Today I completed my last two exams for Office XP and Office 2003 that brings my total to four exams per version and gives me the right to be certified as a MOS Master in both versions.
Pending management approval, I’ll be going to Orlando in September to take a course in presentation skills that will allow me to apply to be both an MOS Master Instructor and a Microsoft Certified Trainer (MCT), both of which the Company will pay all the fees and dues associated with those.
It’s a really exciting time for our department for getting more recognition of our skillbase to justify our desires for increased compensation. These certifications are just screaming in their offices saying “competant computer engineers,” rather than simple red-line fixers that HR thinks we are.
Now that my brain is totally mush from taking 8 exams in 4 days, I’m going to veg tomorrow by playing WoW for hours.
