List of Microsoft 365 Certification Exams and Cost Details

In this post, we will discuss about List of Microsoft 365 Certification Exams and Cost Details. I have created a table to keep track of Microsoft certifications, exams, and training classes.

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

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 based on their package offerings.

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