Ron Jacobs interviews 11-year old Arfa Karim Randhawa, the “world’s youngest Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP)”. What are your thoughts? Video after the jump.

Arfa Karim Randhawa is one of the most mature 11 year old girls you are ever going to meet. And not only that, she is the youngest Microsoft Certified Professional - a title that allowed her to meet Bill Gates and President Musaraf at just 10 years old

Good for her, but is she a Developer or a Programmer?

"MCP is so easy even a 10 year old can get it."
At least, I think this is what alot of people would think. The whole MCP program looses a bit of credibility in the eyes of people who haven't passed an MCP certification themselves.

Having taken and passed 10 MCP "adaptive" tests (four of which were a four hour marathon - free Windows 2000 MCSE upgrade), my findings are that they bare little resemblance to real world scenarios. MCP tests are all about "jumping through hoops" - silly complex hoops!

How on earth a 12 year old is able to give the correct nonsence answers, to the nonsence questions is beyond me! Well done!

I think her time would be better spent learning programming skills,
or ANYTHING, rather than the bollocks Microsoft MCP questions / answers.

I will never again take another MCP. They have always been pointless, other than as a study guide. If they are required to get Microsoft certified partner accreditation, "God help you!" oh, and "get a life!"
