Why get certified?
When you receive a Microsoft Certification, you’ll gain advanced,
market-relevant skills that are recognised and respected by managers
all over the world, as well as the chance to connect with a global
community of other certified professionals.
The Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS) certifications
are the initial foundations to becoming Microsoft Certified, designed
to validate your skills on the features and functionality of key
technologies. You can show your depth of knowledge in one specific
technology, earn multiple MCTS certifications to show breadth across
different products, or build on the MCTS to earn a Professional Series
credential.
Those who gain an MCTS certification will be capable of
implementing, configuring, designing and troubleshooting a particular
Microsoft technology such as Office, Visual Studio or Windows Server.
Benefits
Earning a Microsoft Certification validates your knowledge and
experience in using Microsoft products and solutions. While being
relevant in today’s ever-changing IT environment, Microsoft
Certifications also help you fully utilise evolving technologies,
sharpen your troubleshooting skills, and increase your job satisfaction.
Becoming Microsoft certified has financial benefits too. A recent
survey conducted by Redmond indicated that 43% of Microsoft Certified
individuals had received a pay rise due to their certification.
In addition, as a Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP), you can
network and collaborate with certified professionals from around the
world. This can be done via Microsoft-sponsored events and local users
groups, or the private MCP-member website to find technical help,
certification tips, and career resources.
