A little bit about certification
Microsoft certification is a system of independent and objective assessment of the knowledge and skills of computer users, IT specialists, developers and IT managers in working with Microsoft technologies and products in order to assign them Microsoft certification status. The current structure of Microsoft certifications allows you to assess the skills of working with technologies, taking into account the specifics of a particular position.
To obtain a certificate (certification status), you must pass one or more certification exams (depending on the level of certification), most of which take the form of computer tests and require not only good theoretical training, but also serious practical skills and knowledge.
On the benefits of certification - see the corresponding page on the Microsoft website or the April Headhunter survey (according to which, for example, in Russia, 80% of managers responsible for recruiting staff said they saw certain advantages in hiring certified specialists).
