Microsoft Modern Certifications for the SBS Market

From this afternoon’s Microsoft Partner 5W/50 webcast …

New Generation Certifications: Program Overview & Certification Resources Available for the SBSC Community

**if you are already MCP certified, a program is coming (very soon) that will offer you significantly reduced priced tests**

Current offer on the table – 40% off exam at Pearson Vue with the code “nam04up”

• I’d wait for the reduced prices though which are even more significant and likely to be announced within this week or next

Todd offered his above email address to address questions, concerns, or discussions around certifications  …or if you need a connection to the Partner Learning channel. Feel free to use it and reach out to him as his door is open to Partners.

In the Q&A I quizzed them (see below snip) about the issue of the value of the SBSC credential being grouped with non-SBS content exams.   They didn’t answer it publicly but queued it for a later emailed response (in addition to an earlier one as well).  I’ll likely blog what response I receive back depending on the type and content of response.
