:: Microsoft Certification

Microsoft (computer Based Test)

Take your IT career to its next destination. Whether you are helping to validate your skills for your next IT job, hoping to get a promotion, or seeking your next Microsoft Certification, Microsoft helps make it easier for you to achieve your goals.

To help you get started, Microsoft is now offering Microsoft Certification Exam Packs, which provide large discounts plus a Second Shot for every exam in the pack. The Second Shot offer allows you to retake an exam if you do not pass it the first time.

In order to sit for a Microsoft Certification exam at a Prometric testing center in Pakistan, candidate must be a legitimate resident of Pakistan. If the Candidates ARE a legitimate resident, note the following:

Effective September 15, 2010, Prometric testing centers in Pakistan are required to confirm and record that each Microsoft Certification candidate has shown documented proof that they are a legitimate resident of that country. To verify country of residence status, each candidate is required to bring two valid and officially recognized forms of identification (ID)—one with a photo and an official residence address, and both with a signature. Students in Pakistan may use Student IDs as an official form of identification. IDs include: Passport, Driver’s license, CNIC, Employee ID and Student ID.

NOTE: Non-eligible candidates will be turned away at the testing center if the candidate is unable to show proof of residency

Microsoft Certifications recognize and validate your real-world IT skills, support the certified community by providing access to unique resources, and offer a life-long career path of IT skills development. These exams are offered throughout the year four days a week, Monday through Thursday at our centers.
