I&#x27;ve worked for several MSPs this is my experience.<p>They are very keen on getting employees with existing certs or getting current employees to actively be getting more certs.<p>There are specific incentives from microsoft based on how many employees have certain levels of microsoft certification.  it comes with discounts and marketing materials&#x2F;privileges (Who doesnt want to say they are a Microsoft certified Gold support partner?)<p>As such, it is conveniently ignored that the guy with an MCSE isnt going to get fired because their gold level partnership lapses if they dont keep X number of MCSEs on staff
