Reminders: Certification Dashboard Changes and Badge Sharing
Microsoft Learning recently announced the changes to our Microsoft Certification program (see
Microsoft Certification: Simplifying the Journey). The announcement noted that the MCP Profile feature and Certification Marketplace will no longer be available after October 31, 2018. All your certification information—transcripts, downloadable
certificates, and exam scores—will still be on your
Microsoft Certification Dashboard. And remember, Microsoft offers a digital badge as a verified credential that reflects the skills you’ve built. You can choose to
share your badge through the Certification Dashboard on any professional profile or network, including LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, and other social media, so hiring managers and recruiters can easily see your achievements. For more information on
Microsoft’s digital badging program, check out our
badging page.

Azure Transition Exams Extended to June 30, 2019
By popular demand, we are extending the retirement date for the following Azure transition exams from March 31, 2019, to June 30, 2019.
- AZ-102:
Microsoft Azure Administrator Certification Transition
- AZ-202:
Microsoft Azure Developer Certification Transition
- AZ-302:
Microsoft Azure Solutions Architect Certification Transition
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 and are an excellent
option for anyone who has passed
70-532,
70-533, or
70-535. For example, if you have passed 70-533: Implementing Microsoft Azure Infrastructure Solutions, you can take AZ-102: Microsoft Azure Administrator Certification Transition (rather than taking both AZ-100 and AZ-101). Exams 70-532, 70-533,
and 70-535 will still retire on December 31, 2018, as originally announced.
Find out more about transition exams and their
$99 USD price, which varies by country/region.
