How long does MCP last for

[NevG]

Hey gang

Im in the UK been working for software development firm for about 2 years now. I am considering doing a couple of MCP

1 in VB 6 distributed apps and another in Designing secure Win 2K networks. Both being useful to my current climate. Im just curious if I was to getthose how long do they last. Ive heard rumours about 2 years or something like that.

Whats the official thing

Thanks

AFAIK, with Microsoft's recent decision not to decertify professionals when updated exams are released, you will not lose your certification credential for VB6-Distributed when the VB.NET exams are released. Thus, you'll retain your MCP status for good.....or until Microsoft revises their policy again. Jon Hawkins

I belive the 2 years is for the CompTIA tests... since they were running out of people intrested in having an A+, Network+, and Internet+.

- 1, but he has to do it every two years to make sure he remembers how
