What's changed with SQL 2012 courses?

  • 1:1 mapping between exam, course, and book (no more two-course mapping!)
  • An exam preparation book for each exam
  • More real-world scenarios and business context

     

What's different about the exams and certifications this time?

  • More community involvement in identifying the skills to be tested (over 300 people participated!)
  • Higher expectations of skill level and experience for the successful candidate
  • More direct focus on core skills such as querying and on business context
  • Recertification required every three years at the Pro level

     

Recertification

Microsoft has made the decision that to ensure that the certifications remain a meaningful and valuable indicator of candidate's skills. SQL Server 2012 Professional-level certifications will require recertification every three years. Initially, the recertification requirement will be one or two exams.
