Udemy Expands End-to-End Certification Journey with Microsoft Certifications

“This strategic expansion builds on Udemy’s certification preparation offering, which has generated more than 10 million enrollments over the past 12 months, and responds to strong learner and employer demand for Microsoft skills,” said Ramji Sundararajan, President of Consumer Business at Udemy. “By offering Microsoft exam vouchers directly on Udemy’s platform to our global audience, we’re delivering an end-to-end certification journey that helps learners build confidence, reduce friction, and more easily achieve career-advancing credentials with Microsoft’s top products.”

Microsoft Certifications span cloud computing, data analysis, AI, cybersecurity, and productivity technologies, and are among the most sought-after credentials by both individual learners and enterprise teams. With this expanded certification voucher offering, professionals can now integrate certification readiness into their learning plans more directly and advance their careers. A recent study by Pearson VUE found that certification leads to concrete career benefits, including promotions, salary increases, and the ability to adapt to changing job responsibilities.

Microsoft Copilot was the #1 surging business skill on Udemy in 2025, with course consumption increasing 3,400% year-over-year. Microsoft Power BI ranked as the fourth most consumed tech skill on Udemy Business, and three of the 10 most consumed cloud computing skills were tied to Microsoft certifications like Azure Fundamentals (AZ-900).

“Expanding access to Microsoft certification exam vouchers through Udemy is another way we’re helping professionals showcase the real-world skills employers value,” said Geoff Hirsch, Head of Microsoft Training Partner Channel at Microsoft. “By enabling learners to prepare and then validate their expertise on a trusted platform like Udemy, we’re supporting broader access to opportunities in the digital economy.”

“For many learners, the biggest hurdle isn’t gaining the knowledge; it’s taking the final step to validate it,” said Scott Duffy, Udemy Instructor specializing in Microsoft certification prep. “By making Microsoft exam vouchers available alongside the exam preparation and practice resources students already use, Udemy helps learners move more efficiently from skill development to certification so they can confidently demonstrate proficiency in the technologies employers recognize and value.”

“Making Microsoft Certification exams available through Udemy is about meeting learners where they already are,” said Geoff Hirsch, Head of Global Skilling Channel at Microsoft. “By enabling professionals to prepare, schedule, and validate their skills in one familiar, trusted environment, we’re removing friction from the learning journey and making it easier for learners to demonstrate job ready expertise when it matters most.”
