General Changes & Trends More Challenging Exams
Increases the Value of Certification One-to-one Mapping of Courses to Exams!
Major Philosophical Switch As Usual, Additional Study and Exam Prep Are Required to Pass
Exams Closer Mapping of Course Topics to Skills Required in the
Industry All the Courseware Will Be One Volume
Only One “Book” Instead of Two Elimination of Three Day Courses; All SQL Courses will be Five
Days Long The Courses Were Designed Modularly to More Easily Facilitate
Custom Deliveries Example 1: T-SQL for Report Authors (First Four Days of 10774) Example 2: Building Reports & Visualizations (Portions of 10778)

Target Learning Product Audience Audience 1, Core Skills
“Accidental DBA” & Beyond Products that Require Some Form of SQL Server
Microsoft Accounting Products (Dynamics) SharePoint System Center Configuration Manager System Center Virtual Machine Manager System Center Operations Manager System Center Data Protection Manager (I think) Windows Server Update Service (WSUS)
Audience 2, Traditional Database Professionals (those working with data full time) Administrators Developers
Audience 3, Business Intelligence Professionals Reporting ETL OLAP Data Mining
The Point: When designing the new SQL 2012 courseware Microsoft aimed at these three audiences.

SQL 2012 Exam & Certification Details
Seven Certification Exams (Up from Six)
Two Certification Paths (Down from Three)
Re-Certification Will Be Required After Three Years
See diagram: SQL 2008 Certification Paths

Specific Changes from SQL Server 2008 Courses
The Querying Course Became Five Days It Is Suitable for Beginners It Should Represent a Great Improvement Over
the (Poor) 2778 Course There Are Two, Five Day Business
Intelligence (BI) Courses Instead of Three, Three Day Courses So, there are Ten Total Days of BI Training Rather
than Nine The BI Courses are Scenario-oriented Rather
than Tool-oriented Use a Screwdriver or Saw v. Becoming a Carpenter

Curiously Absent… No SQL 2012 Upgrade Courses from
Microsoft are Planned! This Segment of Learning (& Other
Gaps) Will Ideally Be Addressed Through the Courseware Library
No SQL Azure – Specific Courses SQL Azure Content Exists, However, in
Relevant Places within the SQL Courseware Portfolio
