How Do I become a MicroStrategy
Certified Developer (MCD)?
MicroStrategy Certified Developer (MCD) candidates are required to pass
the following project:
In order to attend the three-day MCD Project, candidates
must first pass the following required exam within 18 months of the desired MCE Project:
The following table lists the MicroStrategy courses designed
to help MCD candidates prepare for the required exams.
If individuals have the prerequisite knowledge and skills to take the exams without any formal classroom instruction, both the Web Specialist Certification exam and the Web Developer Certification exam can be taken during any scheduled Testing Day offered by MicroStrategy to qualify for entry into the MCD three-day Project.
Candidates must attain 75% or higher to pass the MCD Project. If another attempt is necessary, the candidate must attain 85% or higher on subsequent retake MCD Projects. A candidate can return for up to three attempts on the MCD Project within the same 12-month period. If the candidate fails a third attempt, they must wait at least three months before they schedule another retake MCD Project. If any of the two, prerequisite focus area certifications (which are valid for 18 months) expire during this three-month waiting period, candidates must recertify in that particular focus area before they are eligible to register for the MCD Project again. If the candidate fails a fourth attempt, they must again wait three months before they are eligible to register for the MCD Project. This continues so long as they keep failing.
