Ready to take the dive! After 10 years I want to pursue a Microsoft Certified Master Certification. Just got off the Microsoft site, so confusing. Can anybody tell me, IN ENGLISH, how many/what tests I need to take to get there. I get the last two steps, the KNowledge and Lab exam, but what are the prerequisites to get to that point?

MCTS SQL 2008 administrator (Exam 70-432), MCITP SQL 2008 administrator (Exam 70-450)

And don't underestimate those MCM exams.

Thanks Gila, I will not.

Just wanted to know how to get there. They list a lot of tests and certifications even on their matrix but it looked like to me only those four were required. Thanks for verifying.

I haven't looked at them, but Brent Ozar has some MCM training videos here[/url].

Don't know how I missed the Ozar stuff. I check out his site all the time. As I said, I'm 10 years in being a DBA and this is something I was initially not gung ho about but my company will pay most of the costs so why not. Has this made a difference for anybody? Thanks for the help.

Those 30-40 vids are really good. Not everything you need to know by a long shot but they give you a good idea of the areas involved and depth of knowledge required.

Im not planning on doing the MCM for another 3-4 years but i still think these videos are really beneficial.
