An individual who has acquired his MCSE is considered a Microsoft certified specialist.  These MCSE’s go through both classroom and hands on training to acquire it. A total of 7 exams are taken; four in networking, one in design, one client operating systems, and two electives.  Each exam can take hours, and many will not pass on their first try.  Once these engineers gain their MCSE they are required to continue to take exams to test their knowledge every year, or the certification is removed. They experience months of classroom training, usually by centers such as New Horizons.  

Microsoft describes this certification,

“The Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE) certification shows clients and employers that you are skilled in designing, implementing, and administering infrastructures for business solutions based on Windows Server 2003 and Microsoft Windows 2000 Server. Implementation responsibilities include installing, configuring, and troubleshooting network systems.”

At CCR, we take very much pride in our MCSEs. They have endured some of the hardest technical training out there. Not only does the training give each of them a better view of how networks operate, but also hands on experience (at least one year). An MCSE is seen as a “badge of honor” in the business world by most professionals.
