Microsoft is preparing for a new line of certification for the release of SharePoint 2013. So far not much information have been revealed, but on this page more will probably come in a near future. http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/certification/cert-sharepoint-server.aspx
Note that the links to the actual certifications are broken, they should have been:
Exam 70-331: Core Solutions of Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/Exam.aspx?ID=70-331
Exam 70-332: Advanced Solutions of Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/Exam.aspx?ID=70-332
Both certifications looks interesting, but they are not very developer focused, they would seems most interesting to IT operations people and IT pros. I’m hoping we will see an updated certification that is more focused towards developer.
I’m planning to take my last SharePoint 2010 certification, TS70-576 in a few weeks time, after that I can start focusing on the new SP2013 goodies 🙂
