MCP

Hi All,

I'm a month away from taking a MCP 70-290, and i was wondering, when i pass (if..) is there anything i get from Microsoft to say i have passed? Someone was mentioning a credit card sized card but i wasnt sure if that was just for the MCSE?

Can anyone shed any light on the subject...

Thanks

You'll get a certificate and a little wallet card. I'm not 100% but you also get a little lapel pin (no one actually wears them though) and I think that they still give you access to the logos. You do get something.

I think they discontinued the lapel pins.

I got one of the new "kits" recently. I think a "kit" is just a fancy word for a "do not bend" package with your MCP certificate.

Just know that after you pass, you have to go to the website a week later and request the kit be sent, it is not automatic.

The wallet card is neat. I got another after MCDST, so it seems that one card will have all your certs on it.

No lapel pin

So my pin is worth money now right? ^_ ^ I better quit playing with the magnet then cause I'm stripping the coating off of it. lol

Unfortunatley my MCSE pin's magnet fell off the day I received it The only benefit is that the magnets are strong and my 7 year old boy loves them.. i.e very small but strong magnets.

I guess I will have to walk around with the MCP pin on instead. WHAT YOU GUYS DONT WEAR THEM !!!

At my previous job a couple of years ago we had the metal, modular style cabinets and drawers. I used to group all of magnets together and throw them at doors and let them stick. You could hear it all over the floor; a loud 'clink' as it hit and stuck to the door. Needless to say, the chrome covering is gone on mine.

Thanks guys, look forward to my wallet card, some ballons and maybe some cash would be better, but hey, nevermind
