The upgrade paths for the Professional Developer series require that candidates have a minimum existing Microsoft Certified Application Developer certification, although since this is a prerequisite for the Microsoft Certified Solutions Developer series, this also qualifies. Generally candidates who specialised in Windows Forms development in the MCAD would upgrade to the MCPD: Windows Developer, Web developers would take the MCPD: Web Developer path, and MCSD holders would upgrade to the MCPD: Enterprise Applications Developer. However, there is no actual restriction enforced and a candidate holding any variant of the MCAD three MCAD to MCPD paths, and an MCSD can take any of the four MCSD to MCAD paths.

MCAD/MCSD to MCPD: Web Developer This certification requires that one pass the following examination:

• Exam 70-551: UPGRADE: MCAD Skills to MCPD: Web Developer by Using the Microsoft .NET Framework

MCAD/MCSD to MCPD: Windows Developer This certification requires that one pass the following examination:

• Exam 70-552: UPGRADE: MCAD Skills to MCPD: Windows Developer by Using the Microsoft .NET Framework

MCAD to MCPD: Enterprise Applications Developer This certification requires that one pass the following examinations:

• Exam 70-551: UPGRADE: MCAD Skills to MCPD: Web Developer by Using the Microsoft .NET Framework
• Exam 70-552: UPGRADE: MCAD Skills to MCPD: Windows Developer by Using the Microsoft .NET Framework

MCSD to MCPD: Enterprise Applications Developer This certification requires that one pass the following examinations:

Prerequisite: MCTS: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - Implementation and Maintenance

MCSA and MCSE Transitions

MCSA and MCSE certifications will not be retired. Microsoft has introduced a transition path to allow MCSA/MCSE holders to obtain MCITP certification. Both certifications require a transitional exam. To upgrade a MCSA, the 70-648 exam is required as well as one additional exam for MCITP: Server Administrator and three additional exams for the MCITP: Enterprise Administrator. To upgrade a MCSE the 70-649 is required as well as one additional exam for MCITP: Server Administrator and two additional exams for the MCITP: Enterprise Administrator
