    Hi everyone,

    I have recently gained the following SQL Server 2005 credentials:
    Business Intelligence Developer
    Database Developer

    Looking at the Number of Microsoft Certified Professionals Worldwide on the MCP site, I was wondering if anyone had any stats just for the United Kingdom and how many had gained just these two credentials.

    Any info would be great.

    Best Regards

    Congratulations on the SQL BI Developer Certification, as far as I know Microsoft does not release data by region at this time. But let me say with only around 500 of you world wide you are in a league with very few others. :)

    Actually Microsoft publishes this information in a sub section of the learning site but the data is usually not current and updated a few times a year the last version was dated February 2008.  So check the link below for the April 2 2008 version of the list.  Congratulations I have also passed the BI exams and the MCTS for DBA but I have not decided if I want to upgrade or get clean 2005 DBA cert it is just one extra exam on a product I have used for more than 9 years.

    By subset of each Certification as in MCITP -> DBA, DBP, CST, EST, etc. But I was fairly certain the OP was referring to region by country of origin, which is information I am not aware is published on Microsoft's or any otehr site.

    Yea but I was answering the any info part but that was not what the OP was looking for.  And you are right Microsoft does not publish regional and dual certs info.

    Hi,

    It's redirected to http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/certification/cert-overview.aspx.
    Isn't it available anymore?

    Regards,

    Correct, we no longer publish the number of people certified.

    Correct, we no longer publish the number of people certified.

    Why not?
    because if people see the stats falling they will interpret this trend like "certs are not important anymore so why should I bother..."

    I think Trika used to do this when she was in charge of Certification.

    She moved on so my guess is that the real reason is nobody can be bothered to keep it up to date rather than any conspiracy.

    Since the GFC (Global Financial Crisis), and presummable a few reduced bonus expectations, I feel there is a lot less effort from Microsoft in their community.
