INTRO
The release of MicroStrategy 2019

introduced a suite of powerful new
capabilities, including transformational
mobility, federated analytics, and
HyperintelligenceTM.
As we continue to work in pursuit of

our vision, we continually innovate and
add new features and capabilities to our
industry-leading platform.
We want to keep every MicroStrategy user

fully educated on our latest capabilities so
they can develop their skillsets, advance
their careers, and help their organizations
extract the most business value from their
MicroStrategy investments.

To that end, we’ve expanded our role-based Certification Program and introduced new
subscription-based Education Passes, giving you convenient and cost-effective access to the training
you need to build your MicroStrategy skills and expertise. Our key educational opportunities include:
FOR ANALYSTS, DATA SCIENTISTS, AND DEVELOPERS

Earn Certifications with the Analyst Pass ($350/year)
This catalog introduces certifications and recommended learning paths for Analysts,
Data Scientists, and Developers. Our new Analyst Pass is a 12-month subscription
that gives you cost-effective access to all of the courseware related to these three
certifications (11 courses).
FOR INTELLIGENCE CENTER ARCHITECTS

Earn Advanced Certifications with the Architect Pass ($3,500/year)
We’ve developed new, advanced certifications for eight critical Intelligence Center
roles. The Architect Pass is a 12-month subscription that gives you unlimited access
to our entire catalog of live and on-demand courseware.
MicroStrategy offers a rich curriculum, carefully designed to support our certification programs.
Before exploring these offerings, please review the following sections for important details on our
Courseware, Certifications, Learning Paths, and Access Options.

CONVENIENT LEARNING OPTIONS

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 a variety of formats. You can select the training method that works best for your
schedule and preferences:
Instructor-led: MicroStrategy-certified instructors deliver courses in-person at MicroStrategy

locations or online, with multiple sessions available per course.
Video Recordings: We have thousands of hours of on-demand recorded course sessions that users
can easily access through our Learning Portal.
On-Demand: Most of our courses are available as interactive modules that you can complete at
your own pace. These modules follow the same content as instructor-led courses, but also contain
instructional videos, multimedia content, simulations, and quizzes.
ROLE-BASED CERTIFICATIONS
MicroStrategy’s certifications are unique in the industry. Beyond passing an exam, students must also
complete a rigorous, hands-on final project. Our certifications ensure that every Analyst, Data Scientist,
and Developer and Intelligence Center Architect and Administrator is equipped with the expertise and
best practices required for their roles.
And we make it easy. Our subscription-based Education Passes for Analysts and Architects give
students cost-effective access to all the resources they’ll need to earn their certifications.
Once you complete your certification, you’ll receive a digital badge to post on social media to
highlight your accomplishment and expertise.
