We'd like to hear it, per George's post: http://blogs.msdn.com/mcp/archive/2008en-USTelligent Evolution Platform Developer Build (Build: 5.6.50428.7875)http://blogs.msdn.com/b/trika/archive/2008/02/05/certification-slash-cats-we-hope-are-ok.aspx#7661884Wed, 13 Feb 2008 06:36:02 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:7661884trikah@microsoft.com<p>Hi, Niall. Congratulations - sounds like your new job has lots of responsibility! It sounds to me like you are on the right track (if you will), starting everyone on an MCTS and then taking it from there. For certain, getting your developers to complete 70-536 is the first step, as that is requirement for the current and upcoming certifications. Send me an e-mail if you have specific questions on how to manage the planning... maybe there are best practices we can get from other people on planning/tracking a team's certifications.</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=7661884" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.msdn.com/b/trika/archive/2008/02/05/certification-slash-cats-we-hope-are-ok.aspx#7604733Mon, 11 Feb 2008 11:10:02 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:7604733Niall<p>Hi Trika</p> <p>Any advice for someone who has taken over the certification requirements for 16 people? One of my new job roles, is recommending training and certification tracks for each of the devs on the team. Most of the devs will be brought up to MCTS on the .NET 2.0 track with a look at getting MCPD in their chosen field. </p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=7604733" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.msdn.com/b/trika/archive/2008/02/05/certification-slash-cats-we-hope-are-ok.aspx#7601060Mon, 11 Feb 2008 08:07:18 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:7601060trikah@microsoft.com<p>Bibble, good point.
