We’re happy to announce that the new Microsoft 365 Certified: Teams Support Engineer Specialty certification for the support engineer job role is now in general availability. To earn this certification, you must pass Exam MS-740: Troubleshooting Microsoft Teams. To prepare for the exam, use the associated Microsoft Teams self-paced learning path on Microsoft Learn.
During the beta exam process, we heard feedback from our customers about the in-depth technical expertise necessary to work with Microsoft platforms. As a result, this certification is now designated at the Specialty level to better reflect the complexity of the support engineer role.
This certification provides support engineers who use advanced troubleshooting methods in Microsoft Teams environments with a way to validate their technical skills and advance their careers. It also offers Microsoft partners—particularly cloud solution providers (CSPs)—with a key differentiator in these times of accelerating digital transformation. This globally recognized, industry-endorsed Microsoft certification can distinguish support engineers from their peers and can help CSPs gain a competitive advantage.
