What do you mean by MCA? Are you referring to the Microsoft Certified Architect, which is very high level certification, or are you referring to something else?Andy

I was thinking the same thing. If you want the MCA go the MCSA\MCSE route. If you wanna get your hands in the routers and switches go the Cisco route.An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes which can be made. -

Because he mentioned BCA and it seems that the MCA he is referring to is related, I think he means something other then the Microsoft certs. Maybe like a bachelors degree vs a masters degree, but I have no idea.Andy

I think MCA is a typo for MCSA.A+ Certified - Network+ - MCP (70-290)
MCSA - CCNA - Security+ (soon) -

I have very poor depth perception, hence frequently find myself out of it.

Nothing can really compare to a masters degree from an accredited college or university. there is a big difference in college and certifications. Although i had an instructor from school that was teaching and tasking his masters at a different school. a CCNP was a prerequisite for the MIT(masters of IT) final project or thesis.There is no place like 127.0.0.1 BUT 209.62.5.3 is my 127.0.0.1 away from 127.0.0.1!

As far as educational equivilancy goes, there isnt really much common ground with the vedor specific qualifications, in my experiance anyway although im not an authority!
. to give a rough parallel, the Open University in the UK do the CCNA as a module towards a dergree in IT, the degree being awarded on a points basis where-by you accumulate points for OU courses. The CCNA is worth 30 points to a degree that requires 360 points total. I dont know how it works in the US but i would assume there are similar schemes?
so that considered i suppose CCIE would be getting on for degree level in one qualification, maybe?I have very poor depth perception, hence frequently find myself out of it.
