DP-100 is retired: what to study next

Microsoft has retired the Azure Data Scientist Associate certification. CertiBud keeps its DP-100 question bank available for reviewing legacy Azure Machine Learning topics; it is not preparation for a currently schedulable DP-100 exam.

Who the legacy questions still help

The legacy bank may help people maintaining existing Azure Machine Learning solutions or revisiting older data-science concepts. Candidates seeking a current Microsoft credential should check the AI-300 objectives before choosing study material.

What carries over

DP-100 centered on preparing data, training models, deploying solutions, and monitoring machine learning work in Azure. These foundations can help with AI-300, but the exams are not interchangeable.

What AI-300 adds

AI-300 covers operationalizing machine learning and generative AI solutions. Its current guide includes Azure Machine Learning operations and Microsoft Foundry work, including deployment, evaluation, monitoring, and optimization.

A practical next step

1. Read Microsoft's current AI-300 study guide and mark the objectives you can already demonstrate.
2. Use the DP-100 preview only for overlapping Azure Machine Learning foundations; do not treat its questions as an AI-300 question bank.
3. Practice the newer AI-300 objectives with current Microsoft documentation and hands-on Azure exercises.
4. Recheck Microsoft's exam page before booking because objectives and availability can change.
