Question about MS Certs and Electives

Hello TE!

Does Microsoft still do electives? (Obtaining A+/Net+/Sec+/Serv+) which count towards a MCSA/MCSE or whatever it is now?

I tried getting the info, haven't really had any luck, most posts are generally 2 years old. Any help is appreciated.

I need to obtain a MS cert in the near future and just want to know how to keep costs down, or skip steps I dont need to take. I know they did this in the past, but I am not sure if they do this now?

I appreciate the help!

I think that stopped with the MCSE for Windows 2003.

What MS cert do you need to obtain?

I am going for my MCSA for Windows 8, and eventually for Server. I need this cert for a contract position.

At the current moment, I am studying for my ITIL V3, which I am taking this week, and going to a week long bootcamp for Security+. I just obtained my Server+ and A+ last month.

Microsoft doesn't have any certifications which use components from other vendors as electives anymore, at least not for any of the current MCSA or MCSE certifications.
