What this is

The exam covers campaign setup, audiences, Shopping feeds and measurement inside Microsoft's ad network. Both the material and the exam are free.

It is less known than Google Ads, and that is exactly why it stands out in agencies serving Western markets: Bing traffic often goes unused simply because nobody on the team knows the platform.

Who it is for

PPC specialists looking to expand beyond Google.

How to get it

  1. 1Open Microsoft and create a free account. No card is asked for at any point.
  2. 2Work through the material, ~6 h in total. It is self-paced, so the time is yours to spread.
  3. 3Pass the graded exam. This is the part that is normally paid elsewhere, and it is the reason this row is in the directory.
  4. 4Download the certificate as a PDF and keep the verification link, which is what an employer actually checks.
