*SharePoint certifications are largely integrated into Microsoft 365 certifications is due to the evolving nature of Microsoft's ecosystem. Here are a few key points about this:
Integration with Microsoft 365: SharePoint is a core component of the Microsoft 365 suite, which includes other services like Teams, OneDrive, and Exchange. This integration means that managing SharePoint often involves managing these other services as well.
Role-Based Certifications: Microsoft has shifted towards role-based certifications that reflect real-world job roles. Since SharePoint administrators, developers, and architects typically work within the broader context of Microsoft 365, the certifications are designed to cover the full scope of their responsibilities.
Comprehensive Skill Sets: The certifications aim to provide a comprehensive skill set that includes not only SharePoint but also other tools and services that professionals will encounter in their roles. This approach ensures that certified individuals are well-rounded and capable of handling a variety of tasks within the Microsoft 365 environment.
Modern Development Practices: For developers, the SharePoint Framework (SPFx) is the modern development model for building custom solutions on SharePoint. This framework is part of the broader Microsoft 365 development platform, which is why the certifications include it as part of the Microsoft 365 Developer Associate path
By integrating SharePoint into the Microsoft 365 certification paths, Microsoft has ensured that professionals are equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to effectively manage and develop within the entire Microsoft 365 ecosystem.
