GitHub Foundations Boot Camp – GH-900 tests the GitHub you skipped.

Passing GH-900 earns GitHub Foundations, a Microsoft-administered, GitHub-branded certification at beginner level. It lands on your Microsoft Learn transcript once you pass, so employers can verify it directly from there.

No. Microsoft applies its fundamentals policy to GH-900, which does not offer a recertification option, so the credential does not require renewal. Every other GitHub certification is valid for two years.

2 days of live, instructor-led GH-900 training from Official Microsoft Courseware, delivered online or in person. Class runs 9am to 5pm, the labs are hosted so you need only a laptop, and test day is scheduled for Day 2.

Yes. Your $99 GH-900 exam voucher is included with your enrollment. Nothing further is owed on test day, and the voucher stays valid if you would rather book the exam later.

You get 100 minutes. Microsoft does not publish a fixed question count for the GitHub exams. Passing is a scaled score of 700 out of 1000.

Seven skill areas, weighted as published by Microsoft: Understand Git and GitHub basics (25-30%); Work with GitHub repositories (10-15%); Collaborate using GitHub (10-15%); Apply modern development practices (10-15%); Manage projects with GitHub (5-10%); Understand privacy, security and administration (10-15%); Explore the GitHub community (5-10%).

Microsoft writes this exam for non-developers, developers and all GitHub users. Microsoft tags it for administrators, developers, DevOps engineers, solution architects and app makers, so it suits anyone joining a team that works in GitHub.

None. GitHub enforces no prerequisite for any of its exams, and GH-900 assumes no prior GitHub experience.

GH-200 GitHub Actions and GH-300 GitHub Copilot if you build and automate, or GH-100 GitHub Enterprise Administrator if you will run GitHub for other teams. Our GitHub Enterprise Certification Track covers GH-100, GH-200, GH-300 and GH-500 in five days.

Your retake is covered by our Free Retake Guarantee. You return for the full GH-900 course at no cost and sit the exam again, keeping 180 days of instructor support to work through whatever tripped you up.

Yes. We run private cohorts online or at your site, and can adjust the agenda to your environment. Private GH-900 cohorts run to your own schedule, and the agenda can lean toward the parts of the blueprint your team actually uses.

Many of our courses are approved. Eligibility for the GH-900 boot camp depends on the program and your location, so check our military and veterans page or contact us before enrolling.

GitHub Foundations is the accessible entry point to the GitHub certification family, it assumes no prior certification, and once earned it never expires.

It is a fundamentals exam, so breadth over depth. Repositories, collaboration, projects and Copilot basics are all touched rather than examined deeply.

Developers new to GitHub, project managers working alongside engineering teams, and anyone supporting a team whose work lives in GitHub.
