Evolving technology means evolving certification content. Microsoft exams regularly get updated in order to reflect technology developments, product name changes and sometimes a change in focus.
On September 24th, 2021 most Azure and Microsoft 365 certifications are getting updated. The most significant changes however will be made to the two Security-focused exams: AZ-500 Azure Security Technologies and MS-500 Microsoft 365 Security Administration which is the reason why I would recommend having a close look at the Skills Measured documents if you’re pursuing either of these exams. PL-200 Power Platform Functional Consultant will see some major changes as well.
There is no upcoming update to any of the Fundamentals exams and there are three exams still in Beta testing: AZ-700 Azure Networking, MB-340 Dynamics 365 Commerce Functional Consultant and MS-740 Troubleshooting Microsoft Teams. Interestingly, MS-740 is actually on hold at the moment due to Business-critical feedback from customers and there is no timeframe yet for when it will be made available again.
Below you can find all the Microsoft exams which will be updated this month along with some practical information about the certification process.
