MCSA Elective, Network+ and WHICH A+ OS or Core

bashy

Topic says it all, I'm trying to figure out which A+ I need to take as I've just passed the Network+ to go with the 270,290,291. Do I only need to take ONE of them or BOTH?


Thank guys.

You need to take both the A+ OS and the A+ Core exam to become A+ certified.

Just keep in mind, though: if you ever plan on moving up to MCSE, you'll need to take another elective, or take Security+. Microsoft no longer honors A+ & Net+ (or Server+) towards the MCSE, only the MCSA. They'll only give credit towards MCSE for the Security+.

yes I've read about that however I decided to go with the Network+ / A+ since I see that the Sec+ was about to get updated. I'll go with the Sec+ at a later date.
