Prove your skills. Protect your investment.

Earlier this year, we introduced changes to our certification program to help people stay current on their certifications. If you have a certification that expires this month—or any time within the next six months—you’re eligible to take a renewal assessment on Microsoft Learn for free today.

With the popularity of cloud services, technology is changing more frequently. To keep up with the latest tech features and skills on your earned certifications, you can continue to certify your knowledge and skillset by passing a free renewal certification exam annually.

Get started.  Three steps to renew your certification.

Keeping your active certifications current can help validate your technical expertise and skills, boost productivity and performance in your current role, and lead to new career opportunities tomorrow. 

1. Go to Microsoft Learn to connect your learn profile with your certification profile.
2. Prepare with the free content on Microsoft Learn. 
3. Take the free online assessment before your certification expires.
