Fabric Certification Renewal

Hi gtweet

Yes, it's open book. The renewal assessment is free, online and unproctored, and it's shorter than the original exam. You can retake it as often as you need, as long as you pass before the certification expires.

Passing extends the certification by one year from its current expiration date, not from the day you pass. You can take it any time in the six-month window before it expires.

To start, open your Microsoft Learn profile, go to your certifications and look for the Renew button. The renewal page for each certification also lists free modules on what changed. Fundamentals certifications don't expire, so this only applies to associate, expert and specialty ones.
