Ok, so I filled out the form on the CompTIA website asking them to disclose my A+ and Network+ certs to MS so I can use it as my elective for the MCSA.

Has anyone else done this? I haven’t heard anything (this was over a week ago) from MS and my MCP Transcript has not been updated yet.

If nothing happens then I’ll probably just wait until I get the next MCP out of the way and get the MCSA cert sent through then. I wouldn’t mind having it now just to keep the paperwork up to date though!

 

Yeah, will probably take a few weeks and maybe even longer with the Xmas hols.

Makes sense using the MCDST as an elective as it does keep all the paperwork together!

 

Hey Sparky,

I did that route, just to get the MCSA cert a little faster

For me it took just 2 weeks, filled out the Comptia form on the 3rd of Nov 2004 and it was credited to my MS account on the 17th of Nov 2004.

Hope this helps, so if 2 weeks is the approx time, you'll be a MCSA before the year is up Great way to end the year and to start a new year.

Updated today, got a random email from MS saying congrats on my latest MCP certification, I thought this was weird as I already got this email after passing the 70-291.

Anyways, logged into the MCP site and the A+ and Network+ have been added as 'MCP -000' and also MCSA has been added. I have requested a MCSA welcome pack so Im thinking that will take around 6 weeks.

Not to fussed about the wait for the MCSA certificate but I just thought passing on the A+ and Network+ details to MS was going to be a hassle. I was wrong!

 

Nice one, another cert to add to the collection
