Any plans for Microsoft Power BI Certifications ?

[ashishrj]

Happy New Year Everyone 🙂 A quick question!

Hello Power BI team/users. Is there any plan for certification exam (just like MCTS) specifically for Microsft Power BI which will cover Power BI Desktop Tool and Power BI Service?

Hi,

Just took the exam today, but am unable to find info about the following:

1. Is there a known date when this will go out of beta (as only after that, one will get his grade)?

2. Does anyone know what the requirements are to pass the exam, how many %?

Thanks.

I don't know when it's coming out of beta, but I know that with most MS exams, it's a score of 700 (70%) to pass.

I don't know when it will be out of beta, but I'm taking it next week.  It's usually a score of 700 (70%) that's passing.

Replying to an older thread.

Microsoft has announced an upcoming certification in Power BI and another in Excel, which appear to combine for an MCSA in BI Reporting (if I'm interpreting the link below correctly).

70-778 - Analyzing and Visualizing Data with Power BI (Planned)

70-779 - Analyzing Data with Excel (Planned)

Hi @ashishrj,

It's a great idea! For now we don't have anything, but maybe in the future we will as Power BI usage grows.

We do have tons of training programs around, including the edX courses (for which you can actually get a certification) and our Dashboard in a Day and Dashboard in an Hour trainings. Also, there will be a lot of opportinities to get hands on training at the Microsoft Data Insights Summit, the first ever Excel and Power BI user conference.

Hello,

Where can I find the Dashboard in an hour trainings ?

Many thanks for your assistance.

Power Bi rocks !
