Frequently Asked Questions

Which Microsoft certification should I get?

It depends on your experience level and the area you want to work in. If you are new to a technology, start with its Fundamentals exam (AZ-900 for Azure, MS-900 for Microsoft 365, SC-900 for security, AI-900 for AI, PL-900 for Power Platform, GH-900 for GitHub). If you already have hands-on experience, go straight to the Associate-level exam matching your role.

How do Microsoft certification levels work?

Microsoft certifications are organized into three tiers: Fundamentals (no prerequisites, broad concepts), Associate (role-specific, hands-on skills), and Expert (advanced architecture or specialization, often building on an Associate cert).

Is this certification path finder really free?

Yes. The path finder is completely free with no signup required, and you can retake it as many times as you like across different tracks and experience levels.
