The Exchange Server 2010 MCITP certification is geared towards IT professionals who are responsible for managing Exchange messaging in an enterprise environment.

Officially named Microsoft Certified IT Professional: Designing and Deploying Messaging Solutions with Microsoft Exchange Server 2010, the certification requires completion of the 70-663 exam, which will earn you the title of MCITP: Enterprise Messaging Administrator 2010.

Train Signal recently released their new Exchange Server 2010 Design and Deployment Training which includes complete coverage of the 70-663 exam. Taught by Microsoft MVP for Exchange, J. Peter Bruzzese, the training teaches you how to design and deploy Exchange 2010 infrastructure, security, high availability, and more.

There is also an Exchange Server 2010 MCITP Training Package available for those who still need to complete the 70-662 Exchange Server 2010 Configuring exam before going for the more advanced Exchange design route.
Conclusion

The Exchange Server 2010 MCITP 70-663 exam is geared towards high level, experienced ...
... IT professionals with a long background in Exchange Server. This is one of the more complex and “across the board” exams available from Microsoft exam, so training and an excess of study time will be an important factor in passing the exam. I usually recommend two or more types of training before taking any exam, however, being how in-depth this exam goes, I’d like to change that a bit by recommending a third option.

Your first two options should, of course, be video and book trainings, such as those offered by Train Signal and Microsoft Publishing partners. However, as a third option, Microsoft Learning offers 5-10 day trainings on this exam specifically. It’s important to note that even these trainings provided by Microsoft do not cover every aspect listed in the skills above, so maintaining multiple training sources will be your best bet. Your experience, skills, and training together will bring you to success.

Good luck on your exam!
As Microsoft explains on 70-680 site, the Exchange MCITP candidate would be the third level of support between the Exchange Recipient Administrator and the Exchange Server Administrator. Furthermore, the candidate would be a senior administrator who acts as the technical lead over a team of administrators (as shown above.)
