In this post, you will learn about the Microsoft 365 Certification exam in details. I have created a table to keep track of Microsoft certifications, exams, and training classes. I have a previous post which talks about latest SCCM certification (70-703). Intune device management certification is included in the Microsoft 365 certification path (you can see the details below).
Note!– I don’t think Microsoft is following the old model of product specific certification going forward. Instead, the certification is also packages into Microsoft 365 and Azure etc… based on their package offerings.
I have also noted down the costs of each Microsoft 365 certification in the below table.
