My company has indicated that they would like me to become MCSA
certified. They've said that a specialization isn't necessary, just
the base level MCSA. They have also said they would prefer the MCSA
for 2003 to the equivalent next generation cert by Microsoft as most
of our customers have no Vista plans at this time.
I know that Microsoft has said the MCSA (and MCSE) will never be
expired and will always be recognized. Their value will just diminish
as companies slowly migrate to Vista.
This is my question. The MCSA is basically the exams 70-290, 70-291,
and 70-270 (already passed) and an elective (already earned).
Will Microsoft at some point stop administering the 70-290 and 70-291
exams even though the cert itself won't be expired or retired?
Just trying to get a good idea of how long I have to get the MCSA 2003
done before the exams are no longer available. I know the cert won't
be expired but I'm guessing, at some point, the exams won't be offered
anymore.
Can anyone advise?
Thanks
Drew
