About this project

Experience has a future.

MCSE Directory helps people make sense of old Microsoft qualifications and plan what to learn next.

Who this is for

Experienced administrators, developers, people returning to technology work, and anyone interpreting a legacy Microsoft certification on a CV.

What you will find

Historical track summaries, practical skills comparisons, and links to Microsoft’s own credential information. The initial collection focuses on the later Solutions-era MCSA, MCSE, and MCSD tracks. Earlier generations will be added as their historical requirements are verified.
