Wednesday, August 08, 2007Number of Microsoft Certified Professionals Worldwide
I stumbled across this interesting page at the Microsoft MCP site (MS passport required, and maybe also an MCP(?)), listing the Number of Microsoft Certified Professionals Worldwide and mentioned to Rob Farley who has much to do with Microsoft certification and training, especially but not limited to all things SQL Server (he's a trainer at Solid Quality Learning). Check this out; there are only 71 people (as of 27th June 2007) with the MCITP: BI certification. If you have already passed 70-431, you just need to pass two exams (70-445 and 70-446) in order to join this exclusive bunch. I might check out what learning resources are available and post them later. Given the amount of work available in this area, I'd be surprised if it stays at 71 for long...
