The
Microsoft Certified Professional(MCP) credential is for IT
professionals who can demonstrate the skills to implement a Microsoft
product or technology as part of a business solution in an organization.
The MCP program includes a 3-course CompTIA program to develop hands-on
experience with the products before you begin the certification process and
ready students for the CompTIA A+ Hardware and Software and CompTIA Network
+ examinations. An additional class is provided to prepare for the MS
Windows XP Professional (70-270) examination. These courses prepare
candidates to earn the MCP certification by successfully passing the CompTIA
and Microsoft exams.
All courses are taught two nights a week and each class
lasts five weeks (45 hours of instruction.) The estimated time to
complete the full MCSE program is approximately 15 months. All courses
are taught in an especially designed teaching lab by a certified Microsoft
instructor. This program is taught in a cadre format with groups of
students starting together and remaining together through the classes.
For that reason, a new group of students can begin the program about every
eight months. The program has been approved for WIA and Veterans
Vocational Rehabilitation funding.
