Hi Mindy, thank you for the update. We appreciate that the course will remain available for some additional time — there continues to be strong interest in it within our customer base.
That said, we’re still seeing considerable demand for both the course and the related certification. The DP-700 doesn’t serve as a direct replacement, given the different focus and skill sets it covers. For instance, we had around 30 customers ready to certify for the DP-203, but many decided against it once they learned about the exam retirement. Most of them feel that the DP-700 doesn’t align with their role or learning goals.
We’d greatly value any additional insights into the decision to retire the certification entirely — and whether there’s any room to reconsider or offer an alternative certification path that better matches the original scope.
With kind regards, Marnix Wolf
Hi Mwolf1703
I understand how this can be frustrating. I really appreciate the feedback -- and was shared it with our credential's product manager. Should I get back any additional information I will certainly share it.
Thank you
