Put Your IT Experience to Work With the Microsoft Certified Architect Program

If you are a veteran of the IT industry with at least ten years of experience or have at significant architectural experience, then you should consider the Microsoft Certified Architect (MCA) certification program. The MCA program is intended for the highest achievers in IT architecture who want to reach the pinnacle of their IT career by joining an elite class of IT experts. As an Microsoft MCA, you will use your proven expertise and leadership skills as a technological architect to design and execute IT solutions for customers.

Obtaining this level of professional Microsoft certification requires several steps. The first step involves earning a current Microsoft Certified Master (MCM) certification in the area of technology you desire to pursue. There are available training opportunities for a variety of MCM categories as well as specific MCM course and exam tutorials from Testslive that will allow you to quickly achieve this prerequisite. Once you have an Microsoft MCM certification, you will then register for the Microsoft Certified Architect program. After your application is approved, you will pay the fee and then gain access to the portfolio of resources to assist you in your preparation for the MCA board exam.

As you review resources for your board exam, you will prepare a portfolio that highlights your work experience and includes a project case study and presentation that demonstrates how your expertise applies to each of the MCA competency areas. When all this is complete, you will submit the portfolio for review by the program manager of your focus area. You will then schedule your board exam and make your final preparations. Good luck in reaching this highest level of the IT profession.
