Microsoft Replaces Azure Certifications

The Microsoft has recently admitted that the certifications which are created for the Azure admin are not that better.

Microsoft’s Liberty Munson in a post mention two reasons for this, and the first of is that the company have gotten constant feedback that the current Azure exams of the Microsoft are too extensive and also covering a range of skills that very few individuals and even the experts in that area would have.

And the second one is that the company have been conducting research which is related to the value of the certification. And it has also found people who get certification not only to build or update the skills on a specific technology but also to differentiate themselves from some other professionals, improve job opportunities, and to have more persuade an impact in their current or future job role options.

Which line has the Microsoft pushed about its certifications for years?

Whatever anyone thinks of the Microsoft’s reasons, but it has only used them to notify the creations of a new “Azure Administrator” certification. And for acquiring it, the user will need to pass two exams that are:

·        AZ-100: Microsoft Azure Infrastructure and Deployment 

·        AZ-101: Microsoft Azure Integration and Security Program.

However, both the exams have some discount code which is as follows AZ100TRAVELING and AZ101HIKING respectively.

There is also an exam named as AZ-102: Microsoft Azure Administrator Certification Transition, it’s an exam for those who have gone part of the way down from the Microsoft’s current Azure certification track.

Microsoft also said that the new certs now have been removed and the stuff which is out of the scope for most of the Azure Administrators and also ensuring that certifications assess more of the skills that anyone actually needs to be successful.

However, the hard-earned experience is a much better indicator of skill than the exams of the vendors’. But with the Azure is being rather new and also have had much experience on the platform. Since the Microsoft might be onto remarkable this time with its mantra that certs = credibility with employers = fatter paycheques. Now especially it has added stuff that the users actually need to know to its new Azure certs.
