  • Article

As previously announced in July 2014 through the Partner News Update email newsletter, PartnerSource, and various program guides, there are changes to exam requirements beginning March 1, 2015 for the following Microsoft Dynamics partner programs:  

  • Solutions Provider Agreement (SPA)
  •   
  • Certified Software Advisor (CSA)
  •   
  • Microsoft Partner Network (MPN) ERP and CRM Competencies

As part of these programs’ ongoing lifecycle, exam requirements are regularly updated per program strategy to ensure new versions of Microsoft Dynamics products and their associated technical exams and sales assessments are included in these requirements.  To reflect this, all partners must be on current product versions of exams and sales/presales assessments for Microsoft Dynamics CRM (2013 or 2015) , and on current exams for Microsoft Dynamics AX (2012 or 2012 R3) starting March 1, 2015 to be able to order and claim fees. 

 Retiring Exams:

ALL Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011, Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009, Microsoft SQL Server 2008, and Microsoft SharePoint 2010 exams, along with Exam MB5-858: Managing Microsoft Dynamics Implementations will no longer be accepted toward program requirements.
