List of Microsoft 365 Certification Exams and Cost Details

In this post, you will learn about the Microsoft 365 Certification exam in detail. I have created a table to keep track of Microsoft certifications, exams, and training classes.

I have a previous post about the latest SCCM certification (70-703). Intune device management certification is included in the Microsoft 365 certification path (see the details below).

Note!– I don’t think Microsoft is following the old model of product-specific certification going forward. Instead, the certification is packaged into Microsoft 365 and Azure, etc… based on their package offerings.

I have also noted down the costs of each Microsoft 365 certification in the below table.
