    What is the MCSE Data Platform?

    The Microsoft Certified Solutions Expert (MCSE): Data Platform certification shows that you have the broad set of skills needed to build and administer enterprise-scale data solutions both on-premise or in cloud environments. The MCSE: Data Platform certification exams test your ability to implement database objects and programming objects, optimize and troubleshoot queries, design a troubleshooting and optimization solution, and design databases and database objects, structure, and security. Earning an MCSE: Data Platform certification will qualify you for such jobs as database analyst and database designer.

    To get a MCSE: Data Platform certification you need to complete these five exams:

    Exam 461: Querying Microsoft SQL Server 2012
    Exam 462: Administering Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Databases
    Exam 463: Implementing a Data Warehouse with Microsoft SQL Server 2012

    After finishing Exam 461462 and 463 you'll earn a Microsoft Certified Solutions Associate (MCSA): SQL Server 2012 certification. Once you have your MCSA: SQL Server 2012 the next two exams will upgrade that to a MCSE: Data Platform.

    Exam 464: Developing Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Databases
    Exam 465: Designing Database Solutions for SQL Server 2012

    After finishing all five of these exams you will be awarded a MCSE: Data Platform qualification. See below for more information on the exams.
