If you’re ready to progress in your IT career, MCSA (Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator) or MCSE (Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer) certification could be just the ticket. Successfully completing either of these globally recognised professional qualifications can lead to promotion, pay rises and job offers that may have seemed previously out of reach.
With Microsoft systems at the heart of many of the world’s major businesses, job opportunities for qualified professionals are rarely in short supply. All you need to do is decide whether to opt for Microsoft MCSA or MCSE certification.
Troubleshooting systems – MCSA
Training to manage systems on a day-to-day basis and troubleshoot when problems arise are both covered in the Microsoft MCSA course. Although you may already be performing many of these functions in your current IT role, MCSA training and certification will offer you the edge at work.
IT professionals who have completed MCSA training say that it gives you a distinct advantage when it comes to being considered for promotion. They also report increased respect at work, from both their bosses and their peers. Generally a minimum of six months experience of systems management is required if you want to study for a Microsoft MCSA, but this is not always necessary.
Setting up systems – MCSE
Study for MCSE certification and you’ll be qualified to plan and design server systems for a wide range of companies. You’ll be taking charge of major systems projects, often for major blue chip companies – and naturally reaping the financial rewards that such challenges offer.
MCSE certification will prove to employers that you’ve got the skills to undertake these large projects and it will open doors that may have been closed to you. So if you’re ready for a challenge, and have at least a years’ IT experience, MCSE certification is for you.
MCSA training and MCSE study – the easy way
Convinced it’s time to step up to the plate and prove your worth? There’s no need to take time away from your regular work commitments to complete either Microsoft MCSA or MCSE, study instead at home with a specialist IT distance learning provider.

It’s also possible to take advantage of multimedia teaching tools, invaluable support from expert teachers and career advice.
Starting Microsoft training
The good news is that you won’t need to spend years studying for a Microsoft Administrator Course. Study, on average, a couple of evenings a week and you’ll soon be well on the way to unlocking your true potential. There’s no need to wait until Autumn to start either, you can begin your course whenever you’re ready. The sooner you get going, the quicker you’ll qualify and begin to reap the benefits of your new skills.
