TechEd North America Logo

The most valuable take-home from TechEd North America won’t be any of the booth swag or that photo of you at the CNN Center.  A new Microsoft Certification credential earned at TechEd will impress your boss and won’t even take up any room in your luggage.

Starting on May 15, Microsoft Learning is offering a comprehensive certification experience at TechEd North America. TechEd is all about technology and professional development, and certification is the perfect way to combine the two and show that you’re at the top of your game. We’re going to provide assistance every step of the way on your journey to get certified or update your certifications:

  • Identify the right exams for you – Microsoft Certified Trainer Ambassadors and Microsoft Learning employees will be onsite all week to work with you on finding the exam path that suits your goals and your skills. Look for us in the booth and in the Study Hall.
  • Purchase your exams – We’re offering discounts of up to 25% on Exam Packs for individuals and for Microsoft Partners. Check your communications from TechEd and you’ll find instructions on how to get your voucher code to take advantage of this offer. This is your last chance to purchase exams at a discount off today’s prices. If you take the first exam in your pack onsite at TechEd North America, you’ll be charged today’s North American price of $125 USD per exam for all exams in your pack and the applicable discount will be taken from that amount. Then, you’ll have until December 31, 2011 to complete the rest of your exams. So take your first test or all of the exams in your pack while you’re in Atlanta and avoid the price change coming on July 1 (August 1 in India).
  • Prepare for your exams – Our MCT Ambassadors will be presenting 19 Cram 4 Exam sessions based on the official exam prep guides to help you identify any areas that you still need to study or let you know that you’re ready to take your exam. Check out the “C4E” series on “My TechEd” and add these sessions to your schedule.
  • One on one help in our Study Hall – The Study Hall is back and packed with resources! From MCT Ambassadors who are ready to help to Practice Tests provided by MeasureUp and Transcender, you’ve got plenty of help.
  • Once you’re certified – Stop by our Certified Community Lounge to connect with other certified professionals and be sure to check out our list of Cert Chats. These short chalk-talk style sessions are designed to get the community talking and let you get all of your questions answered.
  • Meet people who are walking the walk – Career Factor participants will be onsite all week! Here’s your chance to meet the stars of this reality show in person. From the newly-minted Microsoft Certified Master to the IT Pro who wants to advance his career, you’re sure to identify with one of these amazing people.  And when you do meet them, be sure to ask for their card – collect cards to redeem for prizes at the Microsoft Learning booth.

From start to finish, all of your certification needs can be met at TechEd North America next week!
