The Benefits of Microsoft Office 365 Certification
Successful completion of Microsoft's established certification tracks is the recognised path for organizations and individuals, and Office 365 is no exception to this rule.
For individuals, the benefits of enhanced career paths and higher salaries are obvious, and for organizations, the benefit of employing staff with proven skills, trained and tested through an independent and authorised programme, are beyond measure.
The Route to Office 365 Certification
Certification is probably the simplest of all Microsoft tracks: an initial certification in Office 365, which earns an MCSA (Microsoft Certified Solutions Associate), preparing you for a move into other more complex technologies.
MCSA: Office 365
The MCSA: Office 365 certification provides skills in moving to and managing cloud-hosted business applications using Office 365.
Earning this certification will qualify you for a role as a 'Software as a Service' (SaaS) administrator, as well as for a cloud applications administrator who manages Office 365 business applications like Exchange, SharePoint and Lync.
There are two steps in achieving this qualification:
- Course 20346*, Exam 346: Managing Office 365 Identities and Requirements
- Course 20346*, Exam 347: Enabling Office 365 Services
*NOTE: Course 20346 covers you for both exams.
