MCSE Certifications

MCSE certifications validate your ability to implement physical and cloud-based solutions across multiple technologies.

Microsoft Certified Solutions Expert (MCSE) certifications recognize established IT professionals with the skills to design, create and manage technology solutions using today's leading Microsoft products. As the flagship credential of Microsoft’s new cloud-optimized certification program, MCSEs can manage IT solutions both on-site and in the cloud.

Perhaps the most marketable trait of solutions experts is their deep contextual knowledge of Microsoft platforms and how they interact with each other. This means a MCSE can take a business problem, conceptualize an innovative solution and build it from the ground up, making him or her a valuable asset to the organization.

The prerequisite for MCSE certification is the Microsoft Certified Soltuions Associate (MCSA) class of certificates, which focus on building solutions within a single Microsoft platform, such as Windows 10 or SQL Server 2012. If you’re completely new to IT, check out the beginner-level Microsoft Technology Associate (MTA) certifications.
