More Info on the Microsoft Certified Master Certification (MCM)

A little more info is coming out about the new Microsoft Certified Master Certification (MCM). Prerequisites to even get into the Server 2008 MCM program are:

  • An MCSE on Server 2000 or Server 2003 -or- an MCITP: Enterprise Admin in Server 2008
  • Exam 70-219: Designing a Microsoft Windows 2000 Directory Services Infrastructure -or- Exam 70-297: Designing a Windows Server 2003 Active Directory and Network Infrastructure

Prerequisites for other MCM programs (SQL 2008, Exchange 2008) vary.

Once you've got the pre-requisites, the actual training is a three-week course. Actually, its referred to as "the most in-depth and comprehensive three week course available today". Yikes. Now, there's some major studying! I'm also reading that MCM certification is now one of the prerequisites for the Microsoft Certified Architect (MCA) cert as well.

Registration is expected to start this month, with the first classes being scheduled in Q3 of 2008. See http://www.microsoft.com/learning/mcp/master/default.mspx for more info.
