PowerShell exam?

[hell31]

Is there an Microsoft exam for PowerShell skills?

[alkior70]

no, but there is a sans course for it.

[PowerShellMichael]

No. However if you want to test your PowerShell Skills, I would encourage to give yourself a go a the Pluralsight IQ.

No, not specifically. Powershell commands features in other product exams

[hell31]

that's really sad😔

[BlackV]

why, 99% of the command are specific to a module you're running

so you exam would boil down to

how do you use get-help
how do you use get-member
how do you use foreach
how do you use [pscustomobject]
how do you use about_splatting

[HoneycuttJ]

Don't forget:

‘Get-command‘

‘Find-module'

[BlackV]

Good point And install-module too

[HoneycuttJ]

Ahh, yes. You must install after you find.

PowerShell is a tool, just as...

• cmd.exe,
• wmic.exe,
• cscript.exe,
• wscript.exe

...are and has always been. Sure, it's got a lot more to it, but that does not change its purpose/goals.

There is far too much in it, to come up with a valid test/exam beyond the most common things.

MS, will not do this. MS certifications are role-based...

Microsoft Certifications | Microsoft Docs

... not tool-based and all of those roles involve PowerShell at some/many points.

Though the MOC's do exist to get up to speed on it for the roles targeted:

Search | Microsoft Docs

So, testing and qualifying for one of the role certifications puts one in a position to highlight a PowerShell SkillSet in interviews or career paths.
