Mission Statement

Microsoft Certified Application Developer

About Microsoft Certified Application Developer
Microsoft® Certified Application Developer, MCAD, is one of the professional certifications that measure technical expertise in various areas relating to Microsoft® software products. Specifically, the Microsoft® Certified Application Developer designs and implements Web and Windows Applications in line with industry standards. Microsoft® defines MCAD as follows: "Microsoft Certified Application Developers (MCADs) use Microsoft technologies to develop and maintain department-level applications, components, Web or desktop clients, or back-end data services."
Who is MCAD for?
This course of instruction provides students with the skills and industry recognised credentials necessary to work as a professional in either a Web or Windows Development environment.
Who is MCAD for?
While students with a technical background will benefit from their experience, students from any background with a desire to learn and study can do well. A background in programming is not required to pursue the MCAD, although such experience will be a distinct advantage to achieving certification.

Benefits
Microsoft® Certified Application Developer (MCAD) is a professional exam with wide visibility in the Software Development industry. .NET technologies are currently in great demand, and that demand is not being met. Independent industry surveys indicate that there are hundreds of thousands of information technology (IT) positions vacant at companies with at least 100 employees and an estimated 1.3 million new jobs being created through 2006. Because in the IT industry there's no such thing as overqualified, adding an MCAD certification to your list of professional qualifications could be a major factor in your career advancement.
After MCAD

You can continue along the .NET track by completing two more examinations to earn the MCSD qualification.
