The Microsoft Certified Desktop Support Technician (MCDST) certification proves that you have the skills to successfully support end-users and to successfully troubleshoot desktop environments that are running the Microsoft Windows operating system. MCDST candidates are required to pass two core exams. Elective exams are not required. The MCDST certification will not retire with the release of Windows Vista certifications; it will continue to be supported by Microsoft and valued by employers and decision makers who use Microsoft Windows XP. |
