Microsoft abandons MCSA, MCSD and MCSE certifications
 

Vole only interested in role-based training and certifications

Microsoft will retire MCSA, MCSD and MCSE certifications on June 30, 2020 which means that if you put it on your CV some freshly scrubbed HR person is going to wonder what it is.

Writing in his bog, Alex Payne, GM, Global Technical Learning at Microsoft Worldwide Learning said that Vole had shifted its focus to role-based training and certifications in September 2018 and has added 34 different certifications since then to its portfolio "across Azure, Modern Workplace, and Business Applications".

Since Microsoft is now focusing on role-based training and certifications, it will retire all remaining Microsoft Certified Solutions Associate (MCSA), Microsoft Certified Solutions Developer (MCSD) and Microsoft Certified Solutions Expert (MCSE) certifications on June 30, 2020.

MCSA, MCSD, MCSE certifications can still be achieved until June 30, 2020 and "nothing happens" to certifications that customers already have. Existing certifications that are retired on June 30, 2020 remain on a customer's certification transcript for two years after the retirement date before they are moved to the inactive section of the transcript.
