Saudações pra todos, ainda não sou fluente no inglês mas eu estou estudando pra ser fluente no tanto na conversação como na escrita, sou do Brasil da cidade de Manaus capital do estado do Amazonas, hoje realizei meu exame de certificação e consegui minha certificação Foundational C#, para as pessoas que não conseguiram realizar o exame por algum motivo, tentem realizar o passo a passo novamente, provavelmente é algum detalhe que não está dando certo. Desejo sucesso pra todos
Greetings to everyone, I’m not yet fluent in English but I’m studying to be fluent in both speaking and writing, I’m from Brazil, from the city of Manaus, capital of the state of Amazonas, today I took my certification exam and got my Foundational C# certification , for people who weren’t able to take the exam for some reason, try doing the step by step again, it’s probably some detail that isn’t working. I wish everyone success
Few years ago MicroSoft had official certifications :
MCSA: Web Applications
MCSA: Universal Windows Platform
And
MCSD: App Builder
These certifications were retired with nothing to replace.
It could be a good thing that MicroSoft creates new true high level certifications on dev technologies like C#, ASP .Net, Blazor, MAUI, universal apps etc.
Hello I would like to know if the C# certification is available only on the freeCodCamp site or if after we take the exam we can see the certification in our microsoft profiles as for example in microsoft learn
At present, the certification won’t show up in your Microsoft Learn profile, but you can include it on your LinkedIn!
Thank you for your feedback, the important thing is that this is an official Microsoft certification, correct? as I am beginner / jr in development in C # / .NET, this is my first Microsoft certification, I have already added in my LinkedIn profile my first official Microsoft certification the Foundational Certification C # (FCC™). I have another question, does Microsoft have plans to make new certifications available for C# more advanced levels, .NET and SQL Server? Since I’ve been grabbing the feedback
Would be great to have an opportunity to attach this achievement as other badges to Credly 😉
