Just to throw my two cents in, I was also provided the same
information that Paul Jones is providing in my New Horizons class. The
instructor stated that A+ and Net+ can be used to fill the elective
requirements of the MCSA portion, but they could not be "reused" to
apply to the MCSE. He stated that I would be required to take the Sec+
for the MCSE if I wanted to use it as an alternate elective.



That doesn't seem to make sense. There are several exams that are listed as
electives for both the MCSA and the MCSE, and they all can be "reused". In
fact, I believe that the only thing you have to do to "upgrade" an MCSA
(Win2003) to an MCSE (Win2003) is take the two extra core exams (70-293,
70-294), and one of the two design exams (70-297 or 70-298).

Makes sense or not. You CANNOT use any CompTIA credential but Security+
as an elective for an MCSE.
This has always been the case.
The page that is on the Australian site is exactly the same one as used
to be on the main US site.
Do you think it is different just for an Australian MCSE? Of course not!
