Hi Tom, Any word on when this exam might go Live so we can get our results from the exam?
No sorry, not heard a date yet.
do when have any update about date of release
No, likely will be in next month or two.
If you write this while still in beta, do you have to take it again when it goes GA (or write some kind of a delta exam or something), or is your Microsoft 365 Certified: Teams Administrator certification valid at that point?
If you pass a beta exam it’s still a full valid pass
A bit late, but any indication as to when this exam will be out of beta?
Should be very shortly. They just released the beta results
Hi Tom, thanks for this post. How long is this certificate valid?
How long is the Ms Teams Associate certificate valid?
