MCP certification created by Microsoft. Naturally, it has something to do with Microsoft products.

The basic goals of MCP certification are: on the one hand, to test candidates' knowledge of a Microsoft product and their technical proficiency in operating Microsoft products by using the test questions established by scientific methods; on the other hand, to make candidates pass the exam is really helpful to solve practical problems. With the expansion of experts in IT industry and the increasing demand for talents, MCP certification is gradually heating up. Candidates can confirm their knowledge of computer software through certification, and Microsoft can also know the use of its products around the world through certification. At the same time, enterprises that use Microsoft products have unified inspection standards when recruiting technicians of related products.

3.3 What's the difference? Master control program and MCPS?

In the current Microsoft authentication expert system, there is no such thing as MCPS, so there is no way to tell the difference between them. If we define MCP more accurately, it should include two meanings: from a high level, MCP is the general name of the whole Microsoft certification expert system and the representative name of all eight certification projects; At a low level, MCP is the name of Microsoft certified product expert, a certification in Microsoft certified expert system, and the most elementary certification.

Generally speaking, MCP refers to the whole Microsoft certified expert system, which refers to all eight MCP certified experts.

4. How to become an MCP expert?

To become an MCP expert, you must pass one or more advanced computer technician certification exams launched by Microsoft. The so-called MCP exam. Among the 8 MCP certifications listed above, 7 can complete the certification examination by self-study or seeking relevant course training at the local Microsoft Certification Technology Education Center (CTEC). To obtain MCT certification, in addition to one of the above MCP certification exams, you must also pass more stringent related exams. Generally speaking, only formal teachers of CTEC can apply.

Once you pass the 1 MCP expert certification series, you will get an MCP certificate issued by Microsoft and signed by Bill Gates. At present, 90 countries in the world recognize MCP certification.

5. What is the organizational form of the Microsoft MCP exam?

The establishment of MCP certification system and the design of test questions are carried out by Microsoft, but the implementation of specific certification examination is operated by two independent companies. The two companies are SylvanPrometric and VirtualUniversityEnterprises in the United States. Silvan has more than 65,438+0,400 APTC(Prometric Authorized Testing Center) in the world, which is responsible for the specific MCP examination business in the world. Although Microsoft does not organize the implementation of the examination, as long as each candidate signs up for the examination and takes the preliminary examination, the company will automatically record its results.

6. Is anyone eligible to take the MCP exam?

In principle, anyone who wants to take MCP can take it as required. Because MCP examination is a series of evaluations of senior talents in computer software, IT is of great significance for those who are already employees in IT industry or plan to join the army of IT technicians to pass MCP examination. Because MCP certificate not only marks your computer software technical strength, but also allows you to enjoy high employment opportunities, high salary and credit-free treatment in it industry-related studies around the world, and may also enjoy a series of special benefits conducive to professional development.

7. Is there any academic restriction for obtaining MCP certification?

No, even if you are not a college student, have not done any computer-related work, and have no recommendation from experts in the IT industry, as long as you pass the corresponding MCP exam, you will get the MCP certificate and become a recognized MCP expert in the global IT industry. The only prerequisite is to pass the corresponding MCP exam.

8.Does 8。 MCP certification exam requires a high level of English?

At present, most subjects in MCP certification exam are still English. There are only three subjects in Chinese mainland's Chinese version exam, namely: 70-059, 70-067 and 70-073. So unless you only apply for the Microsoft Certified Product Expert Examination (only 1 subject), you will always be exposed to the English version of the examination. Moreover, the Chinese version of the examination subjects are written by people in Taiwan Province Province, China, and many language expressions are different from those in Chinese mainland, so it is better to use the English version directly. If you don't know English at all, you will have some difficulties in taking the exam. However, from another perspective, the Microsoft Certified Expert Examination is a professional examination in the computer field after all. The English it involves has quite professional characteristics. If your English is equivalent to non-professional English level 3, then there is no problem. It doesn't matter if English is not good. Just recite more words in the first one or two exams, and you will get used to it later. The key to taking the exam is to master English related to computer use and understand the corresponding practical operation process and principle.

9. I graduated from liberal arts and want to participate in MCP certification. I wonder if I'm qualified?

Anyone is eligible to participate in MCP certification, regardless of age, education or major. As long as they pass the examination of MCP, a Microsoft certified expert, they can get the corresponding MCP certificate. According to experts engaged in MCP certification training, they have taught an older student, about forty years old, who has become a mother. Before receiving the training, he knew nothing about computers and didn't even know how to turn them on. But after systematic training, I successfully passed the exam and got the certificate. This shows that under the correct guidance, amateurs can still pass the MCP exam and get the MCP certificate as long as they work hard.

10. It is said that it is possible to get a high-paying job if you get MCP certification. What is the average annual salary of MCP? Can you tell us one or two things? In China, MCP certification experts are basically engaged in high-tech research related to software development in IT industry, and quite a few people work in foreign companies. Because ordinary people don't want to disclose their accurate income, they can only estimate that the average annual income is about 654.38+10,000 yuan. According to relevant data, the average annual income of MCSE in the United States from 65438 to 0998 is about 60,000 dollars, and the average annual income of MCSD is slightly higher than that of MCSE. However, some insiders believe that this figure is quite conservative. Because American society attaches great importance to work experience, personal annual income varies according to specific work experience. As a MCSE or MCSD person, I am an inexperienced novice at first, and the minimum annual salary may start at $30,000. But after three months and half a year, the salary will be greatly improved, and the annual salary will reach $6,543,800 after one year.

Think about it. If you pass six exams and get a certificate, you may get a job with an annual salary of $654.38 million. Is it cost-effective?

Most people will choose to pass one or more certifications that suit their needs according to the requirements of a specific certification, and it is not necessary to pass all eight MCP certifications. Some MCP enthusiasts imagine a scenario in which Microsoft experts who have passed all MCP certifications are invited to the Bill and his wife's house for dinner. With luck, we will have the opportunity to take a private jet escorted by guards to Portland to watch the NBA professional basketball game with Edgar Allan Poe. Of course, these wonderful moments are just illusions, but if you really want to be an all-round expert on Microsoft products, it may be really valuable to have all MCP expert certificates.

13.8 MCP certification for different professional goals and requirements?

14. As a novice who just stepped into the IT industry, do you have any tips on choosing MCP certification?

It stands to reason that every certification can be the first choice except Microsoft Certified Teacher (MCT). But as a novice computer major, seven MCP certification titles may have dazzled you. Perhaps the best advice at this time is to focus on microsoft certified systems engineer (MCSE) or Microsoft Certified Software Development Specialist (MCSD), especially MCSE certification, because other certifications are derived from MCSE to some extent. Because of this characteristic of MCSE, this kind of certification is more valuable for MCP novices, so it has become the most popular one among MCP certifications, and MCSE certificate has also become the fastest-growing certificate in the world.

15. If you choose the way of self-study, isn't it more difficult than taking part in training and learning?

Choosing the way of preparing for the exam by self-study at least shows that you have a good computer technology foundation. The remaining problem is to keep good study habits and arrange study time reasonably. If you can do these two things, it won't be a chore to prepare for the exam yourself.

16. how much study time should I arrange every day to prepare for the exam by myself?

According to some non-work statistics, none of the people who have passed MCSE certification study more than 6 hours a day, and some even don't arrange weekend study time. They spend an average of 3-5 hours studying every day, and the average preparation time for all examination subjects certified by MCSF is about 6 months. The longest time is 1 1 month, and the shortest preparation time is only 1 month.

Beyond the studio to design for you, so that you can get the MCSE certificate within 2-4 months. For self-taught candidates, how much study time is arranged every day is not the main thing, but the key is to adhere to effective study habits. Arrange 2-4 hours of fixed study time every day. If possible, arrange 5 hours to prepare for the exam on weekends. Try not to fail. If it is necessary to interrupt, try to reduce the number of consecutive days. Most people have to go to work while preparing for the exam and take care of their family needs. Therefore, it is best to make a relatively practical preparation review plan. After all, work and family are more important.

17. Is it important to have a mock exam on the computer?

The exact meaning of mock examination is to operate mock examination questions on the computer. This kind of question is answered in the same way as the real question. You can get familiar with the types and skills of answering questions by doing some simulation questions on the computer. BeyondMCSE Terminator cd2000 includes many simulation software. But the simulated test questions on the computer are simpler than the real questions. Candidates should not focus on doing simulated test questions, but should focus on understanding the basic operating principles.

18. What is the best test order for taking the certification exam?

The basic principle is that it is easy to take the exam first, but difficult to learn it later. Try to pass the exam subjects that can get the certificate of Microsoft Certified Product Expert (MCP) first. Sometimes the order of examination and study are not completely synchronized. Some subjects need to be studied before the exam, and some subjects need to be studied before the exam. Choose the order of examination subjects. Taking the most popular MCSE among Microsoft certified system engineers as an example, it is generally considered that the better examination order is:

70-058: network basics

70-067:NT server

70-073:NT workstation

70-068: NT Server in Enterprise

70-059:TCP/IP4.0

70-087:IIS4.0

19. When can I get the corresponding MCP certificate after passing all the exams of an MCP certification?

If you have passed all the exams required for an MCP certification, you can't get the MCP certificate issued by Microsoft at that time.
