Master certificates

ayhan06 · 2006-10-24

hi everybody,

where can i find information about that how many people have one master
certificate (or two of master certificates or all of master certificates)
for Navision?

thanks in advance..

I'm afraid you can't. Only MVP listings

Question. What's a "master certificate"?

Waldo · 2006-10-24

This is a site with info (in dutch):
http://www.plataan.be/nl/navision/it_pro/MasterCertificaties.htm#dev

It's just a matter of passing certain (4) exams. E.g.: if you pass the following exams, you are "Microsoft Business Solutions Certified Master in Development":
- Development I
- Development II
- Financial Management
- Installation & Configuration

That sucks... if you pass these tests in 2.xx format, it won't count.

Yep. I'm going to wait for next version 5 b4 I take any exams. I don't know why I would need to take them, unless MS makes it a requirement.

Waldo · 2006-10-25

Well, I was of the same principle. Why would I study the "Installation & Configuration" of 4.0, when 5.0 is almost out? Until I finally did and realized that there were still some things I didn't know before, which comes in handy when doing projects, giving courses, ... . An exam is a small step after studying the material ...

i mean statistics that
1. How many people have passed any one of master certifications for Navision?
2. How many people have passed any two of master certifications for Navision?
3. How many people have passed all of master certifications for Navision?

this is the question i mentioned above. i know steps or other things about master certificates.

Waldo.. do you mean that i can't get this statistics because i am not MVP?

thanks in advance..

Waldo · 2006-10-25

No, I mean that you can only gather info about who is MVP, and how many MVP's there are for a specific product:
http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/communities/mvp.aspx.

I guess this is what you want for people who are certified master, isn't it? I'm afraid this is not available.

hi Waldo,

actually i don't care names of people who are certified master.

how many people have only one of three master certificates?
how many people have any two combination of three master certificates?
how many people have all of three master certificates?

this is the thing that i want to know.

i think this time i explain my question clearly.

thanks..

Waldo · 2006-10-27

You can ask your PAM (if you're a microsoft partner). You can't download that kind of information.

I think it would be clearer if you could explain why you want this information. I can see four possible reasons, (though I am sure there are more).

1/ You are planning to buy Navision, and want to be sure that your NSC is properly certified to give you the support hat you want.
2/ You currently use Navision, and have been told by your NSC that they have xyz certifications, and you just want to make sure.
3/ You currently use Navision, but are not satisfied with your current NSC, and want to change to one with more certifications.
4/ You are an NSC and you want to see what the competition is up to.

I think we can elimiate 4, since if that was the case you would ahve access to the information.

If 2 or 3 then its going to be tough, since your source is the NSC, and there is not a lot of alternative to get the information.
But if its 1, then I would guess you could contact your local Microsoft office and ask them, since I am sure its in their interest to make sure you have the best NSC for the job. (And of course becaus a sale is involved

)

From what I been gather from other solution centers here at Convergence, it seems like every solution center is working towards that at this point.

Give it 1-2 months. I'm sure most solution centers will have at least 1 person be have a master certification at something.

I've been told that partners have to have at least one certified master to receive an MCP ID, which is necessary for becoming (or staying) certified partner.

Cem_Karaer · 2006-11-08

Hi,

We have two people who have master certificates.

This is true waldo...but...!!When a company first register for Microsoft partnership program...it should fulfill some requirments in order to achieve the Microsoft Certified partner in the first place then Microsoft Certified gold partner. At least 2 people should be certified with a total of 5 exams. I had to go throught the whole process with the company I was working for. But note that MCP ID is only for Microsoft Certified Professionals. To be a MBS professional, you get a separate ID. For example, a Navision certified professional will have a: NAVID:xxx.

Take care

Hi Joseph,

I have cleared both Development certification exams of Navision 4.0. I got my certificates but i didn't get MCP ID or anything like that.

Could you please tell me how can i get MCP ID seperatetly.

Thanks in advance.

Joseph_Abou_Nader · 2006-11-17

hey...

To get an MCP ID: you should pass one of Microsoft's eligible exams. For Microsoft Dynamics Certified people, I believe that SQL Server 2000 or SQL 2005 exam would be the best choice. Passing only one exam will qualify you to get the MCP ID. check the below address, I think it would be useful:

ravikantc · 2006-11-17

Thanks Joseph,

I have one more question.

As u said i have to pass one Mycrosoft eligible exam to get MCP ID. But as already passed MB7-221 and MB7-222, is it possible to get MCP ID.

Joseph_Abou_Nader · 2006-11-17

Sorry to inform you...No you can't...

Instead, you get a NAV ID:...which you will use everytime you sit for a Microsoft Dynamics Exam.

One more thing is that you will not be able to see your exams on the web unless you accompany them to your partnersource...

Take Care
