C# .NET Developer key facts & eligibility
| Conducting body | Microsoft (historically) |
|---|---|
| Official website | learn.microsoft.com ↗ |
| Mode | IMPORTANT: Microsoft does not currently offer a standalone C#/.NET “Developer Associate” certification. The C#-specific exam (70-483: Programming in C#) retired on 31 January 2021, and the MCSD/.NET certifications were retired in favour of role-based credentials. Microsoft’s current developer certification is the Azure Developer Associate (AZ-204), which uses C#/.NET among other languages — note that AZ-204 is itself scheduled to retire by 31 July 2026. |
| Scoring & marking | This practice covers C# and .NET developer fundamentals — C# syntax and types, object-oriented programming, collections and LINQ, exception handling, async/await, and common .NET libraries — useful for real-world .NET development and for the C# portions of Microsoft’s current Azure developer certification. There is no single Microsoft “C# certification” to sit; validate .NET skills through the Azure Developer Associate or vendor-neutral assessments. |
| Score validity | Not applicable — there is no standalone C#/.NET certification exam. |
| Language | English. |
