Microsoft Announces New Prices for Certification Exams
Thanks to Microsoft, they have not raised their certification prices for a long time, until now. Effective July 1, 2011, the retail price of Microsoft Certifications will increase worldwide, except for India where the increase will be in effect on August 1, 2011.
Although some of the prices for Microsoft Certification exams for students and academic institutions will increase, according to Microsoft, the discount will remain significant. This is because Microsoft wants to help students become more employable for entry jobs in the IT industry. IT Academy members, high school, college, or university students enrolled in a degree or diploma program will continue to receive a discount off the retail price of select Microsoft Certification exams.
Exam prices can vary by country or region. You can use Microsoft’s pricing tool to determine your current and future Microsoft Certification exam prices (requires Microsoft Silverlight).
Old price in US & Canada = USD $125
New price in US & Canada = USD $150
