From the day 05 April 2013 Microsoft replaced the exam 70-178 – Managing Projects with Microsoft Project 2010 by examination 74-343 – Managing Projects with Microsoft Project 2013.

For those who still want to take the MCTS certification (Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist) version in MS Project 2010, examination may be done to 31/01/2014. After this date will only be possible to prove the version 2013 MS Project.

See below for tips on studying to certify as MCTS in Microsoft Project 2013.

What is MCTS

The MCTS certification is, basically, confirmation given by Microsoft that proves that the certified person has full knowledge in a specific technology from Microsoft itself. You can become an expert in Microsoft Windows tool 8, Expert in Microsoft Word 365, ou no Microsoft SQL Server 2008, in other words, tem o conhecimento necessário para operar determinada ferramenta da Microsoft.

In the case of examination 74-343, you will be tested to the knowledge needed to work with the tool Microsoft Project 2013, one of the leading tools to assist the Project Manager in the sequence and duration of activities, allocation of resources, budgeting etc.., in other words, preparation of project schedule.

For those who work as Project Managers, beyond PMP certification, is also a great tip this certification Microsoft Project 2013 (MCTS). In an analysis of curriculum, Recruiter, to verify that you are a MCTS certificate in MS Project, will guarantee you, candidate, has proven expertise in Microsoft Project tool 2013.

This issue is the analysis of the curriculum and controversy, because many will say that a person is not certified can have more experience and knowledge that another certified. I agree with this point of view, but if I were a recruiter, not personally know the candidates, certainly choose someone certified, because it would have more chance to choose a more qualified.
