| Benefits of MCSE Certification
(Win 2003) Certification Training |
| |
 |
 Individuals:
|
- Overwhelmingly, individuals with Microsoft certifications
have an advanced level of knowledge, expertise and skill,
and command more professional credibility.
- The MCSE is seen as a particularly elite indication of
an engineer’s prowess and skill level, and these professionals
are highly sought by employers.
- According to Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP) Magazines
salary survey, the average base salary for MCSEs certified
on Windows NT 4.0 is $62,700. MCSEs certified on Windows
2000 earned $67,100 on average - a $4,400 difference. The
obvious reason for the gap is that there are fewer Win2K
MCSEs out there, so those holding that skill set are in
higher demand and, therefore, better compensated.
- Individual students may receive college credits
to utilize tuition reimbursement programs for their IT training
or to complete college coursework.

Companies: |
- Reduce the costs of maintaining your workstations
and personal computers, and increase the reliability of
your network with Microsoft Windows® 2003 Active Directory™—and
with the information technology (IT) professionals to back
it up.
- Make a roll out of Windows 2000 Server smooth and successful.
- IDC asked more than 500 Microsoft Certified Partners
and Value–Added Provider Partners what was the greatest
benefit from a business perspective of having MCSEs trained
on Windows 2003. Eighty percent responded with shorter time
to deploy Windows 2003, lower implementation risk, or an
increased sales hit rate.
- Customers see great value in certification - they want
the people on their engagement to have the best skills,
and certification provides that proof point.

Human Resources: |
- Employer-funded training and certification programs are
a key to retaining skilled IT staff. Career development
and advancement opportunities are shown to significantly
reduce rates of employee turnover.
- Certification Training Programs provide benchmarks for
hiring and promotion decisions by accurately assessing technical
skills.
- For-certification training programs maximize educational
investments through immediate validation of skills.
