-
i have heard friends having mcp certificates after working for only a few days. they download some books from the internet, gets quick answers of the questions to be asked. that degrades ms's certificates value, i believe. cisco certificates are seen more valuable here. cıssp even more valuable, although only a few might have heard of it. and there is this brainbench thing which i had heard about at university. and what is this mvp thing ? most valuable professional ? nothing i believe.

Well the MCP is after passing only 1 exam. And yes some people cheat and get the questions that some person braindumped after an exam. This of course is in violation of the NDA that was agreed to before taking the exam, but that does not stop some people. Alot of people had gotten a "paper" MCSE and that certification has lost alot of credentials over the years. That is probably one reason Microsoft keeps putting out new certs and new exams (besides to get more money). cisco certs would be valuable if you had cisco equipment, but a MCSE is valuable if you use Microsoft operating systems. It all depends on where you are working to say if its valuable or not. MVP is not related to the certification program AFAIK. It is a designation from Microsoft to distinguish individuals that have really supported a particular field, such as C#, .NET, etc. There are some benefits to being a MVP, and a quick search on microsoft.com might show those.

I have an MCSD and I worked hard to get it. Anyone that posts the answers should be procecuted IMO. Nice Özgürce wrote: and what is this mvp thing ? most valuable professional ? nothing i believe. You can choose to believe what you like. MVPs are people that have shown exceptional knowledge and are willing to share that with the community as a whole. IIRC, MVPs are nominated and you cannot apply to be one.
