. And if you already work in the industry, it's an ideal time to enhance your career. In either
case, one of the best ways to show an employer or client that you have the necessary knowledge and skills
for the job is to become Microsoft-certified.

Slide 3: What Is Microsoft Certification?

Microsoft certification enables computer professionals to assess and demonstrate their software-related
skills. The exams measure the ability to perform specific job functions.

Microsoft offers eight certifications in the following areas: an entry-level credential that provides a
steppingstone to other certifications, systems engineering, database administration, solutions development
based on Microsoft development tools, and specialties in advanced Internet technology.

Slide 4: Microsoft Offers Eight Certifications

Choose the certification that is right for you:

The Microsoft Certified Professional credential, which is considered the first step leading to a premium
certification, requires passing one exam.

Microsoft Certified Systems Engineers design, install, support, and troubleshoot information systems.

Microsoft Certified Database Administrators derive physical database designs, manage and maintain
databases, and install and configure Microsoft SQL Server.

Microsoft Certified Solution Developers use development tools and platforms to create business
solutions.

Three credentials are for professionals who specialize in the Internet:

The entry-level Microsoft Certified Professional + Internet credential, the Microsoft Certified
Professional + Site Building certification for Web site developers, and the premium Microsoft Certified
Systems Engineer + Internet certification.

We also offer a Microsoft Certified Trainer credential for instructors.

Slide 5: What Are the Benefits of Microsoft Certification?

The Microsoft Certified Professional program offers many benefits, including:

* Industry recognition of your knowledge and proficiency with Microsoft products and
technologies.

* Access to technical and product information directly from Microsoft through a secured Web site.

* MCP logo and certificate to enable you to identify your Microsoft Certified Professional
status to colleagues and clients.

Other benefits may also apply, depending on the certification.

Through certification, organizations can maximize the return on investment in Microsoft technology.
Research shows that Microsoft certification provides organizations with:

* Increased customer satisfaction and decreased support costs through improved service, increased
productivity, and greater technical self-sufficiency.

* An excellent return on training and certification investments by providing a standard method of
determining training needs and measuring results.

* A reliable benchmark for hiring, promoting, and career planning.

* Recognition and rewards for productive employees by validating their expertise.

* Retraining options for existing employees so they can work effectively with new technologies.

* The assurance of quality when outsourcing computer services.


Slide 6: What Are the Steps to Certification?

These are the steps to earning a Microsoft certification:

1. First, choose the certification that best matches your career goals or job tasks.

2. The MCP Web site lists the exams required for each certification. Get an Exam Preparation Guide from
the Web site for each exam you plan to take. The exam prep guide lists the skills measured by the exam and
training resources that map to the exam.

3. To ensure you have the skills and knowledge necessary to pass the exams, you may want to use the many
training resources available, such as:

* Instructor-led Microsoft Official Curriculum courses offered by Microsoft Authorized Technical
Education Centers.

* Self-study guides and training kits offered by Microsoft Press and independent courseware vendors,
and online training offered by independent training providers.


4. Use and know the Microsoft product you are learning. Hands-on experience is a prerequisite for passing
an MCP exam.

5. Take a practice test, which gives you the opportunity to answer computer-administered questions that are
similar to those on the certification exam. Free practice tests are available for download on the MCP Web
site.

6. Each certification exam takes about an hour to an hour and a half. You may take the exam at any of more
than 1,400 testing centers worldwide.
