Where's my certificate!!!???

roninmagik1 · September 2005

Hi everyone, i passed the 70-270 on Wednesday, it's Saturday now, and i have received no email or anything from microsoft recognizing that i passed! Of course i have the paper they gave me after the test with my score and everything, but i am anxious to get my mcp id number so i can log on to the microsoft mcp site and check it out, i'm also anxious to get the certificate from microsoft, i think i'm gonna frame it!!!

So to anyone out there who got their mcp, how long did it take before you got anything from microsoft? Also, did you guys/gals frame your mcp, what type of a frame? I'm looking around for a cool frame w/ a computer type dsign, maybe motherboard circuits or something! Thanks for any replies in advance, Jason!

Hmmmmm, come on memory, work man.....its been over 4 years, so I may be wrong.....but I think it was at least a month before I got my MCP welcome kit, which has the cert, pin, paperwork, all that good stuff.

Framing certs, I did for my certs up to the point when my "I love me" wall began looking really tacky, mostly because you couldnt see a wall anymore

I just get the certs and file them away now. Only thing I have displayed are my college diplomas.

But for sure be proud of what you did and hang that sucker up, Im more of a classful guy myself, so I just used black/gold border frames.

You need to create a profile on the mcp site. In there you can request that you cert to be sent to you. When that is done, you will be given a MCP id to which you can track your cert or simply send an email to mcphelp@microsoft.com. You can login into the mcp site with your passport profile.

All of my (few) certs are in (cheap) frames that I bought at Walmart. You can't beat a $3.00 frame crafted by $3.00/day Chinese labor.

Yep, I waited like two weeks and no email from microsoft. What I did was create acount at the MCP site and then emailed mcphelp@microsoft.com stating that I passed on this date, at this location, and all other information of that paper. They emailed me a few days later and provided me with my ID number.

Then I went back to the MCP member site and logged in with my MCP ID number and signed up for them to ship me my welcome kit. Which I just got a few weeks back. All in all I think it took me close to two months for me to get my welcome kit. I am now happy and got my MCP ID and card.

Good Luck

Thanks for the tips everyone, if its taken as long as a mongth for some people, then i'm not going to stress out, hehe, "the cert is in the mail", :P , i emailed them anyhow, because i do want to know what my microsoft MCP ID is going to be, i take the 70-290 on the 30th, and i want to make sure that all the tests get linked to the same id.

mcp link site is

https://mcp.microsoft.com/Authenticate/Migrate/Migrate.aspx?ReturnUrl=https://mcp.microsoft.com/mcp/default.aspx?

hi roninmagik1 just a quick question for you off topic
Im going to be doing my 70-290 soon i too have recently passed my 70-270 , i was just wondering is there alot of the same material in the 70-290 ,

cheers

It's funny you should ask that, but i was doing a quick study session with the transcender, and I found that the transcender questions for the 70-290 were similiar to the 70-270!! I hear that the 290 is WAAAY tougher than the 270 though, so i'm sure the difficulty or complexity level of the questions on the 290 will be alot higher!

Where's my certificate!!!???
