SQL 2005 Upgrade Exams Expire 31st July 2012

The SQL 2005 to 2008 upgrade exams expire on 31st July 2012. This includes:

• Exam 70-453: Upgrade: Transition Your MCITP SQL Server 2005 DBA to MCITP SQL Server 2008 DBA
• Exam 70-454: Upgrade: Transition Your MCITP SQL Server 2005 DBD to MCITP SQL Server 2008 DBD
• Exam 70-455: Upgrade: Transition Your MCITP SQL Server 2005 BI Developer to MCITP SQL Server 2008 BI Developer

To be honest it’s probably worth starting again on the SQL Server 2012 exams if you haven’t upgraded to 2008 at this point.
