MCAD: Deliver Solutions With Microsoft Certified Architect Program

If designing and implementing Infrastructure Solutions interest you, Microsoft Certified Architect Program certification awaits you. Highly complex in course contents and review, I recommend this course with professionals with above three years of experience in the field of technology architecture and designing and implementing solutions.

As I mentioned earlier, the course and certification contents of Microsoft Certified Architect Program is extremely complex. When you talk of Infrastructure and Solutions domains, you would know that these domains are complex and require a deep level of understanding and application of skills. Allowing candidates to select either broad-based architecture or technology - specific architecture, once you get certified with MCAP, you are allowed to implement infrastructure solutions and design the architecture for business systems which he specializes in. What should be given due thought is that this certification does not have any examination to be given to get the certification. You would need to present your case to a Review Board. To what I hear, the review board's review is very complex and rigorous. After all, if the customers want to work with the elite, you would need to work hard to get that status.

Microsoft Certified Architecture Program allows you to take the certification in any one of these specific domains:

  • Infrastructure
  • Solutions
  • Messaging
  • Database
As earlier said, this program require you to possess three years of domain- specific experience. Not only that, you would also need to have an overall experience of ten years in the IT industry.

If other certification was on how you need to prepare for the course and the examinations, to get the Microsoft Certified Architect Program certification, you would need to prepare extensively and exhaustively for the Review Board interview. The review board interview panel comprises of experts in the field of Infrastructure and Solutions and will put all your skills and knowledge to the hammer.

Small things like presentation of your resume, your presentation and communication skills play a very important part in you getting the MCAP Certification. Assisting you with this effort is all the online resources provided my Microsoft. My suggestions is, all the online resource added with your skills and knowledge are more than enough for you to get the MCAP certification. Of course, most of it would also rely on the review board interview. Just one word of caution though. Do not prepare for the review board interview as if it is any other interview. Your domain-specific skills and knowledge will be the most important thing which will help you carry forward in the interview.

But if you have everything with you. In all likelihood, you will have everything going for you.
