mcsa 2000 to mcsa 2003

pob579

cannot find information about moving from mcsa 2000 to mcsa 2003.

the situation:
I have 3 mcp - 218;215;210. To make mcsa 2000 I need one elective exam.


For mcsa 2003 only 210 counts as a core. So I have to pass 3 more (2cores and 1 elective).

I found that there are many electives that are OK for both 2000 and 2003 mcsa.
So if I will take one elective that is OK for both I get mcsa 2000. And can apply it to mcsa 2003.
In this case for 2003 cert I will need 2 more core.

My question: is there shortcut from 2000 to 2003 certification?

I would do your elective to get MCSA in 2000. You will then only have to do 1 upgrade exam (70-292) to achieve MCSA in 20003.

Thanks.
I was waiting for this type of answer
So I have to pass only two EXAMS and will have mcsa 2000 and 2003.

For other "what ifs", When you log into your MCP member's site, there is a certificate planner that tells you what you need for the various certificates, and how your current exams will fit in.

Yeeh I just returned to this page after couple of years.
Getting MCSA will bring a raise (was promised .

I just finished to build my beatifull CISCO lab and received CISCO press for CCNA.
Unfortunately have to put it aside for now.

I found that I am not to far from MCSA. My previous MCPs worth something

Thanks.
