Microsoft Credentials are a two-track program consisting of Certifications and Microsoft Applied Skills that validate real-world skills in AI, cloud, security, and business roles. Certifications are exams reflecting key job responsibilities and can be renewed annually at no cost, while Applied Skills are lab-based assessments that demonstrate practical ability; both are shareable on LinkedIn and align with career progression from Fundamentals to Specialty. These credentials help individuals advance their careers and enable organizations to assess and grow talent, supported by resources to learn, train, practice, earn, renew, and share.
