Keeping Up With Microsoft’s Role-Based Certification:

Checking The Certification Box & Beyond AZURE CURRICULUM DEAN:

Vitaly Livshits

• Independent consultant with 20+ years of experience in IT

Certification is by no means a “silver bullet.”

But in a highly competitive economy, getting certified helps an individual stand out and keep up with technology changes to maintain credentials.

Instead of focusing on technologies in general, the role-based certification program maps credentials to easily recognizable jobs/positions and areas of responsibilities.

Azure Data Engineer Associate Example: This certification covers many technologies, including: Azure SQL Database, Azure SQL Data Warehouse, Azure Data Factory, Azure Databricks, Azure Stream Analytics, Azure Data Lake Storage, Azure Blobs, etc.

• Most current consulting work is around Microsoft data stack, BI, overall solution architecture, cloud migration, Azure, architectural assessments, etc.

• Active Microsoft Certified Trainer (MCT), Azure Solutions Architect Expert, TOGAF, and 15+ more Microsoft and industry certifications •At Learning Tree – Instructor for Microsoft Official Curriculum (MOC) and Learning Tree curriculum courses – Azure Curriculum Dean Learn more about changes to Azure Certifications in this blog by Leaarning Tree author, MCT, and Curriculum Expert Vitaly Livshits: Discovering Microsoft Azure Data AI Training Paths ›

Microsoft certifications have evolved substantially to role-based.

“

As you can see, it can be a somewhat overwhelming amount of technologies, although that’s just the reality of the industry today.

Whereas a decade ago someone could make a living as, for example, a SQL Server DBA, today one must be reasonably proficient in many related technologies, while often also being an expert in some of them (known as “T-shaped” skillset).”
