MCSE is stands for "Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer".. with this certification. you can get job regarding system engg.. But the All work is Done In LAN(Local Area Networking). with Hubs and Swithces

CCNA stands for "CISCO Certified Network Associate " The Work Done In CCNA with routers..... This is On Demands Certification....

If you are already in the Networking system then I will suggest you to go for CCNA certification, Cisco offers two possible exam track options of either one or two exams.

1. The Single Exam Approach
   
   
   • Exam Number: 640-802 CCNA
   • The exam consists of 50-60 questions over 90 minutes and covers all CCNA exam topics
   
   
2. The Two Exam Approach
   
   • Exam Numbers: ICND1 and ICND2
   • The two exam approach consists of 640-822 ICND1 and 640-816 ICND2
   • 640-822 ICND1 consists of 50-60 questions over 90 minutes
   • 640-816 ICND2 consists of 45-55 questions over 75 minutes

But If you have not enough time to prepare to yourself then Only one exam required to become a CCNA and it covers all topics, Single Exam would be More time efficient than taking two exams, More cost effective than taking two exams. Exam cost when taking this approach is $150.00 US versus $125.00 US each for the Two Exam approach. This becomes 7,500 to 8,000 for this examination
