MCITP Qualification

[Kitkatninja]

For what it's worth I've started with 70-640. Does anybody know how long we have between taking exams? If I pass 70-640 I'll have an MCP, I am right in thinking I can do each MCP one at a time over a period of months (closer to a year probably) and then claim for the MCITP once I've passed the final MCP in a year or so's time?

 

You can take them all in one week if you want but you can't retake one within 2 weeks of not passing I think. Once you have all of the modules for a cert it will automatically be added to your transcript on the MCP site. You'll be an MCP after passing your first cert.

 

You won't be a MCP if you pass the 70-640 (or any of the new Gen exams), you'll be a MCTS. However you'll be part of the MCP program. You'll only gain the MCP credential if you pass one of the old gen exams.

Just to be clear, sorry me being a bit thick, but I actually want to take as long as possible doing this - not in any rush. So I just want to be certain their are no time limits between certs. If I pass 1 cert I don't have to do the exams for the over carts within 1 week or 3 months or anything silly like that in order to get the MCITP?

 

 

The certs are available for as long as the product is in mainstream support.

 

 

Q. How long will the certification be valid?

 

A.

For our newest credentials, such as Microsoft Certified Technical Specialist (MCTS), Microsoft Certified IT Professional (MCITP), and Microsoft Certified Professional Developer (MCPD), the credential retires along with the product support for the technology being tested. The credential will still appear on your transcript but will be listed as retired. In most cases, an upgrade path (usually one exam) will be available for individuals who have that credential so that they can demonstrate their skills on the newest version of the technology without completing all exams associated with the new credential.

 

The legacy Microsoft credentials, such as Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE) and Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator (MCSA) do not expire, but as Microsoft releases new versions of the associated technology, these credentials are likely to be valued less by the industry.
