MCT Microsoft Certified Teacher (MicrosoftCertifiedTrainer)

3. Is there a difference between the representation methods of MCP and MCPS?

In the current Microsoft certification expert system, there is no MCPS at all, so the difference between the two is also There is no way to talk about it. If MCP is defined more accurately, it should include two levels of meaning: from a high level, MCP is the general name of the entire Microsoft Certified Professional system and is the representative name of all 8 certification projects; from a low level, MCP is The name of Microsoft Certified Product Expert. Microsoft Certified Product Expert is a certification in the Microsoft Certified Expert system and is also the most junior certification. Under normal circumstances, MCP refers to the entire Microsoft Certified Professional system and refers to all 8 MCP certified experts.

4. How to become an MCP expert?

To become an MCP expert, you must pass one or more advanced computer technician certification exams launched by Microsoft. This is the so-called MCP exam. Of the 8 MCP certifications listed above, 7 can be completed through self-study or seeking relevant course training at a local Microsoft authorized training center (CTEC, Microsoft Certified Technical Education Center); to obtain MCT certification, in addition to In addition to obtaining one of the above-mentioned MCP certification examinations, you must also pass more stringent related examinations. Generally, only formal teachers of CTEC can apply. Once you pass a series of MCP expert certification exams, you will get an MCP certificate issued by Microsoft and signed by Bill Gates. Currently, 90 countries around the world recognize MCP certification qualifications.

5. What is the organizational form of the Microsoft MCP exam?

The creation of the MCP certification system and the design of test questions were carried out by Microsoft, but the implementation of the specific certification exams was operated by two independent companies. The two companies are Sylvan Prometric and Virtual University Enterprises in the United States. Sylven has more than 1,400 testing centers (APTC, Authorized Prometric Testing Center) around the world, responsible for specific MCP examination services in various places. Although Microsoft does not specifically organize and implement the exam, the company will automatically record the results of every candidate as long as they register for the exam and take the exam for the first time.

6. Is anyone eligible to take the MCP exam?

In principle, anyone who is willing can take the exam in accordance with the MCP exam regulations. Since the MCP exam is a series of tests for senior computer software talents, passing the MCP exam is of particular significance to those who are already working in the IT industry or intend to join the army of IT industry technicians. Because the MCP certificate not only marks your computer software technical strength, it allows you to enjoy high employment opportunities, high salary, and exemption of credits for related studies in the IT industry around the world, but you may also enjoy a series of special benefits that are conducive to professional development. discount.

7. Are there any academic requirements for obtaining MCP certification?

No. Even if you are not a college student, have never done computer-related work, and have no recommendation from IT industry experts, as long as you pass the corresponding MCP exam, you will obtain the MCP certificate and become an MCP expert recognized by the global IT industry. The only prerequisite is passing the corresponding MCP exam.

8. Does the MCP certification exam have high English proficiency requirements?

At present, most of the subjects in the MCP certification exam are still English.

There are only three Chinese version exam subjects in mainland China, they are: 70-059, 70-067, 70-073. Therefore, unless you only apply to take the Microsoft Certified Product Expert exam (only 1 exam), you always More or less exposure to the English version of the test subjects. Moreover, the Chinese version of the exam subjects are all made by people from Taiwan, China, and many language expression habits are different from those in the mainland. It is not as convenient as using the English version directly. If you don't know English at all, you will have some difficulty taking the test. But from another perspective, the Microsoft Certified Expert exam is after all a professional exam in the computer field. The English it involves has quite professional characteristics. If your English is equivalent to the non-professional English Level 3 level, it will be fine. It doesn't matter if your English is not good. Just memorize more words for the first one or two exams, and you will gradually get used to it later on. The key to taking the exam is to be proficient in English related to computer use and understand the specific corresponding actual operation processes and principles.

9. I graduated with a liberal arts major and want to participate in the MCP certification. Is it eligible?

Anyone is eligible to participate in MCP certification, regardless of age, education level, or major. As long as they pass the Microsoft Certified Professional MCP exam as required, they can obtain the corresponding MCP certificate. According to experts engaged in MCP certification training, they taught an older student about 40 years old who was a mother. Before receiving the training, he knew nothing about computers and did not even know how to turn it on. But after systematic training, I successfully passed the exam and received the certificate. This shows that with correct guidance and hard work, a layman can still pass the MCP exam and obtain the MCP certificate.

10. It is said that obtaining MCP certification will lead to the opportunity to get a high-paying job. What is the average annual salary of MCP? Can you tell me?

In China, experts who have obtained MCP certification Basically, they are engaged in high-tech research work related to software development in the IT industry, and a considerable number of them work in foreign companies. Since most people are not willing to reveal their exact personal income, we can only estimate that the average annual income is around 100,000 yuan. According to relevant data, the average annual income of MCSE in the United States in 1998 was about US$60,000, and the average annual income of MCSD was slightly higher than MCSE. But some industry insiders believe this figure is quite conservative. Because American society attaches great importance to work experience, an individual's annual income varies depending on specific work experience. As a MCSE or MCSD, starting as a newbie with little experience, the minimum annual salary may start at $30,000. However, the salary will increase significantly after 3 months and half a year, and the annual salary can reach 100,000 US dollars after one year. Think about it, after passing 6 exams and getting a certificate, you may get a job with an annual salary of 100,000 US dollars. Isn’t it very cost-effective?

11. In addition to having the opportunity to earn high salaries through MCP certification, Are there any professional benefits?

Passing any MCP certification can bring many professional benefits. At least it can show your customers and colleagues that you have the ability to use and The strong professional knowledge required to support a series of products specially launched by Microsoft will increase your incomparable confidence in your work.

Not only can you stay connected with the global MCP community, but you can also get valuable technical information and services first. Although some MSDN websites currently only have English services, and some countries have not yet opened this site, with the expansion of MCP certification on a global scale, I believe that the areas with MSDN site services will gradually increase;

#Invited to participate in Microsoft Seminars, technical training and related activities organized by the company; ;

#Become a free reader of "Microsoft Expert Certification" (readers outside the United States only need to pay the mail order fee).

"Microsoft Expert Certification" is a publication that specifically describes careers and professional development in the IT industry. It can comprehensively provide the latest technology, economic and social developments related to the IT industry. In addition, Microsoft will also provide MCP certificates, logos, brooches, wallet cards and other iconic items showing MCP identity.

12. If you pass all MCP certifications, will there be more benefits than obtaining a single MCP certification?

If you pass all MCP certifications, in addition to obtaining each MCP certification There is no special preferential treatment other than the benefits you deserve. From a practical perspective. Most people will choose to pass one or more certifications that suit their needs based on the requirements of a specific certification. There is no need to pass all 8 MCP certifications. Some MCP enthusiasts have imagined this scenario: Microsoft experts who have passed all MCP certifications are invited to have a dinner with Bill Gates and his wife at their home. If you are lucky, you may also have the opportunity to arrive in Portland on a private jet escorted by the Guard and watch an NBA professional basketball game with Poe Allen. Of course, these wonderful moments are just a fantasy, but if you really want to become a universal expert on Microsoft products, having all MCP expert certificates may have real value.
