I have gone to a computer repair school. I just don't have the A+ certification.

Actually one doesn't go for the MCSA or MCSE certification, these are both a compilation of other certifications that microsoft recognises to give you them, you can get the list of what certifications you can get to be recognised as an MCSA, and I think A+ and N+ are ones you can indeed use. I've got MCP, A+ and N+, if I ever get two networking certifications I could get an MCSA. A+ is easy anyway, I knew more than half of the information before I started.

No, it's not necessary. A+ deals primarily with hardware, while the MCSA/MCSE deals more with software engineering/networking. However, it's been my experience in the field that you need to have a solid background in hardware, particularly SCSI, to design/maintain/administer networks. I never got the A+ (though I took the course), but I use the knowledge daily.

No, it's not a prerequisite.
