Dynamics 365 Consultant Roadmap: Breaking into Enterprise ERP
Dynamics 365 consulting is one of the highest‑paying niches in the Microsoft ecosystem, and one of the least crowded. The reason is the barrier: the material is specific, the specialisms are separated by job advert, and the certifications that open the roles are more fine‑grained than most Microsoft paths.
Eight exams span from the fundamentals papers to the senior functional consultant specialisms. Sequence matters here more than on almost any other Microsoft ladder.

MB-700 (Finance and Operations Solution Architect) is the senior generalist. MB-500 (Developer Associate) is for the pro‑code consultants. MB-820 (Business Central Developer) is the senior developer paper. These are the papers that put “senior consultant” on the adverts.
