Hi piyushme1992 

 

 Effective October 2022, competencies will no longer be valid. This means that badges will go away and competencies won't be promoted by Microsoft. Partners will retain their benefits.

 

September 30, 2022, was the last day to renew legacy competencies. Once Solutions Partner designations are available on October 3, you have the option to retain legacy benefits.

Sorry, but I am not quite clear with the response. Basically we plan to renew and Legacy Gold Partners, but have also achieved the Solution Designation Partner status. Can we use the badge for the achieved Solution Designation partner, after our renewal as gold partners?
