Is there any mandatory Timeline I have to pass all required exams to earn DevOps Engineer Export Certification ?

I passed AZ400 September 2023. Is there any mandatory timeline that I have to pass AZ 204 or AZ104 to earn DevOps Engineer Expert ?

I understand Exam do not expire from How do I renew Exam AZ-400: Designing and Implementing Microsoft - Training, Certification, and Program Support

I do not see a way to renew AZ400 as mentioned in the link.

Does this mean I only need to renew once a year "after" achieving DevOps Engineer Expert Certificate since Exam does not expire ?

Just want to make sure since I do not want to be in the situation that I have re-take AZ400.

Thank you.

You don't renew exams, you renew certifications, so as you haven't earnt the certification yet as you do not hold the pre-requisites then you cannot renew it.

I cannot find any time limit for the exam to be used to qualify for a certification documented under https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/credentials/support/help  but I would not rely on you being able to be able to use the AZ-400 exam indefinitely for the certication.

I would guess you have 1 year but I will leave it to the moderators on this forum to advise you further. However, I would start planning now to take AZ-104 or AZ-204 before September.

Hello, JC2025.

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.  

Based on your inquiry, we understand you want to know if there is a time limit to complete the DevOps Engineer Expert certification pathway, since you already passed the AZ-400 Exam a while ago.

There is no specific time to complete a certification pathway, which means that your AZ-400 Exam continues valid towards your desired pathway completion. However, please note that Microsoft monitors industry trends, which results in the update, modification, or retirement of certifications and exams.

Although Microsoft has not announced any changes to the DevOps Engineer Expert certification pathway, it is recommended to complete it at your earliest convenience which should save you from any issues derived from changes in the requirements.

To receive further updates regarding retirement or modification of current certifications, as well as any new certification announcements, we invite you to stay connected with the MS Learn Blog:
