Microsoft Certifications
Microsoft certification is a vendor credential programme validating skills across Microsoft's cloud, productivity, and AI platforms including Azure (infrastructure, security, AI, data), Microsoft 365 (productivity and collaboration), Dynamics 365 (business applications), Power Platform (low-code development), and following Microsoft's acquisition of GitHub GitHub developer certifications.
Microsoft AI and Copilot certifications the newest credential wave
Microsoft has rapidly expanded its AI certification catalogue: AI-900 (Fundamentals), AI-102 (Engineer Associate), AI-103 (Developing AI Apps and Agents), AB-900 (Copilot and Agent Administration Fundamentals), AB-100 (Agentic AI Business Solutions Architect), and Microsoft Certified: AI Business Professional. ExamsVCE covers this full AI credential family with verified Q&A as each exam is released.
Microsoft certification is one of the broadest vendor credential programmes in enterprise IT, spanning cloud infrastructure (Azure), productivity software (Microsoft 365, Office), business applications (Dynamics 365), low-code development (Power Platform), identity and security, data and AI, and since the GitHub acquisition developer tooling and DevOps. With over 90 active exams tracked on ExamsVCE, Microsoft has one of the most comprehensive and fastest-evolving certification catalogues of any single vendor, particularly as it accelerates AI and Copilot credential offerings through 2025 and 2026.
ExamsVCE covers the full breadth of Microsoft's current certification catalogue with verified Q&A and expert explanations from foundational Fundamentals exams (AZ-900, MS-900, AI-900) through Associate, Expert, and the newest Agentic AI and Copilot credentials.

The Azure Certification Path Fundamentals to Expert
Azure certification follows Microsoft's role-based framework: Fundamentals (AZ-900) validates cloud concepts with no prerequisites; Associate-level certifications (AZ-104 Administrator, AZ-204 Developer, AZ-500 Security) validate role-specific operational skills; Expert-level certifications (AZ-305 Solutions Architect, AZ-400 DevOps Engineer) validate advanced design and architecture skills, often requiring an Associate certification first. ExamsVCE covers the full path with verified Q&A for each tier.
Microsoft's AI and Copilot Certification Expansion
Microsoft has aggressively expanded its AI credential catalogue through 2025 and into 2026, reflecting the rapid enterprise adoption of Copilot and agentic AI. Beyond the established AI-900/AI-102 track, new credentials include AB-900 (Copilot and Agent Administration Fundamentals), AB-100 (Agentic AI Business Solutions Architect), AB-730 (AI Business Professional), and AI-103 (Developing AI Apps and Agents on Azure). These target both technical implementers and business decision-makers deploying AI across Microsoft's ecosystem. ExamsVCE adds verified practice tests for each new AI exam as it launches.
GitHub Certification Now Part of the Microsoft Family
Following Microsoft's acquisition of GitHub, GitHub's own certification programme (GH-100 Administration, GH-200 Actions, GH-300 Copilot, GH-500 Advanced Security, GH-900 Foundations, and the newer GH-600 Agentic AI Developer) sits within Microsoft's broader credential catalogue on ExamsVCE. These validate practical skills on the GitHub platform CI/CD with Actions, secure coding with Advanced Security, and AI-assisted development with Copilot.
