10 Introduction

Microsoft Official Curriculum (MOC) and MSDN Training Curriculum canhelp you develop the skills that you need to do your job. They also complementthe experience that you gain while working with Microsoft products andtechnologies. However, no one-to-one correlation exists between MOC andMSDN Training courses and MCP exams. Microsoft does not expect or intendfor the courses to be the sole preparation method for passing MCP exams.

Practical product knowledge and experience is also necessary to pass the MCPexams.

To help prepare for the MCP exams, use the preparation guides that areavailable for each exam. Each Exam Preparation Guide contains exam-specificinformation, such as a list of the topics on which you will be tested. Theseguides are available on the Microsoft Training and Certification Web site athttp://www.microsoft.com/traincert/.
