Expired Certifications
Hi mirahsan21685,
Microsoft Learn has always the latest certifications that are currently valid and you can check the current certification on this page Microsoft Certifications | Microsoft Learn by role.
As IT roles change or get shifted because of the ever-ending technology lifecycle, certifications get retired, too. You can check the retired certification here.
Regarding the update of courses and certification, I can tell you first hand, that this is something that takes considerable time and effort from multitudes of people in different areas, and even feedback from the learners' aid in that. This updates to the courses and relevant information happens 2-3 times per year, sometimes maybe more if there are important and significant changes, and the exam and certification is also updated, but it may take a quarter to hit the exam questions. Microsoft Learn content is very frequently updated, nonetheless.
Check also the paths to become certified by visiting this page here.
Companies in general trust the certification process that is why we have also introduced a yearly renewal process for all the role-based certifications, not the fundamentals. This renewal process is free and very intuitive, and helps you stay current.
Hope this helps!
