The Microsoft Certified Solutions Associate (MCSA) is a certification designed by Microsoft to test and validate the product knowledge and technical skills of entry-level IT professionals.

MCSA certifications are valuable for both employees and employers. Microsoft certifications outline the baseline knowledge and skills IT professionals should know at their experience level. The MCSA validates the knowledge and skills the test taker has acquired in their first year of work experience.
