Question
-
I am looking for MCP statitistics in Russia
http://www.microsoft.com/rus/learning/mcp/statistics.mspxtelling 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?"
