Microsoft certifications moving to Microsoft Learn

 

As part of our commitment to a centralization of learning Microsoft is moving portions of the Microsoft Learning site to the Microsoft Learn site. By integrating information about certifications into Microsoft Learn we can continue moving towards our goal of a single learning destination for all Microsoft learners. We have begun moving the English version of Microsoft Learning content over and will be working on the following languages in the coming months: Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish. For more information about the Learning to Learn migration please review the following Moving Microsoft Certifications to Learn - FAQ page. You can check out the current Microsoft Certifications available on Microsoft Learn site on the Microsoft Learn Certification page.
