Hi,

I have exposure to developing both WinForm 2.0, ASP.NET 2.0 using C# 2.0 and
I'm working on DOT NET 2.

As I don't have any technical degree, I want to obtain microsoft
certification on .NET platform. I'm confused which one should I opt MCTS or
MCPD.

Please suggest what could be better?

Thanks!

You can't get an MCPD without first getting an MCTS.
The MCTS consists of:
- for Web: 70-528 and 70-536
- for Windows: 70-526 and 70-536
- for Enterprise: 70-529 and 70-536
The MCPD consists of:
- for Web: 70-528, 70-536, and 70-547
- for Windows: 70-526, 70-536, and 70-548
- for Enterprise: 70-526, 70-528, 70-529, 70-536, and 70-549
I would recommend taking the 70-536 exam first, if you are not sure of what
specialization you want. However, the 70-536 by itself will not give you a
certification, whereas taking the 70-52x exam will make you a Microsoft
Certified Professional.
Best wishes in your certification studies.

If you get the MCTS and then get the last test to get a MCPD does that give
you two certs or just one?
