Hello All,

I want to know about MVP.

Can anyone described how to be a MVP?

Being an MVP takes years of dedication and a huge amount of knowledge in the field.

Here's a nice link: http://www.sqlskills.com/BLOGS/PAUL/pos ... tions.aspx

Search Microsoft for more about the MVP program.

[Edit] It appears that that link is no longer working. I'll try to sum it up. Get involved in NAV communities. Speak at conferences. Most importantly, help others who are trying to learn. That really encompasses everything about the MVP program. You are voted an MVP by your peers (other MVPs for the most part). There's a reason there are only 20 or so NAV MVPs. It's not something that is achieved over night.

Steps for MVP?

I want to be a MVP in NAV Technical.

There are no steps. It's not like a certification. You don't pass a test and become an MVP. You spend years perfecting your craft, earn the respect of your peers, and are voted into the honor.

MVPs are each year nominated for this one-year award (yes, it is award, not certification). People, which are active on forums, are doing some user groups, writing blogs, or have other way of some influence to community are awarded for this by Microsoft. Starting pint for more info is this site: https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/

It seems that you are interested in this: https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/gp/mvpbecoming

But beginning the way by "I want to become an MVP" is not the right start... [-X

Do what you like, help others, learn, listen, share, and you could be an MVP... but doing all this just to be an MVP, trust me, it is not worth it to put so much energy into it just because the MVP award. And you do not need to be professional in the area, MVPs are different people from different areas, like nurses, doctors, teachers, sellers, drivers etc. they just love something and they are trying to help others as they can. And this is the core of the award.

At www.DynamicsWorld.co.uk we are trying to contact as many of the Dynamics MVPs as we can to conduct a short interview with them, it is an achievement to be awarded MVP status and the interviews we've conducted so far have been insightful with regards to Dynamics and have been enjoyed by our readers.

So if you are an MVP and you would be interested in taking part in an interview but have received an emailed from us (its taking some time to find everyone), please email me on simone@dynamicsworld.co.uk for the details.

That pretty much sums it up. Most MVPs I know do this because they enjoy helping people. They share their time (all non-billable) to ensure people can apply NAV in the real world. Being awarded MVP is just a cherry on top.

But trying to boost your forum posts to so you can earn an MVP is the wrong way to go about it.

Like kine said, it requires a ton of energy and effort. And if you don't enjoy doing this, you'll burn out pretty fast.
