Azure Data Fundamentals Badge

Hello, Michael.

Welcome to Microsoft's Community.

As we understand, you want to know why the badge visible on your Learn Profile associated with your Azure Data Fundamentals certification just displays the text "Fundamentals". We will gladly help.

Taking into account this information, we confirm that what in the mentioned badge, only represents that the certification belongs to the Fundamentals category. All Certificates are classified under three groups to provide clarity on the skill level of the Certification, as follows:

• Level 1: Fundamentals

• Level 2: Associate

• Level 3: Expert

We have confirmed that the design of your Microsoft Certified: Azure Data Fundamentals

is correct, you can verify the current design at the page of the certificate:

• Microsoft Certified: Azure Data Fundamentals - Certifications | Microsoft Learn (the name of the logo is Microsoft certified: fundamentals) per current design.

In case you find the information we shared was helpful, please let us know by choosing “Yes” where it says, “Did this solve your problem?” located in the bottom right corner of the thread. This will let us know if your support experience has been great or how we can improve it. If you need more information or need to clarify any given information, please feel free to answer us and we will happily assist you.

If we do not receive a response, the thread will be closed and locked after two business days.

Hope you have an excellent day,

Franklin,

I do appreciate the response. Since the badge for my AZ-900 says "Azure Fundamentals" I assumed the DP-900 would specify that it's a "Data Fundamentals" to differentiate it from the other fundamental courses.

Kindest regards,

Hello, Michael.

We hope this message finds you well.

The specific label mentioned was available before the official badges system was retired.

Please take into account that Microsoft ended their partnership with Credly by June 30, 2023. This means that the badging services provided by Credly no longer apply for most of Microsoft Certifications (excepting certificates obtained via Certiport). Our new scheme has changed from 'Badge sharing-based' to a 'Certification shared-based' scheme.

To review the new system for sharing certificates, we invite you to visit the following website:

• View, use, and share certificates and badges | Microsoft Learn

Also, there is more information about this change on the next post:

• New! Microsoft Learn certification sharing features are live! Credly - Training, Certification, and Program Support

Thanks for understanding.

If this solves your problem, please indicate “Yes” to the question and the thread will automatically be closed and locked. In case we do not receive a response, it will be closed and locked after one business day. 

Kind regards,

Hello, Michael.

We hope everything is going well for you.
