MCP certificate on MS website

rimvydazas

I was about to download my certificate for MCP from microsoft, but it's not there! The only one available is MCTS. I do have logos created for MCP and MCTS, but still only MCTS certificate. Is MCP certificate available for download at all ?
Thanks

Not that I've been able to find. I tried seeing if I could get my MCSE certificate on there a while back. Unless someone has had luck otherwise, I'm going to have to say that it's just the newer Certificates on there.

That sucks! does anyone know if they are available by mail? It really doesn't make sense not to put them online...

The MCP certificates are only available by mail. You have to request the "welcome kit" to get each MCP certificate.

I found that as well googling around. It's so sad that I can't hand it on the wall in my job right away

I've got 5 MS certificates hanging on my wall at work, the problem is that all of them look very similar, I wouldn't be surprised if people walked past my office and thought I just scanned the same certificate a couple times and put it up on my wall.

Did you request a welcome kit each time you passed an exam???

I thought there was just 1 MCP certificate regardles of how many MCP exams you have passed and the next certificate comes with MCSA and another with MCSE?

I'm pretty sure that's how it works. If you check his cert list, he has an MCP, two MCSAs, and two MCSEs.

That's right. You get only 1 MCP certificate, and then you get 1 certificate for each new Level of Certification. I have my MCSA in both 2000 and 2003 and my MCSE in both 2000 and 2003. Each time I was eligible for a new Welcome Kit, I had to request it by through the MCP site.
