Microsoft Achieves ANSI 17024 Accreditation

October 8th, 2009 • Related • Filed Under

Microsoft recently received accreditation for conformance to the international standard ISO/IEC 17024 General Requirements for Bodies Operating Certification of Persons by the American National Standards Institute for two of its IT certification programs. The blog world is buzzing with the news since these are the first product-specific IT certifications accredited to the international standard and ANSI. Lots of individual IT bloggers responded on their own blogs and the buzz is positive, with agreement that the third-party "stamp of approval" is a really good thing for both Microsoft and the individuals certified.

See the Microsoft blog announcement here.
