subject: The Mcitp Is Microsoft's Certified It Professional [print this page] The MCITP is Microsoft's Certified IT Professional and could be compared to the MCSE. However, there are many more types of
70-680 than the MCSE and those types of MCITP have various certification requirements. For example, to get a MCITP Enterprise Desktop Support
Technician 7 you need to take the Microsoft PRO Exam 70-685: Windows 7, Enterprise Desktop Support Technician 7 on top of your MCTS in Windows 7
Configuration. The requirements to obtain the MCITP Enterprise Desktop Administration 7 certifications are similar but you need to take the Microsoft PRO
Exam 70-686: Windows 7, Enterprise Desktop Administrator 7 exam on top of your MCTS in Windows 7 Configuration. I should note that both of these exams are
listed as "in development" by Microsoft and are expected to be released on November 16, 2009.
For a much more in depth type of MCITP, you can apply your MCTS in Configuring Windows 7 to the MCITP Enterprise Administrator certification. This version of
the MCITP requires that you take 4 tests, in addition to the 70-680 that you passed to obtain your MCTS.
