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.
