New Generation Certification Lifecycle Policies
The new generation of Microsoft Certifications—Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS), Microsoft Certified IT Professional (MCITP), and Microsoft Certified Professional Developer (MCPD)—have lifecycle policies in place to ensure that Microsoft Certification remains an indicator of up-to-date, relevant skills on Microsoft technologies.
MCTS, MCITP, or MCPD certifications will retire when Microsoft discontinues mainstream support for the related technology. Typically, mainstream support is discontinued 7 to 10 years after the initial product release. When support ends, your related certification will retire.
When a certification that you have earned retires, the record of your certification moves to a section on your transcript for retired credentials, to allow you to retain documentation of your experience with Microsoft technology. After a certification retires, you can no longer create or download related materials, such as welcome kits, certificates, and logos. All related exams that you have passed remain listed as "passed" on your transcript, as they do today.
Recertification Policy for Professional Series?
In Microsoft's initial communications about the Professional Series certifications, they announced that a "refresh" or recertification of the MCITP and MCPD credentials would be required within three years. This policy has changed. The updated policy is to retire a certification when mainstream support for the related technology retires, as described above. There is no action required from you if you earned a Professional Series certification before the policy change; the updated policy applies to your certification, which will be valid until mainstream support for the related technology retires.
