I know this may sound silly and borderline paranoid but I just wanted some clear text on the matter.

I am currently CompTIA A+ and Network+ certified and I am currently planning to be certed in MCSA. So far, I have learnt that you can credit and substitute either CompTIA's A+/Network+, A+/Server+ or Security+ for MCSA (pending on specialization).

Now this is the bit am a bit frightened about; if I credit and substitute my A+/Network+ for an MCSA elective, do my CompTIA qualifications vanish into thin air? or cease to exist?

I just got certed last week! I do not wish to lose these certs...or I am just being very paranoid? I know this sounds very naive but if someone could clarify this particular fact, I would be very grateful.

CompTIA isn't Microsoft. They're a non-profit organization whose purpose is to set a standard measurement of technical aptitude. You passed THEIR tests. You've received THEIR certifications. They don't care what you do with Microsoft or if you use your certs as credits for Microsoft's classes. In CompTIA's book, you're certified.

So just relax, and get it done. Bigger and better things are waiting for you.
