Certifications

Certification programs are for anyone who would like to learn how to develop and implement BI applications on the MicroStrategy platform. Certification offers third-party validation of your MicroStrategy knowledge and skills, an important credential for those interested in pursuing a BI career.

If you have developer(MCD) or engineer(MCE) certification on an older version of MicroStrategy and would like to update your credential for the current version, you needn't take any of the courses so long as you pass the upgrade exam.

The following certification programs are available for MicroStrategy version 9 only. For information about certifications for a prior version, please contact us.
