Microsoft Applied Skills
New credentials to verify in-demand technical skills
Targeted skill validation for real-world scenarios
Advances in AI, cloud computing, and emerging technologies have made it more important than ever to demonstrate your proficiency in the most sought-after technical skills. As a result, organizations are quickly adopting a skills-based approach as they search for the right people, with the right skills, at the right time.
Microsoft Applied Skills are new, verifiable credentials that validate that an individual has the targeted skills needed to implement critical projects aligned to business goals and objectives. Applied Skills offer you an easy way to validate someone’s skills with a credential that’s verified by Microsoft, so you can trust that individual to do the task at hand.
