I asked EC about the coding on the Status Reports and the Network+ here is their response

Quote:
CompTia certification exam Network + does satisfy the Networking requirement. The Microsoft certification and remaining Comp Tia certification exams you completed are all Management of Information Systems electives, and do not satisfy the concentration subjects. The code of II symbolizes a Management of Information Systems elective.


I had asked if any MS cert would qualify for the Database Management requirement:

Quote:
MST*254 would not satisfy the Database Management requirement. None of the Microsoft certifications exams would satisfy the Database Management requirement. The Database Management course would need to include introduction to database management systems, review of logical and physical database, data independence, elimination of data redundancy, security, comparison of hierarchical, and relational and network models. Actual use of at least one database management system is highly recommended.
You could take one of the following online courses for Database Management:

Athabasca University
Athabasca University - Canada's Leader in Online & Distance Education
COMP*378: Introduction to Database Management

Limestone College
Limestone College Virtual Campus Home Page
CST*305: Database Management

Park University
Park University - Online, Undergraduate, and Graduate Degrees
CS*360: Database Management


Quote:
None of the certifications you have completed would satisfy the BMI concentration subjects. You could take the following ICCP exams for the BMI concentration subjects:

Business Programming Language - COBOL, Pascal, C or C++ Language
Database Management - Data Base Administration
Systems Analysis and Design - Object Oriented Analysis and Design or Systems Development

Also:
Quote:
Our faculty has reviewed the ICCP: IT Core exam, and you would receive the following:

2 lower level credits in Introduction to System Analysis - satisfies the System Analysis and Design requirement
2 lower level credits in Introduction to Database Management - satisfies the Database Management requirement

The rest of the credits from the ICCP: IT Core exam would duplicate credit on your Status Report, or be excess business credits.
