Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator (MCSA)

Build your information technology (IT) career with the Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator (MCSA) on Microsoft Windows Server™ 2003 credential. Here's why MCSA can be the right choice for you.

It’s adaptable. Choose the desktop and elective exams suited to your needs. We recommend Exam 70-270 for the desktop requirement and selected CompTIA exams for the elective.

It’s relevant. Get started by proving your networking skills with Exams 70-290 and 70-291. Both exams are required and each exam has training available today.

It’s valuable. The MCSA certification was introduced in October 2001. Within the first five months, over 22,000 individuals had earned the certification, making it the fastest-growing Microsoft certification
