The document discusses Microsoft's transition to a new certification model focused on roles. It outlines the skill gap facing many industries and how the new certifications are designed to be role-based, experience-aligned, and simple to understand. The certifications are structured according to job roles like administrator, developer, and architect at fundamental, associate, and expert levels. The existing MCSE certification is also discussed in terms of next steps for current and future candidates. Finally, it notes the exam questions will move beyond multiple choice to include case studies, drag and drop problems, and performance testing.

Changes In Questions Asked
In the starting of an exam, you’ll get a question to state your experience with
Azure networking with three options viz. beginner, medium and expert.
However, in contrast to what you’re thinking, the intention of this question isn’t
for choosing the difficulty level of questions you have to face.
Instead, Microsoft just wants to know when you’re actually taking the exam (for
measuring purpose only).
