Microsoft is in the middle of a major push to overhaul its certification system. Last year, they announced the new Microsoft Certified Architect (MCA) certification, which is not a written exam but rather a practical exam that will be graded by a board of examiners. Just applying for the certification will call for 10 years' experience in IT as effectively as three years of practical knowledge as a network architect.

For these of us not rather ready for that, Microsoft has announced that it's also going to revise other certifications. The MCSE that we've all come to know and enjoy is going to be a point of the past. In its location will be a series of specialization exams and IP Professional certification tracks.

If you're currently an MCSE or working it, do not be concerned, you have plenty of time to adapt to the new tracks. Microsoft's official word is that the new certification structure will be implemented when the subsequent Windows server/client version is released. For these holding MCDBAs, your present certification will remain valid and you will have a chance to upgrade to the new certification with SQL Server 2005.

Those of us who have been on the certification track for a whilst bear in mind the outcry when Microsoft planned to phase out the much-maligned NT four. certification in the move to Windows 2000. There was rather an outcry from many certified people who felt MS was becoming unreasonable in their timetable and planned lack of assistance for the 4. certification. Whether or not you agree with Microsoft's planned alterations, I urge you to visit Microsoft's certification site routinely to keep up with these adjustments.

Whether you pick to pursue any of these new tracks is your choice, but you owe it to yourself and your profession to know about the new tracks. Change is inevitable in IT and the IT certification world, and you need to be aware of these changes!
