Evolution after MCTS

Hi all,

I'm a bit new here on these forums, and I'm sure that you guys can help me
with some questions I have about the dotnet certifications.
At the moment I have an MCTS in
..Net Framework 2.0: Windows Applications and
..Net Framework 2.0: Web Applications (just got it 2 days ago)

Now I thought that there was a next step, like MCAD, certified application
developer, but it seems that this type is for the 1.1 framework.
I would want to evolve to a higher level of course, but I can't really find
if that is possible. I've done the following exams:

528 TS: Microsoft® .NET Framework 2.0 - Web-based Client
Development
536 TS: Microsoft® .NET Framework 2.0 - Application Development
Foundation
526 TS: Microsoft® .NET Framework 2.0 - Windows®-based Client
Development

Are there any higher level dotnet exams, or good architect exams?
Can anybody put me on the way?

Tnx!

Greetz,

Koen

 

The "next step" in the .NET Framework v2.0 realm is the MCPD (Microsoft
Certified Professional Developer).

Having completed the -536, -526, and -528, you have three different pathways
to go:

MCPD: Windows Developer by taking exam -548
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/exams/70-548.mspx

MCPD: Web Developer by taking exam -547
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/exams/70-547.asp

or
MCPD: Enterprise Applications Developer by taking exams -529 and -549

http://www.microsoft.com/learning/exams/70-549.mspx
