Yes, the Beta SBS 2008 exam does count towards competency requirements

I have been receiving some questions from Partners regarding the beta SBS 2008 Exam that I mentioned in my “Claim your free SBS 2008 (Small Business Server 2008) exam voucher from Microsoft, but hurry!” post regarding whether or not that test would count towards competency requirements since it is a beta test. Well, I confirmed with the certifications teams and they have made it official, yes, Beta exams DO count towards competency requirements. So use those free exam vouchers in full confidence that by passing the exam, your efforts will count towards your competency requirements.

Thank you and have a wonderful day,
