Microsoft certifications
Whether it’s cloud, data, AI or security: you show that you’re keeping pace with technological developments. Useful when looking for a job, aiming to grow, or wanting to stand stronger in a more digital workplace.
What exactly are they?
Microsoft certifications are official, globally recognized credentials that you earn by passing exams through Microsoft Learn or Pearson VUE.
They are role-based and divided into six domains:
Infrastructure (cloud management and Azure IaaS)
Data & AI (data platforms and machine learning)
Digital & App Innovation (application development and DevOps)
Modern Work (Microsoft 365 and Teams)
Business Applications (Dynamics 365 and Power Platform)
Security (identity management and compliance)
Each domain offers three levels:
Fundamentals – for beginners with no experience
Associate – for professionals with some experience
