[Mindy_Rosenthal]

DP-500 for ILT will be retiring on April 30th, 2024

Find out how certification and exam retirements make way for new opportunities.

Microsoft Fabric—the all-in-one analytics solution that covers everything from data movement to data science—has enabled the role of enterprise data analyst to evolve into that of analytics engineer. As a result, effective April 30, 2024, we’ll retire the Microsoft Certified: Azure Enterprise Data Analyst Associate certification and Exam DP-500: Designing and Implementing Enterprise-Scale Analytics Solutions Using Microsoft Azure and Microsoft Power BI. Enterprise data analysts can now earn the Fabric Analytics Engineer Associate certification by taking DP-600 and also passing Exam DP-600.

@Mindy_Rosenthal DP-500 is still showing in partner center as a required exam for Business Application Specialization - Business Intelligence. Is that going to be changed to DP-600?

Could you provide me the exact link for this? I just realized you said Partner Center, so I will share this with the TSP Program Manager. 

Thank you, again.

Thanks for the info. I was able to confirm with the GPS / Partner Center team that they are aware of this, and it will be updated soon.

Hi, @Mindy_Rosenthal 

Is there any way to access the old Learn Documentation of DP-500 now? Thanks.

Hi Aziz --

Once a course retires, all ILT Trainer materials do as well. We can no longer distribute the content past the course's retirement date. 

Thank you,
