This afternoon I passed the exam 70-221 Designing a Windows 2000 Network Infrastructure. Based on my reckoning, this will now make me an MCSE in Windows 2000, the culmination of a process that I started almost six years ago. Of course, six years ago there was no Windows 2000 and so most of my earlier exams do not count towards my MCSE.
With the achievement of the MCSE, in the past 3 months I have met the requirements for, and been awarded: MCSE 2000; CompTIA A+ 2003; CompTIA Project+ 2003 and the EXIN Foundation Certificate in IT Service Management (ITIL). I have been busy collecting certifications for the increasingly impending Netherlands job hunt. Just the Diploma to go.
[update 29-1-2005] Just got my official transcript – I am not only an MCSE in Windows 2000, but also in Windows NT 4.0, so I guess my old efforts did not go to waste. Bonus!
