Next exam for the solution architect (I have passed 70-535 in past)

Question

Hello Team,

I had passed my 70-535 in 2018, now I want to update/renew my certification for the solutions architect. Which exam I should take?

Thank You,
Akhtar

Answer 1

This cert was retired in December of 2018 and is not eligible to be updated. There used to be AZ-302 which was an update path, however, that was retired in June of 2019 (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/learn/certifications/exams/az-302).

Today the equivalent would be to follow this path (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/learn/certifications/azure-solutions-architect/).

Which would mean taking AZ-104 and then AZ-305.
