Microsoft Azure Certification List
Here’s a roadmap graphic of the Microsoft Certifications, so you can visualize how the structure works. Basically, you take multiple individual certification exams that qualify for a particular certification. In general, on your way to earning the larger MCSE or MCSD certification you will also earn an MCSA certification. This provides a stepped path from passing a single certification exam, to earning an MCSA, and finally an MCSE or MCSD certification along your specialty path.
