Microsoft certification is an industry-recognized credential preparing students to fill the large number of positions in the information technology field. To learn more about Microsoft's credential and certification programs, students should review the material on the Microsoft World Wide Web site at http://www.microsoft.com/trainingandservices.
All courses are taught by instructors certified by Microsoft in the product area they are teaching. Lehman College does not conduct the certification exams nor are the costs of the exams included in the tuition. Students must make their own arrangements for the exams at a designated testing center. Practice exams may be conducted in class to enable students to gauge their progress.
We encourage all students currently in our program, those planning to attend our summer classes or considering applying to the MCP program in the future to attend our Career Seminar on Thursday, May 23.
