Dynamics CRM Certification Path

Hi All,

I am fairly new to Dynamics CRM and planning to become a professional developer for Dynamics CRM [Eventually :)].

I need some help in deciding how to speed up the process of learning and getting certified along with practical knowledge.

Would getting certified help? If so which way should I go, I see two paths available:

1 - Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist

2 - Microsoft Specialist exams for Microsoft Dynamics

(I want to focus mainly on development side, as I am already an experience .Net developer. )

Should I wait for 2015 certifications to come out?

Thanks

    It helps if you are or will work for a Consultancy. Consultancies need certified people for other purposes like partnership programs.

    Depend also of how things work on your side of the world. Consultants end up on the need to know everything, so, you could do all exams. If you are just working to a company that uses CRM but is not a vendor\consultancy, than only the technical (developing\extending) exams should be enough 

    be aware that those paths have changed, "Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist" does not apply for crm 2013. for developers is better to have the  "extend (coding)" and the "Customisation and Configuration (out of the box extensions)" of each crm version
