MS Office MCP Certifications...Anyone taken any of these?

[fonzinator]

While I try to find a more permanent job, I'm working for a staffing firm. They are offering MCP Certs for Access, Word, Powerpoint, and Excel for free. I figure I'll taken them all for the heck of it. Anyone taken these?? Any advice on how to prepare for the tests?

Last time I checked it wasn't an MCP..it was a MOUS. I haven't checked, so I could be wrong.

MCP are os / server certs not office specific products.

yeah, MCP (Microsuck Certified Professional) is just one test. MCSE (Microsuck Certified Systems Engineer) is 6 or 7 IIRC.

I have to disagree with that statement. I have seen several job listings that require and MCSE just to be interviewed.


How worthless is that, without them you don't even have a chance at the job. It doesn't matter what kind of experience you have if they require it.

It may be useless, just not worthless.

I got an MCP back in the NT 4 Server days. Never bothered to take any more of the tests.

Also have a CNE in Netware 3.12.. with that and $1.50, I can get a cup of coffee 😉

i've heard the MOS is not something to be taking lightly. just as hard if not harder than mcse tests like 70-216
