Hi there,

The Suite certifications look nice, though in reality: its nothing. You get it for free when, you don't have to take an exam for it, you don't have to take a delta exam for it annually, etc..

You just get it when you obtain the correct combination of mainline certifications and micro certifcations.

I also have never heard anyone asking for a suite certification, for a job position, a job interview, etc.. So it looks nice, though in reality: its nothing.

Hi @Aditya1204 

Currently none of certification is freely available on Now Learning,  If you are not associated with partner company.

As individual , you need to pay for training n voucher cost.

Mainline certification is for a particular concept or product I can sat like itsm , Risk management,  these are in depth and mostly training will from 8 hr to 24hrs lengthy. 

Micro, a brief about topic like ATF,  flow designer which is open book n mainly from mins to hrs in length.

Suites when we complete all related certification mainly of a specific product is called suite, like if itsm, csm suite.

Hi @Aditya1204 ,

1. No use or importance - it's just about the correct combination of training / certifications.
   1. Suite consist of a combination of micro and mainline including training.
   2. Micro, there is no delta and only proves that you have taken the training for something (or at least scrolled through it)
   3. Main certifications, here there is monitored exam, yearly delta exams etc.

Hi @Aditya1204 

The main difference between all the three of the certifications is based upon the duration and validity of the certifications.

1. Micro certifications are usually self paced courses which are there to provide you with the core knowledge                 of the topic you enrolled for , The assessment for these certifications are usually non proctored
2.   Suite certifications doesn't provide any material or course as such to explore it just shows that you have             the basic understanding of some specific topics related to a domain. Usually these are provided within 24   hours of completion of a particular set of courses.
3.   Mainline certifications are the main assessment of your understanding, where upon completion of the           courses required you would have to appear in an assessment(proctored one) which can be either taken from exam centers or from your own location, and once you qualify that exam then only you earn a certification. Also there is expiry date of your certification after which you have to appear in the delta exam or would have to pay a maintenance fee for auto renewal of the certification
