We Want to Help You Get Certified
To become a Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP), you'll need to
pass a Microsoft certification exam, or a series of exams. Please view "How to Become a Microsoft Certified Professional," a six-minute NetShow presentation, for an outline of the program basics.
Follow these steps to help you prepare for an exam:
- Choose the Certification You Plan to Pursue
There are eight MCP certifications:
Most Microsoft certification exams can be applied toward more than one certification track. With planning, you can earn certifications as you work toward your career goals. Learn more about how you can build your certification path.
- Get an Exam Preparation Guide
When you choose the exam you want to take, get the corresponding exam
preparation guide to find the skills being measured by the exam. Use
the Find
Exam tool to search for the exam you are interested in taking.
- Choose the Training You Need
You may want to use one or more of the training resources that can
help you prepare for a Microsoft certification exam.
- Apply Your Skills in a Real-World Environment
Use and know the Microsoft product you are learning. Hands-on
experience is a prerequisite for passing an MCP exam.
- Take a Practice Test
A practice test gives you the opportunity to answer
computer-administered questions that are similar to those on the
certification exam. (Your score on a practice test doesn't
necessarily indicate what your score will be on a certification exam.)
You can download practice
tests for most certification exams.
