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 skill up and prove their expertise to employers and peers, plus get the recognition and opportunities they’ve earned.
Microsoft role-based certifications cover three skill levels: 1. Fundamental, 2. Associate, and 3. Expert. Career paths include developer, administrator, devops, and solutions architect.
Microsoft claims that upon earning a certification, 23% of Microsoft-certified technologists reported receiving up to a 20% salary increase. What’s more, certified employees are often entrusted with supervising their peers, putting them on the fast track for a promotion.
What’s included in this certification bundle?
This bundle contains three separate Microsoft 365 certification courses, with the official Microsoft certification exams included – all of which are valid for 12 months from the time of enrolment.
Hudson’s exam pass rate is 92.4%
