Microsoft Certifications- Mcse And Mcts Or Mcitp

http://www.microsoft.com/learning/mcp/mcitp/default.mspx

Am about to start for MCSE 2003 I just discovered from Microsoft web site that there in another certifications Microsoft Certified Technologies Specialist (MCTS) and Microsoft Certified IT Professional (MCITP) which replace MCSE 2008.
Though, MCSE 2003 exams still exist which I have Materials for. Now I don't know whether to continue with MCSE 2003 with my materials or wait for the MCTS ( I have ebook for Window Vista which is one of the MCTS)and MCITP?
I need your Adevice

@Ralvy
Any MCSE exam center in Nigeria should be able to offer MCTS and MCITP. maybe they were not current with the Microsoft Certifications.

Thank for your advice.

Any Prometric or VUE centers in Nigeria are able to deliver MCTS and MCITP exams. An authorised test center have already gone through the necessary requirements to deliver certification exams (mainly through a business prequalification)on behalf of either prometric or vue and have no need to have any staff certified for a particular exam before they are able to deliver these. Once a new exam on a new delivery platform comes out, test centeres are normally required to upgrade their hardware (where required) to meet the delivery requirements of the new exams,  For example when Cisco introduced simulation in their exams some years back, prometric test centers then were required to upgrade their CPU, RAM and screen size to a designated specification before they were able to deliver the specific simulation-based Cisco exams.

Check www.prometric.com and www.vue.com for list of test centers in Nigeria.


I'll suggest you take the certs that correlate with the technology you currently work with or have been studying. Either of both are ok as MCSE is still very much relevant and employers would still be demanding these for a while to come. Regards.

i once had and still hav d same problem until now the answer has been posted write mcse 2k3 now and upgrade later
or wait for mcts or mcitp to settle in nigeria

Hi guys. I work with a training institute and you can write any of those exams wit us, but we do not have an instructor for that mcts n mcitp. We do have one for MCSE. The instructor was once an administrator and instructor for aptech. he is good. you can reach me on akannitaoheed@yahoo.com or akanni@switchlinkng.com or call 07063496806 for more enquiries please.

you can write any exam in any accredted centre. Write the mcse and do an upgrade exam and know you are all round qualified.

If u going to take your mcts. Pls share your experience with us; study materials u used, where your training centre located, when u take the exam and outcome of exam with us.
