    I am looking for MCP statitistics in Russia
    http://www.microsoft.com/rus/learning/mcp/statistics.mspx

    telling that there are more MCSDs (1063) than MCADs (853)?!

    How can it be if MCAD is part of any MCSD (only with a fewer exams passed)?

    And where is the stats worldwide?

    Hi Guennadiy.

     

    To earn your MCAD credential, you must pass three exams (in any order):

    • One exam on Web applications development or Windows applications development

    • One exam on Web services and server components

    • One elective exam

    and

    To earn the MCSD credential, you must pass five exams (in any order):

    • One exam on Web applications development

    • One exam on Windows applications development

    • One exam on Web services and server components

    • One exam on solution architecture

    • One elective exam



    So if your are MCAD, and you wants to become MCSD then you have to pass only these exams:

    • One exam on solution architecture
    • One elective exam


    I hope this info will be helpful to you.
    I'm looking forward to your reply.

    I am MCSD (and naturally MCAD, thereafter or before)  and the question was not about "how to?" but "why?"
