MICROSTRATEGY EDUCATION—TRAIN AND CERTIFY EVERY USER

MicroStrategy Education is committed to the success of every MicroStrategy practitioner, from novice
analysts to the most experienced Intelligence Center architects. To that end, we’ve designed a program
of continuous training and certification for the essential roles in your Intelligent Enterprise.
And our subscription-based Education Passes make it easy, giving you convenient and economical
access to all the training you need to build your MicroStrategy skills and advance your career. Our key
educational offerings include:
MICROSTRATEGY EDUCATION PASS – ANALYST

For Analysts, Data Scientists, and Developers
This catalog introduces certifications and recommended learning paths for Analysts, Data Scientists,
and Developers. The Analyst Pass is a 12-month subscription that gives you cost-effective access to all the
courseware related to these three certifications (11 courses).
Education Pass – Analyst is $350 per user, discounted to $200 when purchased in a bundle of
100 or more.*
MICROSTRATEGY EDUCATION PASS – ARCHITECT

For Architects and Administrators
We’ve developed new, advanced certifications for nine critical Intelligence Center roles. The Architect Pass
is a 12-month subscription that gives you unlimited access to our entire catalog of live and on-demand
courseware.
Education Pass – Architect is $3,500 per user, discounted to $2,000 when purchased in a bundle

preparing and customizing the content and delivering it at your location.
A detailed summary of our MicroStrategy Education Services options can be found on Page 5 of
this document.*
*Local non-USD pricing available upon request.

CERTIFICATION PATHS FOR EVERY ROLE

MicroStrategy’s certifications are recognized throughout the industry for their rigorous learning paths
and hands-on final projects. A MicroStrategy certification will validate and promote your expertise
inside and outside your company.
After completing your certification, you’ll receive a digital badge to post on social media to highlight
your accomplishment, and you can be included in MicroStrategy’s Registry of Certified Professionals.
The Analyst Pass supports three foundational certifications. Every MicroStrategy practitioner should
earn their Analyst Certification (ANL) as a baseline, and then explore the Data Scientist (SCI) and
Developer (DVL) paths to deepen their knowledge.
With the Architect Pass, you can pursue more advanced certifications for specialized Intelligence
Center roles. Every architect level user should earn their MicroStrategy Certified Architect (MCA) to
validate their expertise across all aspects of the MicroStrategy platform. From there, architects and
administrators can earn more specialized certifications to master specific Intelligence Center roles.
CONVENIENT LEARNING OPTIONS – TRAIN ON YOUR TERMS

The MicroStrategy Course Catalog features over 50 multi-level courses and certifications covering
a full spectrum of topics related to analytics and mobility. Our courseware is available in multiple
languages and in a variety of formats. You can select the training method that works best with your
schedule and preferences:
