Obtaining MCSE and MCDBA Simultaneously
|
|
| Boba Fett 2003-10-17, 6:23 pm |
| Is it permitted/possible to use the overlap between the
core and elective requirements for the MCSE and MCDBA
certifications to obtain both simultaneously; i.e., use
the SQL 2000 core exams as the 2 electives for the MCSE
after passing the rest of the MCSE track. By doing this
all of the core and elective requirements are met for both
certs - I was just wondering if Microsoft has put some
kind of restriction on using one passed exam and applying
that same passed exam to obtain another cert.

| No, you can do that.

do that.

| No, this can be done, but the overlap allows for it. See below.

| It's hard to tell from these posts - but everybody agrees AFAICT... :->
The MS certification web site contains information about how overlaps are
permitted.

Yes, it is possible to do the 2 SQL server exams as
electives for your MCSE and come away with the MCDBA
certification aswell.
I know, because I did it.
