| Desktop Technician Cert on the Way?
Microsoft is reportedly planning to add a new certification title to its stable, this one for desktop support personnel.

7/30/2003 — Microsoft is reportedly planning to add a new certification title to its stable, this one for desktop support personnel.
Microsoft, as of press time, had no official comment on the certification, but reliable sources have learned some early details. The certification is said to require two exams. One will focus on management and troubleshooting of Windows XP and the other on general application support. Both tests will be entirely new, not recycling any previous material from other exams.

The expected timeframe is October.
The certification appears to be aimed squarely at help desk workers. According to sources, Microsoft sees the new title as filling out the third tier of IT infrastructure support, the other two being network administration (MCSA) and network design (MCSE).

| why does microsoft continue to waste time with their continual effort to lower the standard... to be more inclusive instead of exclusive by coming up with these new lower level certification...
first the mcsa... now this... and all they could come up with the make their mcse happy is to conjure up some crappy security cert which can be substitute by comptia's security+... sigh...
go up, not down MS, add practical labs, doesn't have to be a whole day lab exam, but a 4 hour stint on a lab environment for a random subject would do a world of good for mcse legitmacy, not some dinky desktop crap for cert schools to sell to those utterly unqualified entry IT peon. | |
