A few weeks ago, I did a post about the newly released path to MCSE SharePoint 2013 and I had many people ask me about the Developer Path. At the moment, I didn’t knew anything, however during an 1-hour presentation on the Microsoft Certified SharePoint Master program, there was a Slide containing info on the Developer Certification Exam.
PS: At the time of this post, the MCSD SharePoint Certification Path is not on the Microsoft Learning Website!
For the Microsoft Certified Solutions Developer (MCSD) in SharePoint you will need to pass 4 exams. Two of them are SharePoint focused, and two of them are from the MCSD: Web Application part.
SharePoint Focused:
- 70-488
- 70-489
Web Focused
- 70-480 (PS: You can take this exam for free at the moment. more info HERE)
- TBD
Also, The MCSE and the MCSD are subject to the new “Recertification” strategy that came out in April.For the MCSE, it is confirmed at 3 years. For the MCSD, I am not 100% sure yet, however the other MCSD exams it’s every 2 years.
