  Hi All,
  
  A lot of people have problems finding out information on Certification from the Microsoft Site.
  
  I understand this if their first port of call is the Learning Manager (http://learning.microsoft.com/Manager/catalog.aspx)
  
  However I suggest you start at 
  
  Browse by Subject
  http://www.microsoft.com/learning/mcp/certifications.mspx
  
  which gives a logical grouping of all certifications.
  You can link through to individual exams and see their requirements.
  
  For Visual Studio 2008
  http://www.microsoft.com/learning/mcp/vstudio/2008/default.mspx
  This includes a link to a video on Cert options.
  
  Similarly for SQL 2008
  
  SQL Server 2008 Certification Paths Main Learning LInk
  http://www.microsoft.com/learning/mcp/sql/2008/default.mspx
  
  Including a link to a brochure showing all SQL 2008 Cert options.

  Hope this is helpful.
  
  My tip for passing a cert is to book an exam, you cannot pass if you do not sit an exan.
  
  Good Luck
