Any consensus on where Microsoft Certificates will be
heading in the future? I am familiar with their new certificate programs,
but they seem to be somewhat ambiguous to others that I have spoken with.
I believe many organizations are still recognizing the MCSE as the “
As I recall they were talking about phasing out the old
certificate programs, but when I recently reviewed their site I did not see any
mention of this. I am not sure what the best recommendation would be for
someone at this time for it could be a dilemma, should they spend their time
and money on a certificate that will be obsolete in a few years/months, or recommend
them to move forward to the new certificate programs that organizations might not
recognize anytime soon?
An underlying question might be will Microsoft shy away from
the new certificate program if they do not get the public support and recognition?
Then incorporate newer tests for the older ones such as MCSE. Or are the
new certificates here to stay and they will phase out the older programs
regardless?
