Certification topic
Hi community, I have a topic about certification's type and what's most value in real world?
You have one: Microsoft certificate of achievement, PL300... Microsot pather...
You have another: Microsoft Certified: Power BI Data Analyst Associate
so both are the same subject, "Power BI" in the real world,
What is it most value to employer?
What is it approach to real job?
Comments are welcome; if you can experience please
thanks in advance.
Hello Peter_23 ,
PL-300 is the code of the exam and basically Microsoft Certified: Power BI Data Analyst Associate is same with PL-300.
This certification is valuable because it measures your Power BI skills based on some subjects. You can check it from here:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/credentials/certifications/resources/study-guides/pl-300
Based on these subjects like data modeling, DAX fundamentals, Power Query; it shows that you have a profession. So if you apply job, hiring managers accept that you have a profession on Power BI and it takes you one step ahead on someone who doesn't have a certificate.
It does not mean you are an expert if you get this certificate but you have more luck on interviews.

Think about it as a progression
PL-300 : You know how to create reports in Power BI
DP-600 : You also know how to use the Fabric features for your reports
DP-700: You also know how to administer both Power BI and Fabric
So depending on the job specs one certificate may be a sufficient booster, or all three may be required (and then some)
