Course overview
The Microsoft Certified Associate is a new breed of Microsoft certification. It is referred to as a ‘role-based certification’. According to Microsoft, role-based certifications show that individuals that possess them are keeping pace with today’s technical roles and requirements. They allow a learner to upskill and prove their expertise to employers and peers, plus get the recognition and opportunities they’ve earned.
Upon completion of this course, you’ll receive one Microsoft 365 Fundamentals ‘Acclaim’ badge and two Microsoft 365 Associate ‘Acclaim’ badges that you can add to your CV or social media profile for prospective employers to see. You’ll also receive three Microsoft certifications (1 x Microsoft 365 Fundamentals, and 2 x Microsoft 365 Associate certifications).
