Pitman Training group Certificates and exam Equivalent

Hello, PEPA_Online.

Welcome to Microsoft Community,

We understand that you want to know the level acquired by achieving your Certifications and want suggestions to improve your knowledge with Office Apps.

In 2019, Microsoft has introduced certification levels, otherwise known as badges, which breakdown their courses into three tiers. This was implemented for many reasons, which benefit both attendee and prospective employer in a few ways:

• Makes Microsoft courses more accessible to both beginners and IT veterans

• Encourages those of all levels to become certified, helping to produce a clearer industry standard

• Makes it easier for employers to select skilled professionals based on the type of knowledge base they require

• Provides IT professionals with long-term goals for continuing professional development

• Provides greater clarity to skill level of certification

The stars represents the level of Expertise and knowledge about a theme or Certification content as follows:

1. Level 1: Fundamentals or Specialist (1 Star).

2. Level 2: Associate (2 Stars).

3. Level 3: Expert (3 Stars).

These tier levels, combined with the new role-based certifications provide a clear career pathway that IT newbies can follow in its entirety to become highly skilled professionals, as well as providing the opportunity for existing professionals to expand on their career knowledge base through the associate and expert levels.
