                    CERTIFICATION PATHS FOR EVERY ROLE
                    MicroStrategy’s certifications are recognized throughout the industry for their rigorous learning paths
                    and hands-on final projects. A MicroStrategy certification will validate and promote your expertise
                    inside and outside your company.

                    After completing your certification, you’ll receive a digital badge to post on social media to highlight
                    your accomplishment, and you can be included in MicroStrategy’s Registry of Certified Professionals.

                    The Analyst Pass supports three foundational certifications. Every MicroStrategy practitioner should
                    earn their Analyst Certification (ANL) as a baseline, and then explore the Data Scientist (SCI) and
                    Developer (DVL) paths to deepen their knowledge.

                    With the Architect Pass, you can pursue more advanced certifications for specialized Intelligence
                    Center roles. Every architect level user should earn their MicroStrategy Certified Architect (MCA) to
                    validate their expertise across all aspects of the MicroStrategy platform. From there, architects and
                    administrators can earn more specialized certifications to master specific Intelligence Center roles.

                    CONVENIENT LEARNING OPTIONS – TRAIN ON YOUR TERMS
                    The MicroStrategy Course Catalog features over 50 multi-level courses and certifications covering
                    a full spectrum of topics related to analytics and mobility. Our courseware is available in multiple
                    languages and in a variety of formats. You can select the training method that works best with your
                    schedule and preferences:

                             Instructor-led Classroom: MicroStrategy-certified instructors deliver our courses live in
                             cities around the world. You’ll benefit from hands-on experiences, exceptional materials, and
                             interactions with up to 20 peers.

                             Instructor-led Online: MicroStrategy-certified instructors deliver our courses live and
                             online in various time zones around the world. You’ll work in our high-performance cloud

                             Interactive eLearning: Most of our courses are available as interactive eLearning modules.
                             These modules follow the same content as instructor-led courses, but also contain
                             instructional videos, multimedia content, simulations, and quizzes.

                             Video Recordings: We have thousands of hours of on-demand recorded course sessions,
                             available to take whenever and wherever. These videos are easily accessible through the
                             MicroStrategy Education Center, so you can train at your own pace and convenience.

                                                                 microstrategy.com | 4
