Microsoft Certifications are information technology professional certifications for Microsoft products. Individual certifications are received upon passing one or more exams.

There are four major tiers with the MC (Microsoft Certified) prefix, which are: Microsoft Certified Solutions Associate (MCSA), Microsoft Certified Solutions Expert (MCSE), Microsoft Certified Solutions Developer (MCSD), and Microsoft Certified Solutions Master (MCSM).

Microsoft Certified Solutions Associate (MCSA)

The Microsoft Certified Solutions Associate certification is the foundation for higher certifications and prerequisite for the Microsoft Certified Solutions Expert (MCSE). This new certification replaces the older Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS).Despite its name, the MCSA Certification for Windows Server 2008 is "based on Windows Server 2008 R2 technology".

Microsoft Certified Database Administrator (MCDBA)

The Microsoft Certified Database Administrator certification program credential is meant for database administrators, who will implement and administer Microsoft SQL Serverdatabases. The MCSE in the Database category superseded this certification.

Microsoft Certified Trainer (MCT)

The MCT program is made up of approximately 20,000 Certified Trainers around the world. This community provides top-quality training on Microsoft products and services. MCTs are Microsoft’s premier community of technical and instructional experts and are the only community specifically endorsed to deliver training using Microsoft Official Courseware.
A Microsoft Learning Partner (LP) must employ or contract with a MCT to deliver Microsoft Official Courseware (MOC) courses they offer, whether to private closed groups or public classes. A Learning Partner may purchase MOC materials, and while they may sell these on to an independent MCT (if they choose to) for them to run a private class (for participants from a single organization), a MCT may not run public classes using MOC materials other than for a Learning Partner.
During the Windows 2000 era, the requirement to pass the examinations associated with a class was relaxed. This meant that a MCT with MCSE could teach programming classes and a MCDBA could teach engineering courses. For the XP/Server 2003 era, even the requirements of premier certifications like MCSE, MCDBA, MCSD, etc. were removed. CEC's and training requirements were removed in total. Only an annual fee was required to be paid to maintain a MCT. MCDST's could also be certified as a trainer. Today a MCT can be certified in only office applications and hold the trainer certification title.
With the 2007/2008 generation of certification programs, MCTS and MCITP, the trainers were tied to "competencies". Each Microsoft Official Course (MOC) requires one or more specialized certifications to be held in addition to MCT certification so that the delivery of title to be allowed under the program. There were 54 different competencies as of March 2010 (with last update May 2009). For example, to deliver a Course 50213A (related to Data Protection Manager 2007), the instructor requires the certification title MCTS: System Center Configuration Manager 2007 certification. In general a MCT is now required to hold a MCSE / MCITP level certification in a track and version (e.g., SharePoint 2010, Exchange 2010) to teach MOC courses in that subject at a LP. When a new product version comes out, a MCT has a grace period where they can teach the new subject based on their qualification in the previous version. This is to enable the teaching of new subjects. This period ends 90 days from the release date of the updated exams, during which time the MCT must pass the new requirements or continue to teach only the older version courses after this grace period elapses.
Quality control of MOC, LP companies and MCTs is monitored via student evaluations submitted to Metrics That Matter provided by Knowledge Advisors (an independent third-party company). The MCT program agreement includes a requirement of minimum average scores, without which a MCT may not renew their membership in the program.
Microsoft also publishes "Community Courseware" written by third-party authors in the Microsoft Learning Courseware Library. This is not MOC and does not bear Microsoft's branding nor have the same restrictions about who can deliver these courses or where. Some consider this to be a loophole which allows unqualified instructors to provide public classes. For example, a MCT certified in only Word 2003 can legally deliver an ISA Server 2006 class (Course 50002A) since that is not a Microsoft Official Course, or could even deliver a private class in Windows Server 2008 using MS Press books, but could not teach any MOC course to a public class organized themselves or via a Learning Partner. Of course, there is nothing stopping any expert teaching a class in their subject area using their own materials, books or any other training resources they have legally obtained. They do not need to be a MCT or work for a Learning Partner, unless they wish to deliver MOC courses, for which they must be qualified.
