MCAD Question

is the official title of this mcad certification:
MCAD for Microsoft .NET Certification or just MCAD
Certification?

Hi Jody,

From http://www.microsoft.com/learning/mcp/mcad/compare.asp, it looks like
it's "MCAD for Microsoft .NET ."

 

Or simply you can just put MCAD.Net next to your name.

Rgds,

http://www.microsoft.com/learning/mcp/mcad/compare.asp, it
looks like

 

But as there is only one MCAD what else could it be
but .NET ?

If you read the guidlines then once you attain MCSD then
that is the only cert you should display, not MCAD as
well ! MCAD is a stepping stone qualification for those
who may not be solution architects but still develop
applications.

 

MCSD.NET and MCAD.NET are NOT legal name suffixes. Legally
you are only allowed to put certain suffixes against your
name, such as BSc for a degree, phD, etc.

Putting an illegal suffix against your name is as bad as
using an illegal prefix, like Prof, or Dr.

Don't do it!!!!

Ultimately, we're not representing anything legal like a license to
"practice" IT; we're just providing more information about ourselves.

I've never heard any type of "rules" about what's legal or not other than in
some states you can't have a job title such as Software Engineer since
engineer is reserved for licensed engineers (PE in my state.) Also, in some
states licensed therapists and social workers are _required_ to include the
alphabet soop after their names.

Can you point to a web resource that tells what's "legal" and what's not?

 

but you can put it on your business card as a mark of skill.
then it is not a name suffix.

besides, i can call myself a senior vice duke of engineering if i want to.

kind regards,
Bruno.

 

there is MCAD to indicate that you got your certs in VS6, and there is MCAD
..NET to indicate that you got your skills in VS .NET.

kind regards,
Bruno.

 

In news: ,

Um, I assume that's a typo and you meant MCSD for VS6. MCAD is new for
VS.NET.

Internally, we know that MCSD should be also MCAD, and a
MCT should have get one of this credentials MCSD,MCDBA or
MCSE.

But remember, this is just to show what certifications
have earned for that MCP.

It was no typo. i knew about MCSD for VS6, and i thought MCAD existed as
well.
seems i was wrong.
(that is known to happen from time to time. especially if you are married,
then you are wrong more often than not )
