Microsoft Announces Retirement of MCSE+I, MCP+Site Building
1/11/2001 -- Microsoft announced today via its Web site that it will retire its MCSE+Internet and MCP+Site Building certifications.
According to the announcement, most of the core exams for MCSE+I will be retired on February 28, 2001. Those candidates who earn the certification before that date will retain their title until Dec. 31, 2001. No upgrade path is planned.
Exam 70-055: Designing and Implementing Web Sites with MS Front Page 98, a core exam for the MCP+Site Building designation, will be retired on June 30, 2001. However, tests 70-057: Designing and Implementing Commerce Solutions with Microsoft Site Server 3.0, Commerce Edition, and 70-152: Designing and Implementing Web Solutions with Microsoft Visual InterDev 6.0 will continue to be available. Thus, candidates may continue earning the MCP+Site Building credential with exam 70-057 and 70-152 through June 30, 2002. No upgrade path is planned; instead, Microsoft recommends that candidates consider upgrading to the Microsoft Certified Solutions Developer (MCSD) certification.
These announcements weren't unexpected: The three exams required for MCP+SiteBuilding have been out of date for quite some time. And in its February 2001 issue, Microsoft Certified Professional Magazine will quote Anne Marie McSweeney, the acting director for Microsoft's Certification Skill and Assessment group, acknowledging the upcoming retirement of the MCSE+I. She said: "We won't be coming out with [a new version of the] MCSE+Internet. We've upped the bar on the MCSE. Those individuals who have been challenged [with the MCSE+I] - I think they're going to be challenged with the [new] MCSE [for Windows 2000]."

I am a W2K instructor. I have a student that is a W2K MCSE. He learned how to make a user account AFTER receiving his MCSE. Thought paper MCSE's were dead? Think again. |

Does anyone know if Microsoft is planning to dump Visual InterDev. I don't see anywhere that Microsoft plans to include it with .net |
| 9/11/01: RRR says: |
Brandon, Sorry, I liked InterDev also. It is not included with .net :( M$ says that C# and VB.Net will output whatever you want into a "web language" (See asp.net) I'm sure (Uh-huh) that it will work better than InterDev. If you wait another 6-8 months M$ will be saying that InterDev and Visual Studio 6 (and all previous versions for that matter) were all junk and really didn't work very well. You really should upgrade...........You really should upgradeYou really should upgrade...........You really should upgradeYou really should upgrade........... |

The people in here are complete idiots...I'm 2 tests away from being MCSE, I've been studying my butt off for the last 7 months and once I get my MCSE, that's it. I'm gonna be an Engineer, I like the title. I'm not a paper MCSE even though I don't have experience, I know my stuff, I'm the KOBE BRYANT of networking so even though I have no experience, I have what it takes so you. Anyways, you probably guys are pissed because you haven't found a high paying job yet, maybe if you guys fix your resume then maybe you can job. Adios amigos |
