Becoming a Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS) enables professionals to target specific technologies and to distinguish themselves by demonstrating in-depth knowledge and expertise in their specialized technologies.  An MCTS is consistently capable of implementing, building, troubleshooting, and debugging a particular Microsoft technology. This one-year certificate program provides technology professionals with an in-depth view of Microsoft development in a variety of business contexts. The program is project-driven, which enables students to work on smaller applications as well as a longer development project that spans the course sequence. Concepts and tools, development, optimization, troubleshooting, ADO, controls, and architecture are covered.
