Six Steps to Certification
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/mcp/sixsteps.asp

My understanding is that you can take the exams around the world,
at either Pearson Vue or Prometric testing centers.

Once you've completed an exam, the testing center automatically
forwards your test score to Microsoft. As soon as you pass any
Microsoft exam, you achieve MCP status. Once you've passed all the
required exams, you are certified.

Good Luck.
