I am Nasir from Pakistan, nasirkhannb@yahoo.com Employers don't rate Microsoft certifcations highly.They have been de-valued over the last ten years. That is the sad truth. Unless you also have the relevant work experience to go with your MS certification, your resume will be trashed 99 times out of a hundred. When I go to interviews, I have never been asked to produce my certificate. I only get asked about my previous work roles. I'm not saying MS certifications are pointless, but you really do need the experience to go with them.

Im an MCP studying for my MCSA. I wish employers,human resouce people had some sort of knowlege regarding the Microsft Certifications and how much hard work people put into getting them.In Chicago,which is a very big city,IMHO I think human resources and employers dont know much about the certification process. I have been passed over for positions by people whom are NOT even qualified to blow bubble gum!Im serious!Maybe its the recession, I dont know,but I am hoping nest year will be the year of the Certified Professional.

Although I agree with most of the comments, it may help up a certain level. To get a job however, it has less weight. When I look at myself, recently certified MCSA 2003 - Messaging and 45 years young, but unable to get a decent job, due to lack of experience with large complex networks. And of course, the economic resession

I have to agree with all my MCP colleagues on here. After seeing a few of my fellow work colleagues pass earlier this year i was looking forward to physical proof of passing my exam and although it is my first exam my feelings where somewhat deflated knowing that my official certificate and card would not be provided. Please reconsider this option.

Please reverse course on the decision not to send certifications and cards. As demonstrated by the community this actually increases your overall pollution output. I also think I've earned properly certification documentation.

Hello Microsoft, Please re consider your policy regarding the issuance of certificate and wallet card and kit. previously you stop sending technet ,and now this trust me its create bad image for number one IT company in the word who have no problem for finances. These few things are great help for MCP's, otherwise there are number of other IT vendors , who knows after 10 years people like to become apple or sun certified instead of MCP. So think about it and forget what your finance director is saying.... Regards

I am an MCSA, MCSE, MCITP SA, and MCITP EA. I have been MS certified for over 10 years. I'm going to join those complaining about the digital certificate format. When printed, it doesn't fill the page, leaves a white border when framed, and just looks cheap. The colors, yellow for the MCTS and orange for the SA/ES are quite hideous also! In order to achieve certification, we spent money on MS training kits and the exams themselves. We will also push a lot of Microsoft products at our companies. Certified TS's and ITP's GENERATE REVENUE FOR MICROSOFT! The least you guys can do is pony up a few bucks - and that's all it is - and give us proper certificates & wallet cards. Your decision had nothing to do with "going green", which is a load of bunk anyway, but that's another story. It was a poorly thought out decision. Recognize the error and reverse it please.

From Pakistan Its absolutely wrong decision to not send a welcome kit and ID cards. I finished my MCTS, MCTIP Enterprise administrator and next thinking about Exchange server 2007. If you people stop this due to money .Then it’s not a good deal because in that case you will safe money but also Microsoft is losing image .I know you people will not notice it. But Microsoft have to notice it many many student are angry after it. it look like bad sound please take action. Thanks.

This is not done....after studying so hard we dont even get the hard copy of the certificate....why do we need to pay for it again when we have already paid for the exams......the idea of the digital certificate is good but we should even be given the hard copy without being charged extra for it as that has more value....

i am very happy to become a member of the ms family, i will like to know how to get my kits and how long dose it take. we all know that the digital format is a faster way and easier way of sending us our certificates but in my own part of the world most companies take the original hard copy more seriously. besides the digital copy can be faked any time . ea are all digital guys but we prefer the old school style. thanks.

Kintakunte (827 Days ago)
 
Mcrosoft we understand your reasons of not sending the hard copies but to me it doesnt make any sense, because i think why dont you add the money for the posting of the hard copy certificate to certified candidate to the exams price ,so for example you can say ok...70-270 is 10 dollars then with the shipment of the hard copy its 15 or 20 dollars ,then when we pay for it we know after the exams we get our hard copy....i hope you will take notice of this and work with it

hi i want to know what will i get after completing the MCITP certification i have seen that my friend has written the CCNA certification and they provided him the ID card with a photo as a proof but i came to know that you have stopped sending the ID card or other certificates then how can we show to the interviewers that i am Microsoft certified professional. If i show the printed copy of the digital certificate which you provided in the mcp member site then they will beleive it. Because i am new to the job search as i am fresher. Please please please help me in this regard and provide me the proper solution. I am eagerly waiting for your reply. Thank you.

Yea Microsoft ,thanks for your support and help to us all , but like my friends said on here we need the hard copy please you must let us get the real hard certificate copy not just a paper, cause with the hardcopy finding job seems easy and real to the companies but with this paper its nothing,so please we plead with you because without you we are nothing and without us you are nothing so we are all for each other ....50/50 THANKS KINTAKUNTE

Although I love Microsoft interest in helping the world to go green thereby helping to save our planet but this should be done without sacrificing our own career. This change is too violent and it's dangerous. The digital & paper copy should have been allowed to go side by side for a number of years when massive advocacy must have been carried out before eradicating the latter. Then our society which value paper certificate would have become used to the transition. Please reconsider your decision & make it transitory. In Nigeria here, the paper is essential. Thanks.

The idea of printing the certificate that was adopted by Microsoft, has a goal of reducing costs and reduce forest clearing, with that whole environment wins and we won. And we have the transcript to prove our abilities, we do not need a "paper", and that everything is nice and gratifying to have one of these at home, but we should think more about the environment.

KSPS (887 Days ago)
 
Its a pleasure to be called a certified professional. But what do you think about just a downloadable copy of the cert? Well I guess MS should think uver again about the issue. I guess this is the first company(to my knowledge) that says certs are being handed digitally to keep the world green and yet let people buy them for a so called mere $10. Yes, having access to both would have really helped and an option could be provided to those who(Which I believe would be narrowed to none!) agree with the MS regarding the greenary concept and prefer to have only digital copy. But for others like me Please issue SOLID Certs as usual for free!!!

Pablo Amman (889 Days ago)
 
Changing the certificates to digital only copies, with all due respect, has got to be the most ridiculous idea I have ever heard of. Why? Because you claim that the purpose is to go green, although you still send out copies but only to those who pay an extra 10$. You could easily add an option saying "I do not wish to receive a paper certificate" for those interested. Microsoft is losing and will lose thousands of certificate seekers to other firms dealing with similar certification programs. What will happen now is that microsoft will raise all exam prices by 10$ for the new year, then say that DUE TO DEAR CUSTOMER REQUESTS, we will send hard copies for free.

What about the guys that don't have an American Express, MasterCard or Visa credit card?

I think that the "enviromental protection" is not a good excuse at all.

And the most important of all is that thanks to a certification you have the skills to do the job.Also as Michael Jackson said, heal the world.

Is microsoft loosing business to come up with this adea of not posting certificate? who ever came ip with this decision, he/she must go back to the drawing board and change that idea. Digitalising must be an option not a must. We need our certificates (original hard copy). is Bill Gates broke? Big no to that idea. Forward our certificate instead of viewing. We paid for exams, we must also pay for certificate, it doesn't make sense. Why can't microsoft charge the price of writing icluding posting price. Someone is loosing it...

If you plan on buying the prep book $125exam + $65book = $190, I think MS can afford to send us our certs?

Indeed, Microsoft should give us the option to download digital certificates. However, I pay $125 per exam _out of pocket_. That is a lot of money, especially in these hard times. Microsoft should send out physical copies of our certifications *free of charge* because of our investment in their company and certification structure. We help produce a steady income for them so they should help us in return! Give us something more than a cheap paper certification, especially for big certs like MCSA and MCSE!

Hi all, Just found out today that microsoft will charge another $10 to send over the physical copy of the certificates... I dont think that there was any call to do that... Not that the quality of the certificates was aces in the first place, it seems microsoft itself is not really concerned about that effort, time and money a person puts in for a certification exam. Also, I fail to understand why they are separating the concept of exam and result... As a person who is investing in these microsoft exams, I would like to be able to showcase my achievements in any way possible and original(physical) certificates are by far the best way of doing so. 'Wonder what these guys will think of next....maybe they will come up with additional fees for certifications to be deemed valid in each continent / country... Ooops ... 'hope I didnt just give them another idea...

hmm .... I have just yesterday passed my MCTS certification in Server 2008 configuration. As for Digital Certificates, I too think that the digital certificates must be as an option and also we need to get the certificate on paper.

As the other guys, I prefer receiving my certificates in paper format... Certifications are expensive enough to keep that. Or maybe Microsoft should lower the exam fees...

I Agree with the above dude...Microsoft is going thru a lean patch in development due to recession but its also doing good business selling XBOX360"S n Zune"s other hardware...it doesn"t make any sense changing certificate to digital when we are paying for certifications and i wudn"t feel good recieving a digital format copy...Moreover the current quality of certificates microsoft shipps is very poor and i recieved a certificate which almost got screwed in shipping..thnaks to GATI...seriously think Microsoft should stop thinking digital but go ahead and make the certificate quality much better and am sure with the kind of passion people have for microsoft certs lot of people will look forward for it certs..Microsoft needs think about it!

the value is to receive the certificate as hard copy and the ID from Microsoft. and it's very good option to print them from your own site.

certificates are identity of an individual,so therefore provide both ie., digital and the printed certificate.

Yep, I second that. seems Redmond's trying to save cost but if that's the case, there's something called trickle down economics. It doesn't hurt 1 bit to cut down on the cost of an MS cert or am I stepping on sore toes& getting blank stares?

Why change certificate to digital format? We put high emphasis on our Microsoft Certification, spending our wealth, time, and energy, but transitioning the actual certificate to digital format loses the value of the effort we put in it. Not to mention that we paid for the exams to get certified. Certificate is a proof, but where's the value of it if we can just print it out on our own? shouldn't you make the digital format only as an option instead?
