A few months ago, I wrote an item on this blog on the new NAV 5.0 courseware and certification.

I guess that if you're a consultant, by now you should be implementing NAV 5.0 for your new customers. And if you're a consultant getting ready to certify in NAV, you should be thinking about certifying in NAV 5.0 (although the NAV 4.0 exams are still available). It's not that a lot has changed, but there are some new certification guidelines and roadmaps for NAV 5.0. And based on recent questions I got from customers, a lot of you out there are apparently not aware of the new certification in NAV 5.0.

Let me give you one example:

In NAV 4.0 and earlier, you had the popular "Financials in Microsoft Dynamics–Navision 4.0 Certification" Exam (#MB7-225). In order to take this exam you had to know your way around following modules:

• Microsoft Business Solutions - Navision 4.0 Introduction
• Microsoft Business Solutions - Navision 4.0 Financials I
• Microsoft Business Solutions - Navision 4.0 Financials II
• Microsoft Business Solutions - Navision 4.0 Fixed Assets
• Microsoft Business Solutions - Navision 4.0 Resources and Jobs

This has changed completely in NAV 5.0. The "Financials" exam is now called "Microsoft Dynamics NAV 5.0 Financials Certification Exam" (#MB7-515), but not only the name and reference have changed. The roadmap to take this exam is:

• Introduction to Microsoft Dynamics NAV 5.0
• Finance in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 5.0
• Application Setup in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 5.0
• Business Intelligence for Information Workers in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 5.0

So no "Resource and Jobs" anymore, no "Fixed Assets" anymore. Instead a couple of new courses are included. This is very important information for consultants wanting to take this exam. So keep this in mind.

The complete new certification guidelines can be found on the Plataan website (http://www.plataan.be/en/navision/it_pro/certification.htm). You will of course also find all info on new NAV 5.0 trainings which are marked:

As recession begins to bite hard, 'spending' is the watchword of the moment. While the government introduces financial initiatives designed to encourage higher spending, people and businesses are looking for ways to cut their budgets.

For the time being, the new certification guidelines can only be found on the dutch pages of our website. The english pages are in update process but not changed yet.
