Upgrade from MCSA 2000 to MCSE 2003

Dear all,
I am currently MCSA 2k and wish to upgrade to MCSE 2003. The test that I
have went through were
1) 07-210
2) 07-215
3) 07-216
4) 07-217
5) 07-218

May I know what are the tests should I take to upgrade to MCSE2003? A
local training center offer me with the following courses
1) Upgrade course to MCSA 2003
2) Implementing and maintaining exchange 2003
3) Implementing and maintaining AD 2003
4) Designing AD 2003

They claim that taking these courses enable me to upgrade to MCSE2003.
Is it true? Wish some expert can give me some advise and better
recommandation.

thanks

All the info you need is on those two web sites, upgrade your MCSA 2000 to
MCSA 2003, then upgrade that to MCSE 2003. Offical sites = offical answers

Dear Wayne,
Thanks for your info. However I look at the requirement and it make me
more confuse. The MS Website saying that we need 3 core and 1 elective other
than the MCSA2k to MCSA2k3 upgrade. It seems like different from the
information given by local trainning school. They told me
1) Upgrade course to MCSA 2003
2) Implementing and maintaining exchange 2003
3) Implementing and maintaining AD 2003
4) Designing AD 2003
Well do.
However MS website mention that beside upgrade course we have to take
1)070-293
2)070-294
3)Design exam
4)Elective

Which is one exam more.

It is going to be company sponsership and I really can't affort to make
wrong decision. For the reason, I wish expert here can check for me if the
courses offered local training school will qualify me to MCSE 2003 or not.

A thousand thanks!!!
..

thanks

Keep in mind that your training school wants you to take more courses with
them. You don't need any courses to pass the exam, just knowledge. You
should look at what exams you need to pass, not what courses you need to
take. From there if you feel you must take courses, you can figure out which
ones.

 

Here is my suggestion:

1 design exam (70-219 or 220 or 221) + 1 elective to acheive MSCE 2000

70-292 + 70-296 to upgrade to MCSE 2003

Then you will have MCSA 2000/2003 & MCSE 2000/2003

Dear Hugo,
Thanks I know what you mean, get MCSE first than do a upgrade right?
Question here, can the design exam instead of going Design AD2k but go for
Design AD2k3?
thanks
