AnswerEnterprise Developer MCPD (Exam 70-565) Pre-requisites?

    Hi all,
    I'm slightly confused as to the pre-requisites for the above exam (70-565).
    Accordind to this link, the requisites are as follows:
    • 70-536 (Foundation)
    • 70-505 (Windows Forms 3.5)
    • 70-562 (ASP .Net 3.5)
    • 70-561 (ADO .Net 3.5)
    • 70-503 (WCF)
    However, according to my training provider this is not the case, they say any combination of three MCTS along with exam 70-536 can be used as a foundation for the Enterprise Developer exam. Here is a quote from an email from them:
    "I have spoken to our Microsoft product specialists regarding your query and they have confirmed that the three MCTS exams that we have discussed(70-502, 70-504, 70-503) qualify as pre requisites for the Enterprise Developer Exam (70-565)."

    Can anyone clarify this? This is quoted on a lot of their promotional and informational material, and a supposed 'Microsoft Certification Specialist' confirmed it but it seems to conflict with other posts on these forums.
    Many thanks in advance,
    S Armondi

    They dont qualify at all.. you are correct in your original assesment.

    Your training provider has it incorrect (which is quite strange)

    I can tell you here and now its is 4 MCTS (ASP.NET, ADO.NET, WCF and Windows Forms) and 1 more exam 70-565 get you the MCPD Enterprise Dev 3.5

    It was never the case that those other three qualified you as an Enterprise Dev

    Hey guys I have one question... I'm almost done with all the preconditions exams, so I have started to check for documentation and info about this 70-565 but I'm surprised there is nothing, null, nada, zero. No tests in measure up, nor in test king or other test simulators, no books, no self training kits, no Microsoft press.

    Do you have any idea where to find something? Will the documentation for the MCPD 2.0 enterprise developer work for the 3.5 exam?

    I will really appreciate your help as I expect to start working on in it on December....

    Thanks
