Usually certification is add-on to the orthodox education, so Microsoft are trying to reintroduce whole certification among the people interested in it. They've developed new framework that has three skilled levels:

- Associate level - Microsoft Certified Solutions Associate (MCSA), very basic and very starting point.
- Expert level - Microsoft Certified Solutions Expert (MCSE), moderate level, similar to current MCITP.
- Master level - Microsoft Certified Solutions Master (MCSM), the highest level, in depth knowledge is needed for particular Microsoft Solution.

With the new certification plan Microsoft want to raise the level of required knowledge for the titles that are earned after passing the tests. The test will be harder and harder.
