The certification tests will expire after a given time period.
However, Microsoft has discontinued the practice of expiring the
certifications. In other words, if you attained your MCSE in NT4, you
still hold that qualification, although the actual exams have been
retired. You cannot, however, claim MCSE in W2K without taking the
appropriate exams. So while your cert in NT4 is still valid, it is not
up to date with the current technology.
Hope this helps.

Not entirely true...
Exams are retired, but certs remain active as long as there is an
industry demand for them.
See the link below for the scoop from MS.

| Pre NT exams have expired.
He should have been more specific in his question though.

| I read this as asking if "Certifications" retire. Not whether the
courses/exams retire.
As you stated, the "Certification" does not retire, once you attain a
certification, be it MCP in a certain technology or MCSA even MCSE, you
retain that certification.
As you further stated, as a technology is retired, becomes mature or
obsolete...it may become redundant...at that point MS will retire the exam,
no further certifications will be issued in that course. If you have already
attained the certification, then you retain all rights and privileges that
go along with it. Meaning that it "may" count toward the pre-requisite
requirements for further certifications and you may still claim the
certification/skill at the level it was issued (NT, W2K, Ofc 97, Ofc
2K...etc). You are NOT allowed to posthumously "promote" yourself at the New
certification level, without passing the specific exam for the newer
technology.

| Certifications do retire. This may be confusing as they decided not to
retire the NT4 MCSE when they planned to but I don't recall any mention of
certs no longer retiring. The NT 3.51 certification has expired.
Visit this FAQ and click on the question that states "I am an MCSE and have
passed the Windows NT 3.51 exams. Is my certification still valid?"
