So are all of our records and courses completed in Microsoft Virtual Academy gone?

I had a lot of courses completed in the MVA. I would think that the course history and Certificates of Completion docs would have been ported to this new platform - but I cannot find them. Are they lost? Thanks!

MVA learning is not currently supported here on QnA. They're actively answering question in dedicated forums here.

or read on here if you need to transfer to new account.

Hi,

You can download your certificates, badges & transcript from your Microsoft Certification dashboard:

I have seen this reply to other posts I have now found relating to my question. However, this is not an answer to the question being asked. I/We are asking about Microsoft Virtual Academy history and copies of Certificate of Completion for courses taken and finished. This is not the same and has nothing to do with the link you provided which is for getting copies of Microsoft Certifications and Transcripts for Certification Tests taken/passed and so on. I have both and understand the difference and you are talking oranges while I am talking apples.

You'll need to ask for help over here in MVA forums about this topic.

I do not see any MVA Forums at this link. These are the forums listed: BizSpark Program Support,
Microsoft Certified Trainer, academy.microsoft.com, Microsoft Learning, Microsoft Certification, Digital Literacy, Imagine Academy

Is it the academy.microsoft.com?

I suppose this is not making sense to me. I came into Microsoft Learne as searches said this has taken the place of MVA. My account is setup - but no history from MVA. So, I post this question in the forum on Microsoft Learn - but you say to use MVA forums for help - but I can't find it nor does it make sense that there are MVA forums if MVA is gone - nor that Learn is not answering these questions when it took over MVA.

I am confused and getting nowhere fast.

The support link at page bottom (http://academy.microsoft.com/) takes you here to forums.

I think we are in circles. This is common reply I am seeing:

Hello Christian D Sierra B,

Please be advised that you have reached the Microsoft Professional Program forum which scope of support revolves around Microsoft Academy.

I have checked the available resources and found that since the Microsoft Visual Academy has retired last June 10, 2019 there will be no support provided in the forum after the said date.

In this case, you may contact Microsoft Learn support to check if there is a way to migrate you MVA progress (certification, points and etc.) to the Microsoft Learn platform."

They refer back to Microsoft Learn for support - which I thought was this forum. Is it not? Still seems beyond me that Microsoft Learn replaced MVA - but they are not supporting questions related to MVA history.

This is Microsoft Q&A (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/).
Microsoft Learn is here: https://trainingsupport.microsoft.com/en-us/tcml/forum

They're in the process of migration expected to be completed by June 30.

Wow, this seams like a royal mess!

So, Microsoft Learning and Microsoft Virtual Academy are both being merged into Microsoft Learn? Microsoft Learning seems to be related to Microsoft Certifications and Certifications tests - which is not Microsoft Virtual Academy. They are different stuff. They are porting the Certification data - but MVA was not about nor ever was related to Certification. Microsoft Certifications and Certificate of Completion (MVA) are not related.

From the links you just gave - I don't take it that it has any bearing on the MVA data porting. But, your last post seems to have gotten me on the right forum for support questions on MVA (maybe - when forced to pick a topic that my question related to there was no option the related to MVA - only other topics related to specific training topics). Hopefully I can get a reply there that can answer this question - but I'm not feeling very optimistic about that.
