FY20 Q1 competency exam and certification requirement changesJuly 2019

CLOUD

Please ReviewToday’s customers expect more from technology providers than ever before. They want products and services that accelerate their business transformation. When choosing a partner, they look for specialists with deep skills, understanding of, and experience in their industry. Customers are asking Microsoft to help them connect with the best partners and to help them find, try, and buy the apps and services that best meet their needs as they continue moving to the cloud. Customers want to understand the unique capabilities and specializations of partners when making decisions about the companies they choose to work with. In the Microsoft Partner Network, gold and silver competencies let you demonstrate your capabilities.

As of July 2019, we’ve updated several exam requirements. Please review this document or sign in to partner center to see your competency status and exam requirements as they become available. Make sure to check competency requirements early—at least a few months prior to the beginning of your renewal window (anniversary date plus 30 days) —to ensure you meet current requirements at the time of your competency renewal. Please note that updated requirements are available only in partner center. If you have been invited to move your membership account from Partner Membership Center to partner center, make the move as soon as possible. Here is how.

Please note that any competencies not included in this deck do not have exam changes planned in Q1.
