Getting Started on the Microsoft Certified Professional Member Site

When you achieve Microsoft Certification, you have the skills and tools that are necessary to help increase your job satisfaction and productivity. Microsoft Certifications are developed to help you learn at all stages of your career, not just in your first IT job. You keep your skills updated and validate your expanding professional skill set when you become certified. A Microsoft Certification is also your invitation to join the worldwide community of Microsoft Certified Professionals (MCPs). Use the resources that are available only to MCPs to help you identify your career opportunities and develop an effective certification plan to reach your goals.
