<em>Would you believe if I say that it&#8217;s possible to be MCPD Certified by giving only one upgraded exam?</em></font><font face="Verdana" size="2">Let me  tell  you  a bit more about upgrading your MCAD, MCSD to      <strong> MCPD</strong>  ( One of the  new  generation  certification       of  Microsoft). Microsoft release three types of MCPD Certification      such  as  Web Developer, Windows Developer and Enterprise Developer as a      part of new generation certificates. The answer for the question  &#8220;how      many papers you need to clear to earn MCPD certificate&#8221; is that it depends on what you wanna be. </font><font face="Verdana" size="2">Suppose: If you are MCAD or  MCSD and       wanna  earn  MCPT-Web Developer  Certification,  you       only  need  to give  just <strong>ONLY ONE EXAM </strong>(Exam 70-551) as upgrading..</font></p>
