Software development is one of the most lucrative career paths in the world right now. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, these professionals earn, on average, $90,530 a year. While developer positions are expected to grow by 30 percent in the next several years, it is still a very competitive field. As such, any edge a student can get before entering the industry can help him or her land a well-paying job.

Microsoft Certified Professional Developer (MCPD) certification is just one such edge. Designed by Microsoft to provide a professional with proof that the holder has the skills, knowledge and talent to use various programming tools like Microsoft Visual Studio, .NET framework, Sharepoint, Silverlight and more, these credentials also give the professional access to resources and benefits unique to the Microsoft certification program. These perks include access to the MCP career center and a network of affiliated professionals and employers.

In order to earn MCPD certification, a student has to take an exam in one of a variety of specified areas, such as application design in Visual Studio 2010 or developing for the Windows Phone. All of these exams require two to three years of experience working with relevant tools, and some require that the test taker hold Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS) credentials.
