CCNA vs MCSA in Pakistan (Careervision Training Institute Islamabad)

The Microsoft Certified Solutions Associate (MCSA) and the Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) certifications are vastly different, but many IT professionals will obtain both. While there’s some overlap in some Microsoft networking certifications, CCNA validates knowledge about different products types and prepare test takers for different IT roles.

The biggest difference between CCNA and MCSA are the companies’ respective approaches to certifications. Microsoft certifications are largely product-based. For instance, the MCSA library comprises dozens of certifications that validate knowledge about Microsoft products, including Windows, Server, SQL Server, Dynamics, and Office.

Cisco has a robust certification program that’s more role-centric. Their certification exams cover topics like routing and switching, security, collaboration, and wireless. Cisco certifications also test product knowledge, but typically within the context of a network.

There is one similarity between the MCSA and CCNA certifications — they are both entry-level certifications. System and network administrators are typically responsible for managing both Cisco and Microsoft products. For that reason, it’s not uncommon for IT professionals to earn both the MCSA and CCNA certifications relevant to their job roles.

How to get an MCSA certification

Since Microsoft recommends at least one year of experience with technology before attempting an MCSA exam, IT professionals should earn MCSA certifications that best match their job roles and responsibilities. However, there are no firm prerequisites required to sit for an MCSA exam. For individuals with less than a year of experience, the foundational Microsoft Technology Association (MTA) certifications might be a better place to start. Otherwise, Microsoft offers various MCSA certifications, which largely map to their product and services.

Each certification requires passing at least two exams, but several require three. Here are the current MCSA certifications and their required exams.

Microsoft exams have a reputation for being challenging, and it’s not uncommon for learners to take an exam more than once. Microsoft is aware that their exams are difficult. Most years, it offers an Exam Replay, allowing an exam retake at a fraction of the original cost. Because Exam Replay availability varies by exam, test takers should regularly check their availability for certain exams.

MCSA certifications are relatively inexpensive compared to certifications offered by other vendors. But like any certification, additional costs will be accrued in MCSA training material.

MCSA Renewal (Microsoft Certificate do not Expire).

Good thing is that MCSA certifications do not expire or require renewal. MCSA holders can find all their certifications listed on their official Microsoft Certified Professional Transcript classified as “Active” or “Legacy”. Certifications will remain in “Active” status until Microsoft retires the exam. Microsoft retires exams when the product or service associated with an exam reaches its end of life. When that happens, the certification will be listed as “Legacy.” But, it’s not expired.

Information technology has a diverse set of job roles and titles. With more than a dozen MCSA certifications that span the entire universe of Microsoft products, IT professionals who earn these certs can expect disparate and varying salary ranges.

While certifications are valuable on their own, they are even more valuable combined with commensurate experience, education, and complementary technical skills. It’s also important to note that salary ranges vary greatly among industry and geography.

MCSA Certification Training

Selecting the right training materials is essential for IT professionals studying for an MCSA exam. Microsoft exams are notoriously difficult and require intimate hands-on knowledge of the product or services being tested. The best Microsoft training material provides not only instruction but also the opportunity for hands-on experience and practice exams.

What is the difference between MCSA and MCSE?

These are two levels of Microsoft Certifications, in which  MCSA is an entry-level wherease MCSE is expert level certificate. Not only do they have separate requirements and validate different skills, but the two exams also prepare learners for different IT career roles.

The Microsoft Certified Solutions Associate (MCSA) is an entry-level Microsoft certification that validates the basic knowledge and skills for installing/configuring services on Microsoft Server 2016.

MCSE (Microsoft Certified Solution Expert) are expert-level certification tracks. While the MCSA is a three-exam series, the MCSE only requires passing one exam. However, MCSE is a stage next to MCSA to become an Microsoft Solution Expert.

MCSE (Microsoft Certified Solution Expert is an expert-level Microsoft certification. While the MCSA is a three-exam series, the MCSE only requires passing one exam. However, MCSE validates a higher level of expertise than MCSA. It may only require an additional exam to earn the MCSE, but the subject matter is more difficult and technically in-depth than the MCSA. The MCSE typically qualifies the recipient for management roles like IT manager or senior technical roles.Reference from Source: blog of Michael Hess (Microsoft) & Ali Zohaib
