I have SC 400 certification which is valid till 28th May 2026.

But, MS have retired that certification now.

I am planning for MS 102 but want to confirm if SC 400 is still considered as valid pre-requisite now.

    See the list of prerequisite certifications here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/credentials/certifications/m365-administrator-expert/#certification-prerequisites

    As SC-400 certification has retired, it does not qualify

    Hello,
    Although your SC‑400 certification remains visible in your Microsoft Learn transcript until its expiration date, retired certifications are not considered valid prerequisites for any certification paths, including MS‑102.
