Overview CurriculumWhat's IncludedTestimonialsPricing

Getting MCPD certified shows you have arrived.
The knowledge that comes with it shows how you got there.

During our 14-day Microsoft .NET 4 Microsoft Certified Professional Developer Training Camp, students will live, learn, and take the exams at one of our state-of-the-art education centers. This blended-learning course employs outcome-based (Lecture | Lab | Review)™ delivery that focuses on preparing you with the real-world skills required to pass the simulator-based exams (and to hit the ground running in your career). This course distinguishes you as an expert C# and/or VB.net developer in developing Data Access application, ASP.NET 4 and web development technologies.

The MCPD course is designed to teach how to design, architect, and build interactive, data-driven multi-tier service-oriented applications. This helps developers build Windows, Web, and Enterprise Application Development platforms using C# and/or VB.net Framework 4.

This course also covers .NET 4.0 MCTS Web, which certifies your ability to create web-based applications using either ASP.NET Web Forms or ASP.NET MVC.

.NET 4.0 MCPD is a replacement to the Microsoft MCSD certification track, and is Microsoft's highest level of Developer certification.
