Initial by examination
Exam MB-820: Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central Developer
Description
Initial Microsoft certification by passing MB-820. The current credential page and poster identify one examination; the current linked guide adopts skills measured as of June 10, 2025. This is a Microsoft skills certification, with no claim of state-issued practice authorization. The audience profile calls for applied Business Central/AL and development knowledge; recommended training is preparation rather than a separate credential or exam requirement. Registration is by rolling appointment through the MB-820 Pearson VUE link: no more than 90 days in advance and a maximum of two Microsoft Certification exams scheduled at once. A Learn profile is used, with a legal name matching legal ID; a personal MSA is recommended. Online delivery is conditional on provider availability and meeting computer/security requirements; accommodation requests must precede scheduling. Renewal is outside this initial-qualification investigation. No official starting date for this credential or route is supplied; dates remain null.
