MCITP SA v. EA

Question

Sign in to vote

Is the MCITP EA and SA like the MCSE and MCSA where as if you have your EA you are pretty much also considered to have your SA as well?

I was just wondering if it would be worth it for me to get my SA than my EA, my goal is to get my EA just not sure if I should spend my time trying to get my SA first. I will have my MCSA 2003 before I start as well. I am two exams away.

Thank You
Eric

EA and SA certifications are different. They are only are similair concerning 2 exams (70-640 and 70-642). As far as deciding which one is best for you; that is your choice. It solely depends on what "job-specific" role you perform - and what you have the most proficiency in.

Review the following and it should clear up any doubt you may have between the two:
