Microsoft 365 Security and Messaging Administrator Associate Certification Bundle (with 3 Exams)

Description

The Microsoft Certified Associate is a new breed of Microsoft certification. It is referred to as a ‘role-based certification’. According to Microsoft, role-based certifications show that individuals that possess them are keeping pace with today’s technical roles and requirements. They allow a learner to skill up and prove their expertise to employers and peers, plus get the recognition and opportunities they’ve earned.

Learn about the value of being Microsoft certified.

Microsoft role-based certifications cover three skill levels: 1. Fundamental, 2. Associate, and 3. Expert. Career paths include developer, administrator, devops, and solutions architect.

Microsoft claims that upon earning a certification, 23% of Microsoft certified technologists reported receiving up to a 20% salary increase. What’s more, certified employees are often entrusted with supervising their peers, putting them on the fast track for a promotion.     

Upon completion of this course, you’ll receive one Microsoft 365 Fundamentals ‘Acclaim’ badge, and two Microsoft 365 Associate ‘Acclaim’ badges that you can add to your CV or social media profile for prospective employers to see.
