Microsoft Certification: Simplifying the Journey

We’re evolving our certification program and streamlining the journey, based on your feedback, to make things simpler and more relevant for you and your learners. Over the coming weeks, the certification tools and resources you use will have a fresh new look and will be all in one place. With easy-to-access digital badging, you and your learners can still get recognized and unlock benefits, share verified achievements when applying for that next job, or download your badge to use as a logo. Certification Marketplace is retiring, but your Certification Dashboard will still include your transcript, certificates, and exam scores. As an MCT, you will still have access to Certification Marketplace to get your MCT Welcome Kits and Anniversary Awards. Our goal remains to help learners get hired, get recognized, and get ahead—and to provide you with what you need along the way. Find out more.

------

So what we have here :

• New certification program, with new badges and new skill role-based.
• Fresh certification tools and new certification ressources all in one place coming soon.
• Certification Marketplace is retiring but MCT will still have Access to it.

Transition Exams Now Available

Have you or your students already passed 70-532, 70-533, or 70-535? Consider taking a transition exam for only $99 in the United States (price varies by country/region and is reflected during registration process). Transition exams cover the delta between the skills and concepts required to earn the existing certifications and those covered in the new role-based exams. For example, someone who has passed 70-533: Implementing Microsoft Azure Infrastructure Solutions can take AZ-102: Microsoft Azure Administrator Certification Transition (rather than taking both AZ-100 and AZ-101). The three Azure transition exams retire on March 31, 2019. Find out more about transition exams.
