Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0 Exam – I Passed!

October 23, 2007 Leave a comment

I have completed a project just recently with Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0 integrating with Microsoft Dynamics Nav 5.  It was a great learning experience project. 

So once this completed I thought I should study and sit the Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0 Customisation Exam (MB2-422) – so I did!

With a bit of study, I passed the exam today with a result of 94%.  There are 70 questions, 2 hours to complete the exam (this info is public). I would love to tell you more but I signed a NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) so I can not release anything more about the exam itself.

I have also gained the title of: Microsoft Certified Business Management Solutions Specialist by passing this exam. Gee that’s a mouthful aye.

If you study hard you will succeed in this exam. I encourage anyone working with MS CRM to have a go.  CRM 4.0 (Titan) is on its way for release so it’s only time before I do an upgrade for this exam.

If you wish to book an exam you can do so through Prometic via this link: http://www.prometric.com

I have my eye on a few more exams to sit, so stay tuned.
