​It took me long enough to get all off the SharePoint certificates but Yesterday I finally passed the last exam.

I know have the following SharePoint 2010 certificates:

  • 70-573: MCTS: Microsoft SharePoint 2010, Application Development
  • 70-667: MCTS: Microsoft SharePoint 2010, Configuring
  • 70-668: PRO: Microsoft SharePoint 2010, Administrator
  • 70-576: PRO: Designing and Developing Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Applications

I have to say that 70-668 was the hardest exams of them all. But I think that everyone that has enough experience with SharePoint can pass these exams you just have to filter out the wrong answers.

For now I will take a few months of rest in which I will move to my new house in Vlaardingen and wait till the moment my lovely girlfriend will give birth to our son/daughter.

And then I will go for the .NET Framework 3.5 exams especially (.NET Framework 3.5, Windows Workflow Foundation Applications (70-504)).
