Windows Vista Certification
The new Microsoft certification program is designed to emphasize both the
primary technology skill set and the job role of the individual. By focusing on
core technical or professional skills, individuals can work toward a
certification that meets their needs.
The program provides shorter certification paths that are targeted to
specific job roles or technologies, so individuals can more quickly acquire
relevant credentials to prove their expertise. Additionally, organizations can
quickly ensure that IT professionals have the best skills for their projects.
These shorter certification paths are also more cost-effective.
The new framework makes it easier for managers to distinguish candidates that
meet specific job criteria. Fewer credentials and logos make it easier to
understand qualifications while still offering the level of distinction that is
needed to use certification as a recruiting tool.
