Microsoft Certification
Get the respect, recognition, and rewards you deserve - get certified!
Becoming Microsoft Certified gives you the opportunity to validate your skills, connect with the Microsoft Certified Professional community, and learn about the latest Microsoft technologies. Certifications can also help fulfill Partner Competency requirements.
As a benefit of attending Tech·Ed 2009, you will receive an exclusive voucher that allows you to take any Microsoft Professional Certification exam for 50% off the standard price (for example $125USD). Better yet, when you attend any certification (CRT) session, stop by the Microsoft Learning station in the Technical Learning Center, or speak with a Microsoft Certified Trainer in the Community Lounge, you can upgrade your voucher for a special coupon - you pay only $25USD to take an exam!
Although certification testing is not being offered on site this year, there are plenty of resources available at Tech·Ed to help you get ready for your exams. Check the Schedule Builder for times and locations, and find out how our Technical Tracks align to certifications and Partner Competencies by reviewing our Track Map.
