Awarded for completing Buying Through a Cloud Marketplace and passing its exam, demonstrating the ability to run a cloud marketplace purchase correctly: committed spend, procurement, legal and security review, and a realistic post deployment plan.
Certificates are designed to be checked, not just displayed.
The credential is valid for 12 months from issue. Its public page states the expiry date, and renewing means passing the current exam again — so the credential always reflects the current material.
