Renewing a Microsoft certification

Introduction

Microsoft certifications are a great way to validate your technical expertise and stay relevant in this fast-moving industry, especially when you’re working with an Azure cloud based enterprise environment, or dotnet based applications.
But certifications don’t last forever.
Most role-based and specialty certifications expire after one year, which means you’ll need to renew them regularly. That’s the case of some of the certifications I earned some years ago especially on Azure and dotnet, and which I actually made blog posts about 😉

Back in October 2022, Microsoft has launched an Ignite Learn Cloud Skills Challenge .
They challenged you to pass all the learning cloud modules proposed by the challenge.
Once passed, Microsoft gave us a free exam! Knowing that the exams are rather expensive (165 euros as I said in my previous article), it’s a good thing that Microsoft offers challenges that allow you to pass exams without having to pay.

Microsoft certifications are a good way to test and validate your skills on Azure.
I’ve been working with Azure for 3 years now, so I thought it was the right time at the end of 2022 to take the exam and validate my knowledge 😊
And I successfully passed it on December 28th 2022 !

So here is a little post detailing how I prepared my self for the exam and what materials I used to train, so you can hopefully use those to help yourself.
