Microsoft has a limited number of spaces available for candidates to take
the beta exam 71-330 Implementing Security for Applications with Microsoft
Visual Basic .NET (exam number 70-330 when finally released). I apologize
that time is limited to take this exam, the last date the exam is available
is May 9th 2004.

This exam will hold elective credit towards the Microsoft Certifications
MCSD.NET and MCAD.NET.

For detailed information about this exam, including the typical audience for
this exam please see [url]http://www.microsoft.com/learning/exams/70-330.asp[/url]

Please note, with a beta exam your exam provider cannot inform you if you
have passed or failed immediately. You will be notified as soon as possible
after the beta period and the data has been processed.

Spaces for this beta exam will be provided on a first come first served
basis. The exam is available world-wide with the exception of China.

To register for this exam please review the information at the end of this
post.
Thanks for your help
