MCSA
MCSA
MCSA (Microsoft Certified Solutions Associate) is a certification program intended for people who seek entry-level jobs in an IT (information technology) environment. MCSA is a prerequisite for more advanced Microsoft certifications.
The MCSA credential supplants the now defunct Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator certification. Students can select any of the following specialty areas:
- Windows Server 2008
- Windows Server 2012
- SQL Server 2012
- Windows 7
- Windows 8
As they advance in the MCP program, professionals can gain any or all of the following certifications:
- Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE)
- Microsoft Certified Solutions Developer (MCSD)
- Microsoft Certified Product Specialist (MCPS)
- Microsoft Certified Trainer (MCT)
To prepare for the MCP exams, students can take courses at a certified training company location, in certified courses in a high school or college, or through self-study at Microsoft's self-study Web site or through certified training materials. Students who do not feel ready for MCSA can obtain the more
basic MTA (Microsoft Technology Associate) certification first.

Career Scope
Server levels, as well as more specialized job roles that include SQL Server and Office 365.
The MCSA is a prerequisite to all of the various flavors of Microsoft Certified Solutions Expert (MCSE) certification, which have long ruled the hearts and minds of those who work on Microsoft-based systems and servers. MCSE certifications focus on the latest technologies for servers, desktops, private clouds, databases, business intelligence, messaging, communication and collaboration.
MCSA: Windows Server 2012 is a gateway certification that feeds into the MCSE:Server Infrastructure
MCSE: Desktop Infrastructure and MCSE: Private Cloud certifications, so we focus on the MCSA: Windows Server 2012 certification in the table below. And, if you currently hold the MCSA: Windows Server 2008 or one of the Microsoft Certified IT Professional (MCITP) certs, you can upgrade to the MCSA: Windows Server 2012 certification or one of the aforementioned MCSE certs.
With Windows 10 and a new version of Windows Server due for general availability in the second half of 2015, it's likely that additional certifications for Windows Server will be announced and forthcoming soon. Though it will take time for organizations and enterprises to catch up with those new versions, there will be more opportunities for system administrators to add to their cert portfolios as a result.
