Microsoft no longer send MCP certificates

June 24, 2009 · Posted in General · Comment 

Just learn from MCP portal that Microsoft will discontinue sending Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP) certificates from July 2009. If you want a paper certificate, then you must pay shipping and handling fees.

According to born to learn, Microsoft is supporting GREEN movement and to reduce carbon footprint.

What a lousy excuses!

Imaging after you study so hard to pass the exam, you got nothing to prove. Microsoft make so much money and each Microsoft exam is not cheap, S$265 per paper ~~ :(

They can cut the useless wallet card & welcome kit, but not the certificate.

Microsoft Certificates

Microsoft had remove many MCP benefits many years ago, like the pin badge, TechNet membership, etc

Now, don’t even get a certificate.
