微軟認證專業程式開發人員

微軟認證專業程式開發人員（MCPD）是微軟為程式開發人員所設計的中級認證，其等級與MCITP相同，是以特定的任務（job）為測驗的標的，與MCTS只考程式開發的技能不同，也因為MCTS已測驗過程式開發的能力，因此MCPD的考試是著重於設計與發展應用程式的整體架構與組成的能力，設計決策（Design Decision）是 MCPD的考試主軸，因此如果沒有相當經驗的考生，想通過MCPD的測驗是相當困難，也因此，MCPD自2005年底推行以來，考過MCPD:Enterprise Application Developer（與過去MCSD同級）的人數也只有MCSD人數的1/5左右（6,567人）。

2012年微軟重新啟用MCSD稱號，所以MCPD會慢慢隨著相關考試停考而走入歷史。
