Credential retirement

Why credentials get retired

Technology changes faster every year. To keep our credentialing program relevant, we continually review our Applied Skills scenarios and Certifications to ensure they reflect the latest skills and Microsoft technologies and retire those that are no longer relevant. Our goal is to empower candidates to be on the leading edge of tech by allowing them to validate relevant, real-world skills needed to solve critical business problems and perform job roles that are needed for organizations to achieve their digital transformation goals.

Once the Certification expires, it will move the Historical Certifications section of your transcript.
