SharePoint Certification

 

Update (yet again)… Microsoft has updated the  “Skill Measured” sections on two more of the SharePoint 2010 exams. See here:   70-667 and  70-668

Update (again)… Microsoft has updated the  “Skill Measured” sections on two of the SharePoint 2010 exams. See here:   70-573 and  70-576

Update… Microsoft has posted some news on the SharePoint 2010 Exams… but still no links or date. They do state that there are no “upgrade” exams for those who already have the 2007 certs.  See here.

 

Below is a list of the SharePoint exams, the certification you get from the exam and classes to prepare for the exam. Both SharePoint 2007 and 2010 have two exam paths with two exams each. Each of the 2007 exams have hyperlinks to details on Microsoft.com. I will update the 2010 links when they are available.
