In this post I will be sharing my preparation journy for the MB – 800 certification. So if you are looking from where to start, this is the right place.
Here is the Microsoft Learn Certification Page. If you scroll down a little bit you will find the studying guide and this is where I started.
As it is mentioning in the studying guide, 4 major skills will be measured as follows:
- Set up Business Central (20-25%)
- Configure financails (30-35%)
- Configure sales and purchasing (15-20%)
- Perform Business Central operations (25-30%)
Scrolling down more, the 4 major skills will be broken down to subjects, in the below table, I have mapped the subjects to Microsoft Learn and Microsoft Docs so it is easier to review, read and study.
Note: Microsoft Learn is a huge website, So I might miss links.

Tips and Tricks:
- Book the exam first then start studying so you have a deadline that you need to meet.
- From my personal preview, I expect that the preparation will take from 2 – 4 weeks – Based on your current knowledge and assuming you are working during the day – If you are not a solution architect or a senior consultant in NAV or Business Central.
- If you are new to Business Central, have a look at the following before you start with the above:
- In the last page of the Studying Guide there is a study resources list.
Good luck with your journy,
Until next post.
