| Microsoft Certified Professional (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 that has not been retired).
SO it is only 1 Exam now..Not the 210 and 215 any more.. | |

|  No it hasn't changed. As long as you passed one MS exam you were entitled to MCP status. | |

| I believe in the "old days", you had to pass the Network Essentials test and an OS test to be MCP certified. Net Es has since been retired. | |

| Actually, Shrink, in the old days the only exam that didn't give you an MCP was Networking Essentials. If you wrote any other NT4 exam you would have earned your MCP, but writing Networking Essentials didn't qualify. | |

This is absolutely, 100% correct. The reason for that was that Net Ess. was basically as vendor-neutral a cert as I have ever seen Microsoft put out. In other words, they didn't think that the MCP was appropriate to give out for this test. MCP does stand for Microsoft Certified Professional after all... with quite the emphasis on Microsoft  |
