Training Center and MSCD

Hi,
I have been working in .Net for more than a year. How does
Microsoft Authorized Training Center help to get MCSD/MCP
centificate?

Is it necessary to join such courses for certifaction?
Does my test score improve by these training?

Please let me know, if Microsoft Press has good training
material for same purpose.

To the best of my knowledge, you do not need to take
courses to become certified. You just need to pass the
exams.

But don't take it from me. Go to
www.microsoft.com/traincert and get the official
information.

As far as MS Press is concerned: They do publish a series
of books that (purportedly) pertain to the subject matter
of each of the certification exams. If you read some of
the various postings on this board, you will get the
benefits of varying viewpoints as to how helpful these
books are. I think you will also find a consensus of
opinion that the study guides offerred by other publishers
are more effective.

Good Luck

no courses needed, even if it's a *little* bit easier to
pass the test after having taken courses.

your score will be the one that you gain the day you pass
the exam. no cheat, no bonuses.

you'll just have to pay for it though !

good luck.
