Ok, i was browsing on google images at various MCP certificates!

And i noticed that alot of them was signed by the man himself! Yes, BILL GATES!

For example:



So don't be surprised to wait anything upto 3 - 6 months for your certificate!

Im in for a long wait! Mad

The people who hand out the materials are not paid to be in a hurry. Smile I think most of the people used to work for a LEC.

Mine just arrived about 2 weeks ago and does not look like that. It says the same thing but I don't like the layout. Is it supposed to look like the image above? Confused

Truth be told I like the wallet ID card MORE than the certificate itself..... Rolling Eyes

Oh and I believe my welcome kit came from Singapore... maybe that's why it took 5 weeks.

That image is the old design. Any new certificates are plain white with a blue bar. Personally I like the old certificate better, but I agree the new wallet cards are nice.

I still think it is funny that we pay good money for these tests and then we get a pice of paper and a card that costs them around .36 to make. They probably ave a good profit marin on these tests.


Of course if they weren't so expensive, then we would all not worry about failing them since it wouldn't have as great a penalty.

I heard that the certificates are processed in Singapore. Perhaps, that may be the reason it take 2- 4 weeks. I can't wait for mine. It's has only been 18 days.
