MCSA 410 exam expiring

Etnies · 2017-10-05 22:23:05

I passed this 410 exam the first of 3 for the MCSA. 3 years ago. It's now due to run out in 2 months time. Because I never bothered doing the other 2. My question is if I now book and pass the 411 will it still expire at the original date or will I extend the date?

The Microsoft certs have a lifespan before expiring these days, like the Cisco certs have always had.

I'm fairly certain you can't use an expired exam towards a more major cert.
