MCDBA Certification Spells Career Success

For career tracks in database administration, analysis, and development, the Microsoft Certified Database Administrator (MCDBA) certification spells success. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that database administration is expected to be among the fastest growing occupations through 2014.

The MCDBA certification is a globally recognized skill set for those operations that rely on Microsoft SQL Server databases for productivity. The certification requires the completion of three core exams and one elective exam, and MCDBA training can hone your abilities to develop, configure, secure, and optimize databases.

In 2006, CertMag called the MCDBA an expansive certification curriculum that helps verify your database skill-level and advance your career. PayScale's 2007 Salary Survey Report indicated a median annual salary for job positions with an MCDBA certification of $66,576. Target jobs for MCDBA-holders include senior database administrator, database analyst, and information technology manager.
