Microsoft Pushes MCSA with Charter Membership


1/9/2002 -- Microsoft announced recently that it will issue special-edition wallet cards embellished with the phrase "Charter Member MCSA" to the first 5,000 candidates who eventually satisfy the requirements of the new Microsoft Certified Systems Administration title. The title is expected to be obtainable around Jan. 22, which is the expected release date of the 70-218, Managing a Windows 2000 Network Environment exam.

The gesture is similar to the one that the company extended to the first 2,000 MCSEs on Windows 2000.

Microsoft said it will send out the Charter Member MCSA kits to MCSAs in February. For details on the Charter Member MCSA as well as more on how to achieve this title, click here.  -MCPMag.com.

1/13/02: TechNut112 from NewYork says: Just ACED 70-210 and 70-219. What more do I need to ace the MCSA? I am taking 70-215 and 70-217 on Thurs and Fri.
1/13/02: TechNut112 from NewYork says: Does know of a good site to find reference material for the 70-218 test they are mentioning above?
1/14/02: Get Real says: Dude, relax. Certs are like drugs. Once you start with one, you can't stop. The "wallet sized" card still won't add a shred of value to an MCSA cert. GROW UP!!!
1/14/02: Wayne says: Does any have a good guess how much an A plus instructor earns or charges for classes?
1/15/02: Great, another card! says: Hey guys, I have in my wallet, a MCP NT 4.0 card, MCP+I/MCSE NT 4.0 card, an MCSE Windows 2000 Early Achiever card, and a CCA card for Citrix Metaframe 1.8, and the only thing I got was I ran out of room in my wallet for important stuff. You'll never show the card to anyone anyway. It's Micro$osfts way of pushing the cert quicker.
1/17/02: Anonymous says: Yippie.
1/20/02: BD says: TechNut112: There's a 132 pages CramSession on Brainbuzz.com and 8wire.com as started a 5 parts article w. prep. material for 70-218 ..
1/20/02: E.T. from Pluto says: Hi Wayne, I teach in a Vo-Tech APlus,NetPlus,ServerPlus and LinuxPlus. I am getting pay around 34K plus benefits. This is around 16 dollars an hour. In 36-48 hours courses (short courses) the instructor get paid around 12-14 dollars an hour.
1/21/02: Anonymous says: A+ doesnt apply alone
1/22/02: Stroker Ace from pweeka-pweeka says: I just passed the 218 exam this morning to earn the MCSA. I think it's a pretty lame cert, but as long as Microsoft is hyping it, and ignorance still abounds, I'm glad I got it. For example: I was turned down for a position as a technical instructor a couple of years ago. Why? The owners (who interviewed me) said that the other candidate had an MCPplusI and I didn't. This, when I had been an MCSE on NT 3.5 and 4.0, for several years! It's four more letters on your resume, and I'll bet you nobody in HR will ever know the difference.
