New Microsoft Project Exams

Microsoft has released their new MS Project certifications and they are on par with their other serious certs.

70-632 Microsoft Project 2007 Desktop, Managing Projects

70-633 Microsoft Project 2007 Server, Managing Projects

70-634 Microsoft Project 2007 Server, Managing Projects and Programs

The first two are MCTS (Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist) exams, while the last is a MCITP (Microsoft Certified IT Professional). The MCITP also requires achieving the two MCTS credentials first.

I took the 70-632 exam last Fall when it became available and although I passed easily, I was surprised at the difficulty of the exam. Almost all questions were scenario based and I really had to not only understand MS Project inside and out, but also have project management knowledge.

In February, I took the 70-633 exam and passed. It was a very similar format and again, I was impressed with the number of scenarios that required me to really think. That said, I took these exams without the help of practice exams, which I’m sure would have made the process a tad easier.
