Lost access to my github certificate

Question

I passed my GitHub Foundations exam using my previous organization credentials, but I no longer have access to that organization's email. I need to transfer/merge my certification to my personal Microsoft account.

Answer 1

GitHub certifications earned before Microsoft Learn took over GitHub certifications cannot be transferred or merged into a Microsoft Learn (personal Microsoft) account.

GitHub certifications taken prior to the August 2025 migration remain only in GitHub and are not reflected in Microsoft Learn profiles, so they cannot be moved to or managed from a personal Microsoft account.

For future certifications, use the preferred personal Microsoft account directly when registering so they appear in the correct Learn profile.
