Newbie Question: Do I need any other certs b4 taking 70-270?

Hello everyone,

I've just earned my A+ cert. and now working my way to become MCSE. My first step is taking the 70-270 to become MCP. On Microsoft site's offering courses in this section, their prerequisites are A+ and Network+. Do you guys think I should have Net+ before attempting this?

I have been using Win XP pro for the pass 3-4 years on my personal PC. I don't have any professional experience besides my personal everyday use. I've built and installed Xp on my PC. My PC is in top shape with no virus or spyware. So what do you guys think? Thx in advance for your advice.

Network+ would probably help, but I think you could do the 70-270 exam without it. Just my opinion...

I agree. If you take the Network+, it'll prepare you that much more for 70-270, but it's not necessary.

no need. there are no requirements for the 270, though ideally you will have some experience in it.
