I was able to earn the MCSA: Machine Learning certification. This is because the BETA period for the 773, 774, and 775 exams are finally complete, and I was able to earn credit for all three. Which means I not only picked up the MCSA: Machine Learning but renewed my MCSE: Data Management and Analytics.

The MCSA: Machine Learning is a Microsoft Certified Solutions Associate certification focused on validating skills in data science, R-based analytics, and Azure Machine Learning.

The certification is designed for professionals wanting to demonstrate expertise in:

• Operationalizing machine learning using Azure Machine Learning
• Analyzing and processing big data using Microsoft R Server and SQL Server R Services
• Building predictive models using ScaleR
• Using Azure ML Studio for data prep, model development, and deployment

It was best suited for data scientists and data analysts working with Microsoft’s data platform and cloud ML tools.
