If you want to build a career in SharePoint administration, development, or collaboration solutions, earning a Microsoft SharePoint certification is one of the most effective ways to validate your skills and stand out in today’s competitive IT landscape.
At Microtek Learning, we help learners worldwide gain the right technical expertise and certification guidance to become SharePoint-certified professionals — whether you’re an IT administrator, business analyst, or developer working with Microsoft 365.
Before we dive into the steps, it’s important to understand that Microsoft no longer offers a single “SharePoint Certification.” Instead, SharePoint is now part of the Microsoft 365 certification pathway, which reflects the platform’s integration with tools like Microsoft Teams, OneDrive, Power Platform, and Azure.
Becoming SharePoint certified today means earning one or more Microsoft 365 role-based certifications that focus on cloud collaboration, administration, and app development using SharePoint Online.
Start by gaining a solid foundation in Microsoft 365 services, including SharePoint Online, Teams, and OneDrive for Business.
The best entry-level certification is:
Microsoft 365 Certified: Fundamentals (MS-900)
This certification helps you understand how SharePoint fits into the broader Microsoft 365 ecosystem — including collaboration, cloud storage, and compliance.
Recommended course at Microtek Learning:
👉 Microsoft 365 Fundamentals (MS-900) Training
Depending on your job role or career goals, there are different paths to becoming SharePoint certified:
| Career Goal | Recommended Certification | Focus Area |
|---|---|---|
| IT Administrator | Microsoft 365 Certified: Teamwork Administrator Associate | Managing SharePoint Online, OneDrive, and Teams |
| Developer | Microsoft 365 Certified: Developer Associate (MS-600) | Building apps and integrations using SharePoint Framework (SPFx) and Graph API |
| Power User / Business Analyst | Microsoft Certified: Power Platform App Maker (PL-100) | Automating SharePoint workflows using Power Automate and Power Apps |
Each path deepens your expertise in the tools and technologies that modern organizations rely on for collaboration, automation, and content management.
Practical experience is key to mastering SharePoint. Set up a Microsoft 365 Developer account or practice in a SharePoint sandbox environment to explore:
Site collections and libraries
Permissions and sharing controls
Power Automate flows
SharePoint Framework (SPFx) customizations
