MCITP Certifications demonstrate expertise across an IT job role.

Microsoft Certified IT Professionals (MCITPs) have the skills and experience to successfully perform the duties of an IT position - such as Database Developer or Server Administrator - with a concentration on Microsoft technologies of course.

Beyond the abilities to install, configure and troubleshoot widely-used Microsoft platforms, MCITPs can make the business and technology decisions necessary to ensure successful product deployments and implementations. This advanced level of expertise enables Microsoft Certified IT Pros to help the organization increase its technology ROI and maximize performance, often earning them top-tier salaries and benefits.

The MCITP builds on the skills measured in the MCTS, therefore, you will have earned one or more MCTS certifications on your path to becoming a Microsoft Certified IT Professional. Where the specialist-level MCTS cert validated your skills in a specific Microsoft technology, the professional-level MCITP certification confirms your skills in the entire job-role, across multiple Microsoft and non-Microsoft technologies.
