Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central Developer (MB-820) is Microsoft's job-role certification for developers who build and extend Dynamics 365 Business Central - Microsoft's ERP for small and medium businesses (formerly NAV/Navision). It proves you can develop with the AL programming language: create and work with AL objects (tables, pages, codeunits, reports), install, develop and deploy extensions, use development tools (Visual Studio Code, sandbox environments), and integrate Business Central with other services. This is a developer certification. Microsoft recommends development experience, including object-oriented programming and an understanding of ERP and business processes. MB-820 launched in January 2024 and has no prerequisites. The exam has about 40 to 60 questions and can include case studies. It is graded on a scaled score: you need 700 on a scale of 1 to 1000 to pass. Because scoring is weighted, 700 does not mean 70% of questions correct. The exam costs about US$165 (varies by region) and is delivered through Pearson VUE.
Dynamics 365 Business Central is Microsoft's ERP for small and medium businesses, with a strong global partner ecosystem that needs skilled AL developers. MB-820 proves you can build and extend Business Central with code, supports Business Central developer roles, and - as a newer certification - helps you stand out. As a technical job-role credential it carries real weight with employers and partners, and Microsoft's free annual renewal keeps it current at no ongoing cost.
