Mike-Mike

I did not see any postings about these new Microsoft certs:

Microsoft Technology Associate (MTA) Certifications - Computer Science Teacher - Thoughts and Information from Alfred Thompson - Site Home - MSDN Blogs

official page:

Microsoft Technology Associate


any thoughts? sorry if I missed it somewhere else, I did a search for MTA and it came up with nothing

There has been a mention or 2 on here I've seen. This forum is so busy that it' hard to find stuff sometime. MTA certs are entry level certs that not a lot of people here would probably recommend.

I actually would (& do) recommend them, maybe not to the experience IT Pro. But to the entry level and newly employed IT staff.

I must have reading too many Linux/Unix books, my first thought: 'MTA? What does a Mail Transfer Agent have to do with Certifications?!'

I actually would for the newcomer just as I recommend the CompTIA 3 for newcomers. They wont carry a lot of weight on a resume though.

IMO MCSE or MCITP can be achieved by beginners too if they put effort and study into it so why bother the money and the effort for entry level certs ?.

I know that they say you should have at least one year of work with windows before you can study for them but who doesn't ?
