I would suggest starting with CompTIA A+ and then Network+. Without an IT background or any work experience, the MCITP probably wont do a whole lot for you. Many on here go for a help desk position and work their way up. Those two CompTIA certs are ideal for this path.

Hi,

You may take MCTS certification first and then go for MCITP. MCTS certification will help you to understand the related technology in better way and after than you can continue moving on your certification path with MCITP. You can earn multiple MCTS certifications based on different technologies.

Thanks!

MCITP is not a certification. It is a certification program from Microsoft consisting of several certifications in different products. Every MCITP certification includes subset MCTS certifications. The most common MCITP certification and most recognized is MCITP: Enterprise Administrator, followed by Server Administrator.

As far as starting your career goes, A+ is a far more common starting point. A typical path with be A+, Net+, MCTS (specifically 70-680: Windows 7, configuration), MCITP.
