Microsoft MCP?

Is this one certificate? Because I am seeing on many employers' recruiting ads that they require A+, Net+, and an MCP. A lot even list MCSE. Microsoft certifications seem really ambiguous and confusing to me. I read on Microsoft's site that both the MCITP and MCSE have been discontinued but what certifications have taken their places? I'm not looking to become an MCT since I'm not looking to actually train anyone and that seems what that certification is aimed for.

The MCP was prior to windows vista. The MCts is the equivalent to the MCP now. Passing the new microsoft certs makes you a MCTS.WGU Progress: Progress | Completed | Start Date: 9/1/2012 B.S. Network Management & Design

Passing any Microsoft exam, (save for some select Office and student-focused test,) makes you a Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP). You get an MCP ID number and are able to log into the MCP site to see and publish your credentials. It's legacy, but it's still in effect today. Passing exams explicitly marked as MCTS will earn you the Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS) title on that technology.

MCP (Microsoft Certified Professional) is also given to candidates that pass MS certification exams. If I recall correctly anyone that passes a professional level MS exam is automatically a MCP.
Edit: Slowhand was faster.
