(A+) + (Network+ or Server+) = MCSA

Use your CompTIA certifications to get MCSA Certified.

With the costs of training and certification running into the thousands, why not get the most for your money? Microsoft has decided to let CompTIA certifications qualify as an elective for the Microsoft Certified System Administrator (MCSA) for Windows 2000 program. If you have a CompTIA cert (A+, Network+, or Server+), you can use two of these to replace the elective exam for the MCSA certification. This leaves you with the three remaining core exams for the MCSA.

A+ and Network+ or A+ and Server+

With two highly respected vendor neutral certifications and an MCSA up you sleeve, you will be well-prepared for a career in IT.
