MCTS Certification for VB 6.0

Is there any certification for VB 6.0 ? If not,what are the other
certifications one can go for ? Will 70-536 certification be useful in this
case , considering I am a beginner in C#.net and VB.net and a VB 6.0
developer with 2 years of experience ?

Thanks in advance.

Expecting some feedback guys!!

<sigh>.. okay...

Have you tried looking on the Microsoft Learning website?

http://www.microsoft.com/learning

Short answer: There are no available certifications for products that many
versions old.

Same site. Same answers.

70-536 is required for any developer certification; it's rather pointless
whether you think it will be "useful" or not, but to answer the question
anyway, I guess that depends on whether you intend to market yourself as a
VB6 programmer for the rest of your life, or you intend to learn the .NET
Framework API/Library at some point. The 70-536 will be indispensable in the
process of learning anything about .NET, and absolutely required -- since my
assumption is that you are interested in certification -- you just don't
know what's available (or how to find it).

Hi Lawrence,

Thanks for your reply.I do know where to look for certifications.But I did
not find any certifications for VB 6.0 and just wanted to make sure regarding
the same.I do understand that 70 - 536 is a certification for .Net framework
foundation.I basically wanted to know if this certification is in the right
direction , considering that currently I am on VB 6.0 and do intend to move
to .Net,since VB 6.0 has become outdated.

Regards,
Vivek Gupta
