Getting Trained for Microsoft Certified Master Certification

28 Sep

certified-masterMaster certification offered by Microsoft helps enables senior-level IT professionals to endorse and demonstrate their technical expertise on Microsoft server products. By having any one of the Master level certifications, senior IT professionals can distinguish themselves from others besides being able to attract prospective employers and clients. Microsoft has made Master certification an essential prerequisite for all Microsoft Certified Architect (MCA) certifications.

Microsoft has launched five Master-level certifications. Each of them is meant to broaden and deepen the technical skills of accomplished IT professionals. The five certifications include Microsoft Certified Master: Microsoft Exchange Server 2007, Microsoft Certified Master: Microsoft SQL Server 2008, Microsoft Certified Master: Windows Server 2008: Directory, Microsoft Certified Master: Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, and Microsoft Certified Master: Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007.

There are a few basic requirements that will qualify you for Microsoft Certified Master. Candidates who wish to have this certification need to be highly skilled and technically sound experts in their respective discipline besides having several years of experience in designing, deploying, and administering solutions by employing Microsoft technology across a range of platforms. For becoming eligible for Master certification, you must already be a Microsoft Certified Professional (with a Microsoft Certification ID) or you need to be an eligible Microsoft employee. However, the specific technology requirements differ from one platform to another. To secure the Master Certification, you need to attend the minimum required number of sections totalling to three weeks. You must successfully complete all the in-class (both written and practical) exams (totalling up to three exams). Finally, you need to successfully pass a qualifying lab (practical) examination.

Any successful and effective training for Microsoft Master needs to feature a sound, up to date and experience-based curriculum that is systematically developed on a foundation of expert-level classroom training and practical labs. Some reputed organisations on the internet offer this curriculum which is prepared and presented by instructors working with Microsoft and Microsoft global network partners who enjoy an accomplished expertise in their respective discipline. The instructors of these training programmes effectively draw upon their hands-on experience to help the students acquire the necessary skills that they can apply in real-world customer scenarios.

At the End, I’d like to share cool certification tutorials to prepare yourself for final exams by making use of these products.
