The Microsoft MCITP Server Administrator certification is effectively the latest "MCSE 2008" program, and will replace both the MCSE and MCSA on Server 2003.
The Microsoft Certified IT Professional (MCITP) credential is the leading certification for Windows Server 2008, providing widely recognised validation of your ability to perform critical, current IT job roles by using the latest Microsoft technologies.
The Microsoft MCITP Server Administrator certification:
- Focuses on a specific job role, allowing for in-depth validation of your skill set
- Allows you to earn more than one MCITP certification, demonstrating your abilities across multiple roles
- Builds on a combination of Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS) prerequisites, helping you develop your technical CV with each step in your MCITP career path.
Microsoft MCITP Server Administrator
Server administrators are recognised among their peers and managers as leaders in the day-to-day operations management of Windows Server 2008. Demonstrate and communicate your ability to take system-wide ownership of Windows Server 2008 administration, and increase your organisation's return on technology investment, by earning the Microsoft MCITP Server Administrator certification.
Existing MCSE/MCSA training courses will still be available for IT professionals wishing to work with Server 2003.

The MCITP will be more closely linked to specific job roles and will cover operational processes, operational procedures and the analysis of business problems.

Microsoft MCITP Server Administrator (7 Days) (14/6/2010 to 20/6/2010)
"The immersive study environment is an extremely efficient way to study and gain certifications. Being removed from the outside world really aided my studying and allowed me to completely focus on the course. Its not an easy way to learn, but is it an extremely rewarding experience that really makes you feel you have earned the qualification. I chose Firebrand Training because it was a bootcamp residential course"
Jonathan Birbeck.

Robert Camm, Birmingham City Council.

Microsoft MCITP Server Administrator (7 Days) (22/6/2009 to 28/6/2009)
"The work we had to cover was immense in such a short space of time. Having not come from a Server background, it was a debateable choice on my level of success however, in this one week I was not taught how to pass the exam, but how to actually setup and administer a fully working system! Brilliant type of training but not for the faint hearted! Even when you fail the exams, the support is there afterwards to help fix problem areas!"
Jonathan Twycross, B Squared.
