Specialist
using Developer Skills
Please note that this certification for Framework 3.5 and
earlier ends on 31st July
2013. For Framework 4.0 the MCTS will continue until further notice but it
will not be updated to VS2012.
However the MCTS certification will decline in value as
companies move to newer versions of Microsoft products so it is advisable
to take advantage of F1's special upgrades to earn the new Microsoft
Certified Solutions Developer (MCSD) to protect your investment in your
certifications. The new MCSD tracks are detailed

From ONLY £1,650
