GitHub Certifications for Microsoft Partners
GitHub certifications are an industry-endorsed approach to demonstrating proficiency with GitHub
technologies. These certifications complement Microsoft’s existing role-based certifications, which
validate knowledge of foundational DevOps and cloud development concepts. GitHub certifications are
designed to validate your expertise on applying these concepts with specific GitHub products.
GitHub certifications are highly recommended for partners who plan to leverage GitHub as part of their
customer’s digital transformation, modernizing web applications, or DevSecOps efforts. GitHub
certifications are currently available to GitHub Services & Channel Partners and Microsoft Partner
Network partners.
