The value of Microsoft certifications
Microsoft certifications, as illustrated in Figure 15.1, are highly esteemed within the IT sector. These certifications are internationally acknowledged for confirming an individual’s proficiency and expertise in specific Microsoft technologies. They validate that the certificate holder possesses the essential skills, knowledge, and experience in the relevant technology. According to Todd Thibodeaux, president and CEO of CompTIA, certifications are strong indicators of both current and advanced expertise.

It is crucial to differentiate between various types of Microsoft-related documentation, as not all certificates represent formal Microsoft certifications. For instance, a certificate of attendance from a Microsoft Learning Partner training does not equate to a Microsoft certification unless it is linked to a specific certification exam.
