Microsoft certification exams are performance-based requiring you to complete specific tasks during the exam to prove your knowledge and understanding of the technology rather than memorizing information.
The best way to prepare for a Microsoft certification exam is by having hands-on experience with the technology.
ONLC Training Centers is a Microsoft Gold Learning Partner. We provide authorized Microsoft training that will help you prepare for certification exams.
Authorized training is available in two delivery formats:
Once you've passed a Microsoft technical exam or earned a Microsoft certification, Microsoft will provide you with a digital badge. Badges are web-enabled representations of your Microsoft certifications. Your digital badge is made of an image and metadata uniquely linked to you. This ensures that only you can take credit for your achievement.
You can share the details of your skills in a trusted and verifiable way. You can share your digital badge to popular online destinations, such as LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter. It can also be embedded in a résumé, your personal website, or an email signature.
Anyone who views your badge can select it to learn about your skills and verify authenticity.
MCSA certification is a prerequisite for MCSE (Microsoft Certified Solutions Expert) certification.
Once you have earned MCSA: Windows Server 2016 certification, you just have to pass one (1) more exam from a list of approved electives to earn MCSE Core Infrastructure.
