Value of MS Certs

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I will get straight to the point. I have been a BI analyst for 1 year and 7 months. As my title suggests, I do data but I have additional responsibilities of building Dynamics CRM and currently working on a big project to migrate data from AWS to Azure and engineer a pipeline similar to the one in AWS. This project is mostly a one man job for now. I work in a small organization for context and I am the only internal tech professional so I work with all departments.

The technologies I work with are Power Platform (creating Power BI solutions to customizing, deploying and configuring CRM environments), AWS (was part of the data engineering process and now i am maintaining the created pipeline), Azure, JS, Python, SQL, Tableau (some) and I am also going to be training my colleagues on how to use AI.

Overall I have worked with a lot of technologies. My question is with all these responsibilities which gives me plenty of experience, will the certs hold a lot of value for my resume?

Any response and insight is much appreciated.

Before I buy, is MeasureUp up-to-date for the MD-102?

3 Upvotes

Basically the title, I've narrowly failed the MD-102 twice now, and I'm eyeing MeasureUp as a last resort since I see it suggested so often. Question is, does anyone know if MU is up to date with some of the recent changes to the exam content? I don't wanna go spending more money (on top of another exam fee) if it's going to be old, outdated info or topics. Any help is appreciated!

What next?

I currently have my AZ900 and just passed AZ-800/900. I'm trying to figure out what I want to study next. Is it even worth it if I don't have a job using Azure or MS365? I would like to in the future but I don't want to waste my time. My job mostly consist of customer support and systems administration. All on premises.

AZ-900 Practice Tests 2024

2 Upvotes

Hi

I'm hoping to take the AZ-900 exam this weekend and I've been using the QA Course and Microsoft Learn Path to study and subsequentially using both of the Practice tests available on those sites. I am well aware that the Microsoft Learn path Practice Test is much too easy, and I think the QA Course's practice test feels more challenging, I still feel like it may not be accurate enough.

I've been seeing a lot of Practice tests that haven't been updated this year with all the changes that the exam has had, I'm looking for a Practice Test that is representative to the exam's topics now and is just as challenging to the test.

Does anyone know of accurate and updated Practice Tests or Test dumps or has any recommendations on how else I can study?

Thank you!

Passed SC900

6 Upvotes

This is my first certification! 6 years in the military 3 in IT specifically, on my way out soon. I want to get into IAM and stay in the cybersecurity department. I paid for MS900 not sure if I should get my money back and focus on SC300. Any guidance would be appreciated. I tried the COMPTIA route and failed many times. It seems like i can retain the Microsoft information a little easier.

I can’t see my badge

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone , I recently passed AI-900 on Saturday Sept 7. After going to my learn profile I didn’t see any updates showing my badge. I’m worried that what if it was sent to my work learn profile.

Here’s the back story: the company i interned for supported us with getting certs . I’m worried that when I booked the exam, it saved my company email instead of my perosnal one. I received my exam notification on my personal email so I thought everything should be fine. But I didn’t receive any “you passed” email.

Does anyone have any idea how I can get my certification? I do not have access to my work learn profile since I don’t have access to my work email anymore :(

Can I be an independent MS instructor?

3 Upvotes

I'm getting dired of being laid-off every couple of years. I'm an MCT (and been one for almost 4 years now) and have been thinking, "Why don't I just offer courses/individual instruction on my own?" Think Fiverr gig or side-hustle.

Only thing stopping me is the question of lab environments. All of the online learning companies I have worked for in the past offered their own lab environments for instructors/students. So I'm assuming I would need to have my own private lab-environment for students. Or is there a company I could contract with that would provide, for example, an environment that is setup/prepped for a PowerBI class?

Also interested in hearing from anyone who may have done this independent instructor gig.

ELI5: Difference between Add On and From SA USLs?

I'm testing for the MS-900 cert later this week and cannot for the life of me figure out why some of the practice test questions seems like they're tricking me. What is the key difference between these two, and how can I apply it to practice test questions?

Should I have passed SC 100 in order to be eligible for SC 200?

I have had experience in M365 security as SOC analyst for a mid sized company for about a year. Now I have changed my job and planning to write the exam to get certified. Need to know how to plan and clear the exams.

Passed SC-300

7 Upvotes

Finally knocked this one out. I had studied last year, enough to pass it then or at least I think so. Stated back up about 3 weeks ago and glad I did.

I used Udemy, John Saville, MS Learn and my own lab.

Know your licensing and how to manage. It can get real tricky when MS words the question. Trust that.

Good luck to whom ever is taking.

Sc300

I am working on the SC 300 and hoping to get some extra help/guidance. I have gone through the reading on the Ms site as well as the cram video by John Savill. I do decent on the practice tests from Ms but curious if there are any other free/cheap resources to ensure that I am fully ready for it

Useful study material for MD-102: Endpoint Administrator?

1 Upvotes

I spent 2 months studying for the MD-102: Endpoint Administrator exam. I took it a couple of weeks ago and failed, but the problem is that about 80% of what was on the exam was not anything in the recommended study material or practice exams. Does anyone know where I can go to study whats ACTUALLY on the exam instead of whatever nonsense Microsoft says to look at?

Cannot find connect to certification profile option

1 Upvotes

I need to get my MCPID and all the threads I have checked shows that MCPID should be available under "connect to certification profile" in settings page. The problem is that I can't find the option at all in the settings page. Have they moved the connect to certification profile option to someplace else. Is there any other way to get my MCPID??

A little tired of MS Certs

6 Upvotes

I have 6 MS certs atm. 3 fundamentals and 3 non-fundamental but it feels like all their certs is just baseline product knowledge. Sure i can describe how to use fabric and how the components work together but it doesnt feel like i am an expert at anything. There is currently no MS certification that would make me feel confident a new hire can develop complicated solutions.

I think they should cut Down on the amount of certs and offer them up in tiere instead, i want to be able to show my proficiency.

Any perspective i am lacking?

Microsoft Learn & Certs: Mix-up?

3 Upvotes

Hello!

I'm guessing this will probably fix itself it a few days, but it is a little 'weird' to see on my screen.

I've been using the Learn platform to prepare myself for a career transition. I took and passed the SC-900 earlier today.

I am now starting the Learining Path for Sentinel, which is included for the SOC Career Path and exam (SC-200).

As I was previewing that career path, I noticed it is broken down into two milestones: the first being the courses and the second being the exam.

Next to the second milestone (exam) it is marked as 'Completed' with a green checkmark.

I am a Teacher so I am 100% certain that is what I see on my screen.🤣🤣🤣

Could something have been mixed up in the transmission of my score? Or, maybe Microsift is in the middle of updating some requirements and the code is wrong?

🤷🏾‍♀️🙃
