Microsoft Certifications give a professional advantage by providing globally recognized and industry-endorsed evidence of mastering skills in a digital and cloud businesses.
Students Certification
For students, earning a Microsoft Certification does more than just build technical skills; certifications can help students stand out and gain confidence. Microsoft Certifications also validate skills and abilities, while proving students commitment to learning the latest technologies.
Students need exam vouchers or access to an institution’s certification exam license to sit certification exams and use practice exams.
Here are some options:
- With an Academic Volume License, customers can decide which students can sit the exam, manage exam scheduling and proctoring of the exam sessions, and obtain detailed reports on all proctored exam sessions. Certiport is the Microsoft exam delivery provider for Fundamentals exams. Pearson is the Microsoft exam delivery provider for both Fundamentals and Advanced Role-Based (ARB) exams. If your institution wants to issue certification exam vouchers to students, reach out to your Microsoft point of contact, visit Certiport’s Academic Purchase Center (Fundamentals only) or Pearson Vue’s Microsoft Voucher Store (for Fundamentals and Advanced Role Based exam vouchers).
- Students can access academic pricing and pay for exam directly to Pearson Vue. Exam pass/fail rate can't be tracked by the institution. Visit Student Discount to learn more.
Educator Certification
Getting certified prior to teaching isn't a requirement or prerequisite to teach Fundamentals or Advanced Role-Based curriculum. However, it's highly recommended that you become certified prior to teaching Microsoft Official Curriculum. The certification process allows you to have a strong grasp of the material, the ability to answer technical content questions, and be a subject matter expert for your students.
Microsoft Learn for Educators provides faculty members with free practice assessment and free/discounted certification exam vouchers. Use this voucher to take the certification exam associated with the course you'll teach.
You can request these benefits via MSLE Portal. These exam vouchers are non-transferable and can be redeemed through any PearsonVue testing center.
