You can write the exams but they won't give your any designation. You will need to complete the MCSA exams eventually before you will be granted the MCSE.

Don't think so either, they're just part of the Communication MSCE

MCP is a generic designation you get my passing any Microsoft exam. It's not product specific. -

While it doesn't give you any specific designation, it is valuable to employers that are MS Partners, and it does express some level of competency with the product.2025 Renew: [ ] AZ-204 [ ] AZ-305 [ ] AZ-400 [ ] AZ-500 [ ] AI-900
