MCTS certificate   

Hi,
I am working as BizTalk development, mostly related to EDI and DB projects. 
I learnt them myself. Now I would like to get some proper training and 
certificate as well. I am living in Toronto, Canada. 
Where can I get worth full BizTalk training? Is there any certification 
program? 
Does MCTS BizTalk Server 2006 exam is useful one? Does Microsoft have same 
test for BizTalk 2006 R2? Is there any good place to learn for in Canada?

Thank you,

Siva

Hi Siva,
There is only one MCTS for BizTalk currently and it is geared to R1.
It is a good test and can be a little hard because the breadth of
coverage.  I took it last month and it had a lot of BAM and Business
Rules stuff I hadn't used in the field so I was really glad I
studied.  I think it's actually a pretty good test because I got
perfect scores on the stuff I do every day and lower and lower scores
on the stuff I don't (that I just studied for).  Not sure about the
trainning, but I'm sure Toronto has plenty.

Find a course here: http://www.microsoft.com/learning/training/find/findcourse.mspx

Find info about the course and exam here: http://www.microsoft.com/learning/exams/70-235.mspx

Kind Regards,
-Dan
