Hey,

What certification in particular are you looking towards?

By registering with the website that you linked to you can create study plans that will help you towards the certification that you are looking to do. This includes MSDN articles that are of use, Web Casts, Books, and training courses that you can go on. You don't necessarily have to do all of these things to acheive the certification that you want, but they give you an idea of what is available.

I am personally studying for an MCPD in ASP.NET 2.0, and am working pretty much solely from the Microsoft Press books that are avialable, see here:

So far, i have found these books to be very good, and cover everything that is needed.

Included in the books is everything that you need to get started, including practice exams, a trial version of Visual Studio, and a discount voucher for taking the exam. The exams (as I understand it) are controlled by Prometric, so you will need to register with them for actually sitting the exam at one of their test centres.

I guess you need to decide which exam you want to do, and then set about getting the information that is available to help you prepare for it, and to be honest, there is a wealth of information out there.

I hope the above help!!
