depending on how much knowledge of win 2k you already have.. All you need is 3 tests. I think if you put it to the grind you could do those three tests in 2 months.

Actually MCSA is four exams (3 core and one elective). Here's a link to the MCSA Requirements

As for how long it takes to become certified... completely depends on your knowledge of the OS and your experience in working with it. It also helps if you've taken at least one MS exam in the past, just so you know what to expect (format, pressure-wise).

yeah, but he already has the elective with the a+, Net+
