During a Tech-Ed session yesterday, Microsoft announced a new advanced certification: the Microsoft Certified Master Certification.
The MCM will be offered for Exchange Server 2007, SQL Server 2008, and Windows Server 2008 and the training is scheduled to begin in the third quarter of 2008.
The new MCM is one step up from the Professional series of certifications but still below the Architect certification series, filling the apparent gap between the MCP and MCA certification tracks.
According to Microsoft, candidates for the MCM must be current Microsoft Certified Professionals (with a Microsoft Certification ID) or eligible Microsoft employees.
They must also be "highly skilled technical experts in their discipline with several years of experience designing, deploying, and managing solutions by using Microsoft technology."
Are you ready to take your Microsoft certs to the next level?
Here’s what Microsoft has to say about the MCM certifications:
"Master certification enables senior IT professionals to demonstrate and validate their technical expertise on Microsoft server products and authoritatively differentiate themselves to prospective employers and customers."
The advanced training for the certification will include 300-level and 400-level classroom training that will be a mixture of presentations, white board discussions, and goal-based labs — all taught by expert instructors, of course. The training sessions are scheduled to last three weeks and registration will begin sometime next month.
