At Microsoft Build 2026, we’re introducing new ways for developers to learn and demonstrate skills in the tools they use every day.
Today, we’re announcing:
• Microsoft Pro Badge (private preview), a first-of-its-kind credential that sets a new standard for recognizing real-world skills and verified proficiency demonstrated through everyday work.
• Co-authored skilling experiences with Anthropic in AI Skills Navigator.
Learn in flow. Build across stacks. Get recognized for what you do.
Then build further at AI Skills Fest, earn certification opportunities* and compete in an AI hackathon*.
