Microsoft MCSE Certification for Windows 2003
(Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer)

CBT Direct now offers numerous ways to become a Microsoft Certified System Engineer (MCSE). But first, why is becoming an MCSE so important and what's the best way for you to get certified?

The Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE) credential is the premier certification for professionals who analyze business requirements, design and implement the infrastructure for business solutions based upon the Microsoft Windows 2000/XP platform and Microsoft Windows Server Systems. It is directed toward someone who has the implementation responsibilities, including installing, configuring, and troubleshooting network systems.

The MCSE certification is appropriate for:
  • Systems Engineers
  • Technical Support Engineers
  • Systems Analysts
  • Network Analysts
  • Technical Consultants

For people seeking career growth, with a desire to move up and out of their current positions, MCSE certification can provide part of the roadmap to IT Career success or may even be considered a requirement for advancement.

Junior and entry-level administrators and technical support professionals see the MCSE certification as a growth path, a way to become even smarter about technology, and a way to earn recognition throughout the industry. Some people use the MCSE exams as a resource to brush up on topics and practices with which they are currently familiar, but they may also want more in-depth knowledge. Studying for MCSE certification is the answer. For example, someone who works at the help desk and who resolves configuration errors already understands Windows settings and terms. Preparing for the MCSE test will require him/her to become even more knowledgeable about his/her area of expertise, resulting in greater benefit to both the individual and to the firm.

More and more senior IT professionals are also seeking MCSE certification. For those who already hold an academic degree in Computer Science, this is a positive addition to their portfolio. For those who do not have an academic degree, but who have served in technical support, consulting, and management roles involving various systems and technologies, the MCSE certification is a way to not only improve their skills, it can lend their skills set an even greater legitimacy. As more companies view MCSE certification as a necessity, and not just as a positive attribute, the MCSE is becoming increasingly important.

What are employers saying about hiring someone with an MCSE Certification?

MCSE Certified professionals give the organization a definitive, competitive advantage. They can help to increase customer satisfaction, reduce network downtime, and push service to a higher level. And, that all translates into an excellent return on investment.
