I doubt certification means much, especially as there are now websites where you pay, and they take the test in your name... - 2005[^]
Sorry, I think it's a total waste of time... - 2006[^]
This is why Microsoft certification is a waste of time, and meaningless... - 2006[^]
I've totally seen certification centres that will take the test in your name, and guarentee you will pass. How this is of value to anyone, is beyond me. - 2006[^]
Certifications are a joke, they are a waste of time. They prove nothing, apart from a willingness to pay for a test over and over, until you pass it. - 2007[^]
Yes, it's overpriced. Certification is useless, IMO. Certainly any certification that's free, is useless. - 2007[^]
See, this is why I would never bother with MS certifications, or hire anyone who had one, and thought it meant anything. - 2007[^]
See, it's because of people like you that certifications are worthless. Just say I had these answers and sent them to you. Do you think you can go into an interview with that certificate, but have no idea how to pass the test ( i.e. not know how to write web apps with C# ) and get a job ? - 2007[^]
This is why certifications are useless - 2007[^]
I think all exams are a waste of time. If someone wouldn't hire me b/c I don't have one, they have failed my exam. - 2008[^]
I thnk you mean you want to pass one ? That's easy, the web is full of guides. That's why those exams are worthless. - 2008[^]
I got an email once from someone who offered any Microsoft certification. They were a testing centre, so they would sit the exam in your name. - 2008[^]
certification is a joke. I am astounded that anyone still cares, MS must spend a lot on studies and articles like this one. - 2008[^]
Certification is a joke. I would say as much in my interviews. People can buy it without knowing anything. Prove that you know your stuff, that should be all you need to do. - 2009[^]
You really think that an employer won't work out that you have no idea about ASP.NET and just used 'dumps' to cheat on the exams ? This is why exams are useless. - 2009[^]
You know, any company worth working for, knows these things are useless and can quickly tell in interviews between programmers and people who got a certification by reading dumps - 2009[^]
You're not seriously going to do these ? - 2009[^]
MS certifications are easy to buy, that part does not surprise me at all. - 2010[^]

Solution 1

You have to study for the exam, and then buy a voucher for it. Once you have the voucher, you go to a Micrsosoft-approved testing center in your area and take the test. You can get a list of developer exams here:

Google, as always, is your friend:

Visual Studio Certification[^]

I am of the personal oppinion that MS certification is a waste of time and money because every time they release a new version of Visual Studio, your current/past certifications aren't applicable. It's just a way for them to get money from programmers who would actually be better off spending that cash of tools to help them do their job rather than meaningless certifications.

"because every time they release a new version of Visual Studio, your current/past certifications aren't applicable"

They are still applicable, the knowledge and skills obtained don't expire.

But a MCSD for VS2008 is *NOT* a MCSD for VS2010. If you want the 2010 cert, you have to re-take the (correct) test.

Correct. If you wanted to upgrade. The concepts learned in the previous don't evaporate, they are built upon. Just as when the .net 4.0 was released we didn't through out all we learned from past released did we?

Well, everything can be used or misused. If you are buying a certification then obviously that is not right. But if you want to study and get a certification then obviously you have achieved the purpose of the certification. And nobody can take it away from you because you earned it and not bought it.
