I have passed the ms-102 nd need a digital certificate showing I passed the exam?

Hello, Jaapde.

Welcome to Microsoft's Community.  

Based on your inquiry, we understand that you would like to clarify the sharing requirements of a certification. We will happily help.

MS-102 is an exam that is part of the requirements to achieve the certification Microsoft 365 Certified: Administrator Expert.

Please take into account that to achieve this certification, candidates must pass the following exam:

• Exam MS-102: Microsoft 365 Administrator

And achieve one (1) of the following certifications:

• Microsoft 365 Certified: Endpoint Administrator Associate

• Microsoft 365 Certified: Messaging Administrator Associate

• Microsoft 365 Certified: Teams Administrator Associate

• Microsoft Certified: Identity and Access Administrator Associate

• Microsoft Certified: Information Protection and Compliance Administrator Associate

Please consider that exams and certifications are different entities. An exam is an assessment that covers a set of skills, while certifications are awards that may have one or more requisites.

Exams from the Microsoft Certified Professional program cannot be shared by themselves directly via LinkedIn or other platforms by design, only Credentials can.

There is no way to generate a certification without meeting the requirements stablished in the Certification Path. Please note that these requirements are necessary for all certifications according to the certifications' guidelines (Certification process overview | Microsoft Learn).

Please remember that after completing the mentioned path, the certification will be available within the next 48 hours.

Please before you answer read my remarks. If you do an exam for MS365 Administrator you should get a digital certificate showing you passed the MS365 Administrator exam. I am not asking for Microsoft 365 Certified: Administrator Expert.

Lets go through it, the exam ms102 is for MS365 Administrator it says so So what do you qualify for when you pass the exam? For MS365 Administrator which mean you should have an digital certificate showing you are a certified ( meaning passed the exam) MS365 Administrator ( again no not a certification for Microsoft 365 Certified: Administrator Expert for which you need additional exam) it is similar ro MCSA vs MCSE

In your answer you are actually showing that you are wrong. For the other exams you do show Microsoft 365 Certified: Endpoint Administrator Associate Etc ( meaning you are certified and have a digital certificate while it is/can also be part of the Microsoft 365 Certified: Administrator Expert. ) so there is no reason that for MS365 Administrator there shouldnt be one.

The other thing is I need to be able to proof that I passed this exam for CPE's on other certification for this I need a digital certificate to proof I passed the exam.

Hello, Jaapde.

We hope this message finds you well.

Consider the difference remarked on the previous answer, as the model of the Microsoft Certified Professional program includes exams and certifications. It is not contemplated to provide Certificates for passing Exams only, but after completing all the requirements of a certification. These requirements vary depending on the type and level of the certification. For example, many Associate level certifications require one exam to be achieved; but, most Expert certifications require one or more Exams and at least one Certification.

You can review more about the Certifications Policies on the following websites:

• Exam policies and FAQs | Microsoft Learn

• Microsoft Credentials Program Agreement | Microsoft Learn

Also, remember that each Certification has one or more Certification Paths that should be consulted on the specific website. For example, the Microsoft 365 Certified: Administrator Expert has the following Certification Paths at this date:

• Microsoft 365 Certified: Administrator Expert - Certifications | Microsoft Learn

As seen there, the Microsoft 365 Administrator (MS-102) is indicated as an Exam, not a Certification.

Exams cannot be shared by themselves directly via LinkedIn or other platforms by design. But if you need a proof, it is possible to download a score report of the exam by following the next instructions:

Sign into your Microsoft Learn profile. In the photo avatar drop-down menu, choose Profile.

2. Choose Credentials inside the profile menu, and then the tab "Credentials".

3. Go to the section titled “Past exams” and find the exams for which you’d like to view results. Select “View details on provider site” to be taken to the exam provider’s dashboard.

4. After accessing Pearson VUE, locate the exam for which you wish to view the score report, then select the “View” button.

To access your Certiport score report, log into your Certiport dashboard. For more information, visit Certiport’s FAQs.

Please let us know if you have additional questions or require more assistance regarding this matter.

We will be attentive to your comments. After two business days without an answer, the thread will be concluded.
